Further elaborating on this statement, "But if we'd simply release the hardware, there wouldn't have been much for everyone to enjoy," he said in an interview with Japanese site GameBusiness (linked above).
To quote: "We needed to prepare the right environment for it first - things like the transferral of content with the PS3 and PSN, and PC software to manage content like music and movies such as Media Go."
Of course, they had to wait first until digital content is at a competitive playing field with physical media, and now the time is right.
The PSP Go will simultaneously launch in the US and Europe on October 1, while Japan will get it a month later.

My opinion is that until we find a definitive hack we should keep our studies private since most probably there would be a fix.

The survey asks how many times have you visited Home since it's public BETA launch last year. Questions also include general awareness of Home and what it offers including the Spaces, Mall, Theater and so on.
Game launching was also a subject touched upon, with how frequent you do it or if you even know about it.
To quote: Sony is asking questions, and you are giving answers. What Sony wants to know:
"How appealing would each of the following potential features be if a new public space was created that was dedicated to the PlayStation brand?"
That's the main question, and Sony then breaks things down into smaller, bit-sized polling that covers everything from PlayStation dev video interviews to trailers of upcoming games to the history of PlayStation.
A week ago PlayStation Cloud details surfaced, which Sony was quick to debunk only to have PSW Magazine July '09 Issue reveal more concrete PlayStation Cloud details.
