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 to hit the 10% (currently 7%-ish) adoption rate among PS5 owners that would make it a bone fide hit gadget.   As the improvement in connectivity and streaming tech, proven by many gamers enjoying their PS5 or PlayStation Plus streamed content from around the world, an updated Portal Pro could be on the cards.  Possibly featuring a 120Hz display and an OLED screen in honour of the mighty Vita, that'd be cool. Assuming the 120HZ streaming is solid, an OLED would be the more welcome addition, especially with the latest generation of technology offering QD-OLED (Quantum Dot-OLED), WOLED (White-OLED) and other buzzy titles for smarter display.  Whatever ...

Sony Tablet Confirmed: Could Come With PlayStation Suite

I'd rather keep this site pure and focused on NGP and Xperia Play, but its worth mentioning that Sony is planning its own tablet to compete against the iPad, Androids and PlayBooks of this world. The Android 3.0 tablet should hit in the summer and will likely make use of some of the features in Sony's other product.

That would include Qriocity, the music service, PlayStation Suite offering PSone and other games. If it does ship with a Tegra 2 processor then it might even manage PS2 games, although that's probably Tegra 4 territory. What it won't have is the XMB interface which is rapidly falling out of favour as a user experience.

With all these tablets swamping the market, it will have to have something very special to stand out against the iPad 2, we'll see soon.
