Those two things may be sooner than you think. According to Sony Computer Entertainment America CEO Jack Tretton, the company has considered adding a hard drive to the PlayStation Portable and he also stated the possible demise of the UMD format. Both comments were spurred by the thriving PlayStation Network, which just recently added downloadable movies and television shows. A hard drive seems like a logical step moving forward, but one has to wonder what that'd do to the PSP's size, weight and most importantly, battery usage. Sony made the PSP slimmer, lighter and more power efficient last year, so this could wind up reversing all that.
