Digging through a new PSP manual, 0okm has uncovered a few smaller details about the updated system (aside from what Jack Tretton already told us in a Kotaku exclusive interview).

– Its TA-085 PCB motherboard is homebrew-conducive.
– USB can be used to charge the battery.
– The battery has been shrunk from 1800mAh to 1200mAh, but retains hour rating.
– Old PSP remote is not compatible.
– WLAN switch has been relocated to top.
– TV-out cable is not included.
I would have traded more battery life for slimmer and lighter, so the new battery with an equal runtime rating is a bit of a disappointment. [0okm]
