Playstation That's also a Phone...- EZ ()

With I-phones slaughtering the Play Station Portables on the gaming market, Sony is rumored to meet Apple head on head in the phone market with a new product. The photo leaked (above from engadget), will be a hybrid between the popular Sony Ericsson with the PSP. The blog says that the device will be running a Google version of Android 3.0 with a special built in Sony Marketplace (to download games, movies, music, and apps). Masaru Kato, the Sony C.E.O, hinted something about it over an earning call. Sony refused to give more information on the matter. We should see that PSP is licensing to Sony Ericsson anytime now. It is a mystery who Sony is going to use as the carrier for their new devices yet to come. According to Nikkei, a trusted Japanese new source, Sony is indeed planning something with the PSP and Ericsson. There also have been rumors that Sony has set up a team to work on it. Rumors of this so called PSP phone first started in 2007. Then in 2009 it resurfaced. Now in 2010 it has resurfaced once again. Engadget, a gadget predicting site, said that there is potential that it’ll be around next year.  The exact date is unknown, since companies tend to like keeping secrets. It could be as early as November.  There is a high possibility it’ll come out around December, in order tap into the season shopping. There's rumors that it'll look similar to the PSP Go. The reception of this device is unknown since the PSP Go was expensive and misleading in terms of functions. But, it is believed that with the right price, this could be revolutionary. Perhaps this is the future of portable gaming consoles and phones? Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer.
