Even though it’s not the total revolution hoped for, I’m excited about the PSP Go! The design is a big improvement and while the lack of a touch-screen is a disappointment, it should make the PSP platform far more competitive with Apple’s iPod Touch.

The PSP Go, of course, is like taking the original PSP and putting it on diet pills for about a month. It’s lighter and smaller than the original PSP design, and it finally sheds those awkward UMDs in favor of a bunch of flash memory.

Certainly sounds worthwhile, even as we hope for an even more revolutionized and competitive PSP2; though now, that’s not likely to appear until 2010 at the earliest.
