Possible new PlayStation Portal model pays homage to the Vita's OLED

While much of the focus on PlayStation's next steps is the PS6 and PS6 Portable , the two-year old PlayStation Portal could be getting a revamp according to those pesky internet rumours.  Update : Hints at pricing are around £/$250-299 for the new model, but everything remains deeply in rumours territory. Presumably the goal is to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners, something that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   The recent February  PlayStation State of Play  saw no announcement.

Do you think Sony has been watching HP's misfortunes in the tablet market and revising its strategy appropriately, or do you think that the Android devices will be more popular, yet able to stand out in that crowded market due to their styling, PlayStation compatibility and general Sony-ness.

Will the tablets find a profitable niche in the market as Sony fans rush out to buy them? Or, are they doomed to suffer the same fate as HP's glossy TouchPad, being too expensive and lacking enough unique features to give them the edge.
