I would love to see an even slimmer PS3! I am planning on buying another PS3 at the very end of this generation anyway, so that if sometime in the distant future, my current PS3 Slim was to die and I wanted to play my PS3 collection, I wouldn't have to worry. 
I hope a new model of PS3 at the end of this generation doesn't mean that Sony are planning to ditch backwards compatibilty on the PS4. That would be bad.

Well you better plan for the bad then..
BC has allready been planned to be ditched as the Planned CPU and GPU type leaks are not going to allow easy emulation due to NOT being IBM PPC CPU family. Instead they all have more in common with the lap top CPUs you have been using.
As for shrinking the PS3, its the BD drive, heat sink, Power supply and HDD that take up the room.
( PS2 slim has no HDD and external Power supply.)
Going over to an external Power supply again like laptops. just means making room some were else for the power block.
I like how the mock up pic is Wider than current versions due to having Extra USB ports that sony allready removed from current versions they should have got a different picture.

Complete speculation at this time and that goes for when Sony announces it too, The only time you can believe any sort of Specifications hype, is when you have the new console in your hands. Until then, just myth.
Documents have appeared that appear to show a PlayStation 3 Super Slim model.
Documents filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), spotted by Japanese website Pocket News, reveal Sony Computer Entertainment's plan to release a new PS3 model, labelled the 4000 series.
We're currently on the 3000 series. Specifically, the CECH-4001x model is mentioned, and this could relate to a slimmer PS3, which Eurogamer has heard will be announced at German game show Gamescom next month.
