After reading the GaiKai CTO interview article today, I can see lots of potential for Google to actually acquire a company like GaiKai. It all fits perfectly with Google's initiatives. Sony is playing it right by joining. I wonder how far Sony will take this.
@Alan The PSP2 will have to offer more than 2 analog sticks, slick design, faster internet, and better browser to compete. The features you mention are important but they are incremental improvements that do not change the main experience that you are getting with the PSP today.
