Well, this certainly could make the PSP2 a hell of a lot more portable: Sony has filed a patent for foldable screen technology.
Basically, the patent describes electronic devices and displays that are flexible enough to be rolled up or folded when not in use, but become rigid when a small electric current is passed through them. The application lists wide-ranging uses for the technology, and suggests it could be applied to cell phones, PDAs, PCs, remote controls, clocks, glasses, and even game systems.
For me, pocketability is extremely important in a portable game device. That's why I don't particularly care for my PSP or DS non-Lite, but still give my SP and Micro as much love as possible. The sooner this tech hits, the better.
