Engadget says they’ve got the specs on the Portable Playstation:
Well, well, well. Even though Sony s going to be later to the game than the Nintendo DS (which is out next month), at least they finally released some official specs.
Get ready for some numbers: it s going to be a chubby little 9.5 ounces and 6.7 x 2.9 x 0.9-inches in dimension, (smaller than we expected), with a 4.3-inch 16:9 screen (480 x 272 resolution, 16 million colors), 333MHz CPU, 32MB RAM, 4MB DRAM, 802.11b, USB 2.0, Memory Stick PRO Duo, IrDA, IR remote, headphone and mic ports, and yes, it will play MP3s (though we don t know quite how) and, of course, ATRAC3 files. Good show, then. Hurry up and release it, right?
