We're only four days away from a supposed January 27th unveiling, but
apparently there are still more juicy PSP2 rumors left to dole out --
Japan's often-reliable Nikkei newspaper reports that the handheld
machine will sport a crisp OLED touchscreen and 3G data from NTT
DoCoMo when it arrives later this year, with the latter enabling
multiplayer action and even full video and game downloads over the
Japanese cellular network. What's more, the paper confirms that the
screen will be physically larger and powered by some potent new
silicon. So, how will Sony differentiate this PSP2 from the
PlayStation Phone and tempt you to buy both? The game system won't
make calls.

Note: In case you're not familiar, the image above is a relatively
ancient reader mockup, and likely not representative of the final
product. It is pretty sexy, though.
