Kaz Hirai mentioned additional details about the NGP, Sony plans to release multiple versions of the hardware, including Wi-Fi only and 3G + Wi-Fi models. The company is currently negotiating with carriers in various territories on rate plans and fees. With regards to phone features, he said it doesn't make sense to use NGP as a phone due to its shape, it would require a headset. Hirai also provided additional info on the system:
* Battery life is unavailable because the system is still in prototype phases
* NGP is compatible with existing PSP software, it runs PSP games through emulation
* PSP games can only be downloaded to the NGP, those who already have downloaded PSP titles can re-download them to NGP (you must be within the download number limits imposed by PSN)
* NGP does not run on Android OS, it uses a customized OS
* NGP games will ship on custom flash based memory cards, it is a ROM with rewritable space for storing game saves and DLC
* NGP will support general memory cards as well
* Current NGP model does not support video output
