The PSP2's UI is called LiveArea (Bye,bye XCMB), which has a bunch of vertically navigable home screens and built-in social networking (presumably through the PlayStation Network - PSN). You can easily jump between games and the LiveArea without losing your progress and comment on your buddies' great feats of mobile gaming. It is nice to see that mobile gaming is now taking the leap to integrating social networking.

Update: PSP2 (NGP) Has more power than the average mid range Laptop!

It has now been announced that the CPU powering the PSP2 (NGP) is an ARM Cortex A9 Quad Core CPU!
