It looks as if Namco Bandai's The Idolm@ster is getting itself a handheld version. Korean website VideogamerX has some scans showing off a PSP iteration of the game.
Called The Idolm@ster SP, this game is an idol-raising simulation, allowing users to train a young girl to become an idol, and then engage in rhythm games to show off the said idol's skills.
According to the information available , there also appears to be a new mail checking system , where players can check an idol's email and possibly respond to various emails sent to the idol during the course of the game.
Thanks to a description from Kotaku (external link), it is also known that there will actually be three games released under the The Idolm@ster SP banner, with each game having three controllable idols for you to play with.
