Welcome to the official thread about the (rumors on the...) PSP-3000.
Evidence #1:

Evidence #2:

Evidence #3:

Evidence #4:

Evidence #5:
http://www.qj.net/PSP-3000-series-image-found-on-Sony-website/pg/49/aid/116932
So, after putting all of this together, I think that:
Someday, Sony will release a new PSP model which will include the following:
*Some cosmetic changes
*New button with the PS logo on it, right next to volume buttons, to replace the old 'HOME' button.
*To the right of the volume buttons, there will be a built-in microphone.
*Sony will include the TA-088 inside those models, together with a different processor.
This will (try) to completely prevent users from installing cfw.
*The new models will include an internal hard drive
Sony's comment on the PSP-3000:
"No comment"

Picture of the new set of buttons:

In the attachments you can find a few more pics (AFAIK, the source which originally published them (on PSPCHINA.net) posted 6 pics, I only found 4. if some1 can find the rest i'd be glad.)
