PSP2 to be as Powerful as PS3
Thursday, January 13, 2011 at 10:58AM GamerZitch According to a report from trade site MCV Sony has been telling "Licensees" that the PSP2 will be as powerful as the PS3.
These are big claims that fit in line with Sony's strategy for a new (and still unannounced) handheld device which is "It is specifically requesting richer, more in-depth content to differentiate its device from app-centric Apple and Android devices." The Playstation Phone comes to mind.
The report also mentions that while downloads will play a large role in the handhelds game library, retail games will stay around to help ensure that the handheld has longevity, so no more PSP go situation. There are also talks of some type of phone being included, much like the PSP's current ability to use Skype.
The first announcement of the PSP2 is expected to be January 27th with having subsequent details revealed at GDC and E3.
Now keep in mind, the PSP2 probably won't actually be as powerful as the PS3, but on the smaller screen it's very possible that it could seem like it. We'll be sure to keep you up to date on further announcements.

If this somehow magically turns out to be true I'll be one happy SOB.
