In normal mode of operations the device should be a bulky block you just hold in your hands.
Well, like I originally stated, to be able to push out many different features in such a compact device you need to make some compromises. And with this concept I tried to capture what I believe is the pinnacle between compromise and features.

By choosing the N97 tilt slide design, it is possible to make the device much smaller since it is basically 2-stories (screen level and button level). But why the "tilt" slide? Well it allows for more finger room so the shoulder/camera buttons are more accesible. It is as good as the original PSP's shoulder buttons but not as obstructive as the PSP-Go's.

And why the dimensions I've listed? Well it allows for a large screen (just over 5"s!!!) and larger spaced buttons (like for gaming) and it allows for all the features to be able to be able to be squeezed in ... ie I am not just giving a random mock-up, I'm keeping it realistic.
