The PSP Go's release is coming up this fall and it said to be one of the coolest handheld game networks that also has the ability to access TV and even movie rentals.
In comparison to the PSP-3000, the PSP Go is 43-percent lighter then its predecessor. Although there is yet an official price tag on this new handheld console, there are rumors floating around that it will be cheaper than the PSP-3000.
Implications - In light of the ubiquitous presence of Wi-Fi signals and the availability of long-lasting batteries, today's gadget-owners expect to enjoy their electronics on-the-go. A business capable of making their products not only smaller, more mobile and longer-lasting will inevitably usurp the patronage of many like-minded customers from its competitors.
