As I promised yesterday, I added most of the PSP 2 concept designs that were featured on Kotaku to a video that you can check out below. See the best two concepts in the previous post and the full list of designs on the original site.

The gaming folks of Kotaku have come up with a neat PSP 2 design contest, which showed us what people think of the next generation of Sony’s portable consoles. A couple of them are interesting to say the least, but my favourite is the very first one you can admire below. It’s got a touchscreen, a 16GB flash drive, a webcam, a PS2 emulator and tons of other features, but still… it’s no PSP Phone.
Another concept I digged was this “bogus design” below, created by Torokun. This PSP 2 features a touchscreen with a multi touch sensor, an 852 x 480 and 16:9 display to be more precise and a pretty neat sliding mechanism. It may remind some of you of what Nokia was trying to do back in the days with some of its handsets, but this concept goes far beyond and still manages to include that UMD drive we don’t need, plus the useful memory slot.
Check out Kotaku’s site for more PSP 2 designs and you’ll probably see a video of these designs in here tomorrow!

After seeing dozens of PSP Phone concepts, we finally stumbled upon a patent of the device, only to be surprised by how much it resembles the original iPhone patent. Sony’s patent application is called “Orientation based multiple mode mechanically vibrated touchscreen display“, which pretty much defines what you can see below.
We could be dealing with a special Sony Ericsson handset, featuring a touchscreen display, accelerometer (or some sort of orientation system) and haptics feedback. However, before comparing this device to the iPhone, we should be taking into account the fact that Sony filed this patent application on August 30, 2006, months before the launch of Apple’s device.
Does this look like a plausible PSP Phone to you? For me it spells “Nintendo DS” a bit, but that may be my usual copycat paranoia.

Since we’re tired of only hearing PSP 2 and PSP Phone rumours, let’s give good old Nintendo a chance and check out their new DS concept, designed by Phil Nolan. Can anyone say “crisp display?” It seems we’re dealing with a thinner device, which features a quality display plus the same control system Nintendo has been using for the past years.
Its designer states that the console is inspired by the Wii, PSP and iPhone. The quality of the graphics charms us enough to really want this baby for Christmas 2008.
