Hardware News: PSP Go Tech Specs and Pix

Yes, it's PSP Go time. We've been handed the specs to the little, and we mean little, beastie. For a start, it's actually the 'PSP-N1000'.

Next, it is, apparently, 50% smaller and 40% lighter than the original PSP and has that sliding 3.8-inch display screen. It's Ad-Hoc mode allows for 16 console connections.

Oh, and it has no UMD drive. It does not, however, replace the UMD's PSP-3000, definitely not, which will come as relief to current owners of PSPs, and retailers of UMDs.

So, those specs in full and don't forget the pix on the related images page.
