The Next Generation Portable, NGP, PSP2--whatever you want to call it--features a massive 5-inch OLED touch screen, a rear touch pad, two analog sticks, and two cameras.

The rear of the NGP features a touch-sensitive pad that players can use to control games. We're imagining even more functionality for the area that could come into play as well.
