Yep, that image below is the very first leaked image of the PSP2. Although it's not the final version, and merely a prototype, it gives you a good idea as to what it's going to look like when the final product hits the market.
It's also worth noting, my contact at Sony's Research and Development claims that the PSP name is going to be dropped completely from the device and instead naming it the PlayView.
Now, before you cry blasphemy, Sony did indeed trademark the name PlayView prior to E3 2010. I've been told the reasoning behind the name PlayView, is because the device doubles as a E-Reader.
Last but not least, I've been told that the prototype is currently running Android Froyo 2.2, but is said to launch with Honeycomb. The next Android update is said to be called Gingerbread, so this leads me to believe that since Honeycomb wont be released for quite some time, that the PSP2 aka PlayView is still quite a ways off from being released.
Our contact is going to send along additional information later, as well as a video of the device running both Android, and a scheduled launch title called God of War: Atlus' Burden.

This picture looks fake, but the virtual joystic are interesting... but I wonder if it would work as good as a real one... and no button at all? virtual x, square, circle, triangle, to play the game? It would be Ironic that they promote motion controls with button as opposed to xbox no button solution and "improve" the psp with no button at all...

My concern with this control scheme is that not only is not as accurate as good ol' analog controls but since there's no tactile feedback you find yourself moving your thumbs away from the spot they're supposed to be in.

Also, and perhaps more importantly, sweat does affect your ability to slide your thumbs. As anyone who's played Nazi Zombies on the iPhone knows, once your thumbs start sweating they can't slide as easily. And when you have enemies pouring in this pretty much means you're done. It's incredibly frustrating.

My 1st thought too . I think I like the other "leaked prototype" better (Slide-out phone style).

This was already proven to be fake.
