I'ts suprising, but, not so unexpected that Sony is basically dropping its support of UMD.
Now that flash memory is cheaper (4 GB for $50) and Solid State drives are slowly working their way down the foodchain from PC's to laptops to game systems, I expect to see the next generation of handhelds with no less than 20GB of Flash memory - no moving parts - and better battery life.
The next PSP should be SSD drive based and should feature primarily downloadable media.
