The Next Generation Portable also features built-in GPS, Wi-Fi and even 3G data capability. Why the focus on mobile connectivity? Sony plans to be implementing a service named LiveArea, which will actively seek out all other NGP consoles in your area. You will be able to see what they're playing, chat with them, compare ranks and of course go head-to-head.
On the topic of the display, it's OLED, and it's 960x544. That's four times the resolution of the current PSP, and Epic Games' Tim Sweeney has claimed the unit's multi-core GPU is also "roughly four times as powerful as any portable we've previously seen," somewhat backing up Sony's claims about rivaling the PS3.

And if you're still gagging for more, here's Sony's pre-NGP release video:

A 32" is being released by LG next year, for US $9000 (which has a far lower ppi than this, it's just the size that bumps the price up).
With the processing beef this thing has behind it... my mind boggles at the possibilities. I dare say the launch titles will be little compared to what we see towards the end of its life span as developers truly optimise titles for its resolution vs display. Needless to say, there's absolutely no need for anti-aliasing, and that horse power can be spent elsewhere.
