Sony has announced via, GC, that there is in fact a hardware revision for the PSP, "3000", hitting the shelves soon.

Slightly "smoother" in physical appearance, built in mic, and a better screen.
Apparently they’ve simultaneously announced that PSP users will get free WiFi via a provider, FON.
Usual question, how long until we the PSP can take a sim card???
*EDIT*
But maybe I’m looking at it the wrong way, maybe sony don’t want to deal with the carriers and their "issues", maybe they plan on circumventing them, and empowering their users with Skype and strategic WiFi based partnerships. Or maybe I’m being too optimistic…
