so nothing new is anounced yet and the antenna was always there for wifi omgDid you think that the rumored PSP-3000 model was pure, unadulterated bunk? Well, think again. Sony has already sent a new PSP model marked PSP-3001 to the FCC for testing.
The FCC reports are dated July 7, with the testing dates listed as July 9 to July 16. According to Ask-wi.com, FCC certification usually takes about 2 to 4 weeks, so that part is pretty much done. You can check out the reports here.
There's a lot of pretty technical stuff on the FCC reports and while there's no big "Pandora-proof" seal anywhere there, I'd it's pretty fair to assume that this new model would carry some sort of heavy protection against Pandora, just like the PSP-2000 TA-088v3.
It seems all we have to do now is wait for official announcements from Sony. Christmas would probably be a safe bet for the PSP-3000's release, but it could be sooner. Keep checking back here for more updates.[via qj.net]
The PSP-3001 is real, folks. The next generation follow-up to the current PSP-2000 series system was discovered on the FCC website. Problem? We don't see anything particularly new about it ... yet. Unfortunately, many of the more interesting details about the system are still unavailable for public access. Expect to see more info coming out of Sony about this next PSP revision in the coming weeks.
