Rumors pertaining to the PSP2 (sometimes called PSP-4000) seem to be getting wilder and more exciting as the days go by. First, we heard about the UMD drive's removal and the addition of sliding screens, but now it's all touch screens (that slide) and dual analog nubs. According to PocketGamer, who apparently spoke with a developer working on the new hardware (and not Dave Perry), all of these new features will be available later this year when the PSP2 ships sometime before Christmas.
If we're following Sony's usual timeline of events, we'll see the new hardware unveiled at E3 -- just like the PSP-2000 and PSP-3000 in the previous years.

Wow, son, this s**t just got real. Wait wait, let us get you up to speed with a fictionalized one act play.
Dave Perry, Acclaim COO: The PSP 2 totally isn't going to have a UMD drive.
Sony spokesperson John Koller: Huh? Wha? PSP 2?
Dave Perry, game industry veteran: Exactly.
Now, DP has gone one step further to extend the beef. He just dispatched a Twitter message (or, as they say on the streets, a "tweet") saying, "John Koller is publically questioning my post about PSP 2. So I confirmed with Top PSP 2 developers. John, state that PSP 2 WILL have UMD." Oh snap!
Dave, how about you stop sweating the contents of the PSP 2 and make us another Wild 9 for it? Please?
