The future of the PlayStation Portable is imminent, and we've asked our Twitter followers to chime in on what they think the next iteration of Sony's handheld system will have in store.

According to a recent report, the announcement for the next PlayStation Portable is imminent, and the system will be powerful. While it's nice to know a barrage of into is due, we want a barrage of into now. That's why we asked our 24,000-plus Twitter followers the following question:

Just as we hoped, we received a laundry list of new features. Here's the best of them:

While many features were requested, a need for great games seemed to trump any items that can be culled from a spec sheet. Here are the fans hoping for better software this time around:

While the original PlayStation Portable saw a measure of success, the next iteration of Sony's system will have to fire on more cylinders to gain market share this time around. With Nintendo jumping into the booming 3D market and Apple's phone dominance set to grow, Sony needs to make a major move, and quickly. Hopefully we'll know more about this move, and soon.
