@djin...
ah i see. but do the software buttons disappear if hardware buttons exist? i'd really hate for a portion of my screen to be taken up when it's unnecessary. i haven't really read too much on its use since it's not really an issue at the moment..
anyway... can't wait til CES .. hope we get blown away with what's offered.

Hopefully they integrate the Android PS Store into PSN, then. I can't imagine any reasons for them to not do that after the buyout finishes.
Posted by goldenface
It's great that the Play has seen adoption by the operators in the all important North American market and if it does really well over the holiday season then Sony will no doubt be looking to provide a device for the original Play adopters to upgrade to, hopefully sometime before then end of 2012
CES might be a the usual big stage for Sony but I'm not really expecting too much, I wouldn't be surprised if only Nozomi landed and they waffled on about their 'four screen' strategy.
Posted by Platia1
Even if they only talked about what it would mean and the features we can expect, then I'd be happy to hear them talk.
More products would obviously be nice though.

Very nice looking device and pretty slim too. Can't wait to see the white version.
Posted by Ricky D
The two images are inconsistent with each other or they're two different devices.
The first doesn't have the silver edging and the second doesn't have a line of white text above the 'XPERIA' at the bottom.
From that second image if you took away the light bar t looks suspiciously like the piePhone4 if you bought one fake on the market in China.
It doesn't look bad though. Just a little bit cheap.
I'm still not keen on the touch spots + button images on the notification bar. The icons for the buttons should be where the spots are and should be backlit touch sensitive affairs.
..and what the hell is that big white arrow in the first image?!

this is prototype version
all photos for LT26i

real or fake.. looks nice. i'd want it in white though
wonder why the spy pics aren't showing the white version which we've already seen....

The bottom one looks like a pre production prototype to me with the upper one looking a bit more polished.

It`s not necessary - when you compare drawings with blurycam shots... I was disgusted with ST18 leak shots, but now I`m in love with my Ray.. you know
devices look better in flesh than on the pics, espacially spy ones.

LT22 Nypon concept
I guess the guy that design it was inspired by the ST-Ericsson ICS demo videos... but if Nypon get even close to this I`ll by it, cause I need bigger screen in smaller device with no space losed for other things but screen.
Posted by Bonovox
That device the shot from the side view looks like a c902 with a large screen!!!!! GSM Arena says no SD card slot

In that case we saw demo video of ST-Ericsson chip U8500 (1GHz dual-core SoC) running ICS, and many tought it`s actual
device.

I totally agree with you king-james. This device is so beautiful! And if the materials are good and the device's weight is around 130 to 180 gramms it will be mine!

4.7inch is way too much and 2500 battery sounds doubtful
8mp and Quadcore Possible ..
I guess we will actually see Xperia Play-2 during Fall 2012 not sooner..

Everything sounds doubtful to me. Why would Sony make a QuadCore Play2 just a few months after the QuadCore Vita is out.
Does not sound logical at all.

It is very smart to use tegra in play2, not for the hardware or anything but the for the backing by Nvidia, they will promote it heavily and pay developers and stuff like that.
Posted by adsada
@DACHA, I agree also it seems that (unfortunately)
is going for dualcore only in 2012, so I don't think they'd have the Play2 on quad and the rest on dual...
Posted by jack00
this is not sony ericsson
sony knows that a playstation phone would sell incredible good
the vita itself is a good product, but it simply lags the phone part
if i were sony, i would be afraid of vitas long term sails
so making a playstation smartphone(with vita specs) is inevitable
Posted by Ricky D
I agree with jack00. A Vita with phone capabilities is a good move. Vita is about £250 and is the good option for those don't mind carrying a separate handset around with them in favour of gaming time not using communication time's battery. Play 2 is the option for those who want the extra space in their pockets and don't mind spending £500+ on a combination device.
Sony didn't authorize SE to do this before because they didn't want to share the profits of the inevitably popular and proper gaming hybrid device with Ericsson and to arm their own device. With Sony owning both devices in full it doesn't matter which device the consumer buys, as long as the consumer buys Sony.

I don`t agree, Sony never use that strategie of cannibalizing their own sales, even if there is slite chance of that.

this is not about cannibalizing, this is about surviving
people need to stop to think in these old paradigms, things change constantly
the playstation brand is strong - yes - but just look at nintendo, they are having hard time with their 3DS
kids love the ipad, its their number one christmas wish this year (at least in austria)
the mobile gaming market has changed and sony didn't react to these changes(nintendo did in the home sector, but not in the mobile market)
the vita actually should have been from start - a smartphone with hardcore gaming capabilities
ipod touch and iphone also co exist, but the more expensive brother sells big times more
don't understand me wrong, i am not say that sony should copy apple
but they should do it better then apple
sony has a tremendous expertise in gaming, putting all this know how in a gaming smartphone (incl all the famous developer studios) would blow apple (in the gaming segment)

i think i have to agree too. think about having everything in one device. i don have to be walking around with a psp/ds nor a tab. its always good for a change. being static gets boring over time. the day when i found the Droid64.apk was the last day i used my gba. now that the fps has been unlocked i can play more emulators. the one thing that bother me is the price of this awesome device. sorry it wont be se.
MAYBE I CAN PEEL OF A SONY ERICSSON LOGO AND PASTE OVER THE SONY LOGO
