Ya know I know this is a big joke but I can see it in about 10 years. Know what I mean, the thought is there, someone is bound to make it. |

More rumblings regarding the PSP Phone. Plus, rumours of a frosty relationship between Sony and Ericsson.
Sony plots gaming phone with PlayStation branding
Sony is understood to be mooting the launch of a PlayStation-branded phone, calling into question its partnership with Swedish mobile company Ericsson.
It is thought the phone will incorporate elements of the PlayStation Portable (PSP).
It is understood the phone could hit the shelves in time for Christmas 2009.
Sony Ericsson currently uses Sony sub-brands Walkman and Cyber-Shot camera as key features of its phones.
Sources in Japan and Korea say Sony is working on converting the current PSP model into a phone. Analysts say it would be “relatively easy” to convert the current PSP as it already incorporates wi-fi.
Sony Ericsson launched its F305 gaming phone to a mixed reception last week. One analyst says it is “strange” that the model did not include the PlayStation branding.
Another industry source says the relationship between Sony and Sony Ericsson has become “frosty” and he adds that Sony has learned from its “strategic error” of giving its Walkman branding to Sony Ericsson.
An insider adds that internal conversations have already confirmed that Sony would “never give its PlayStation branding” to the Sony Ericsson joint venture.
Sony Ericsson was formed in 2001, and reported a 47% fall in profits for the first three months of the year. It is in fifth place in the handset market behind LG Electronics and Nokia, which is the market leader.
But Sony Ericsson global head of marketing James Marshall says the company is still in line to hit its 10% growth forecast for the global handset industry for 2008.
A spokesman from Sony Ericsson says the handset maker “never comments” on future product announcements. Sony PlayStation declined to comment.

Hurrayyy! There's finally a patent to speculate on. It seems that we're bound to see a PSP Phone after all. And a touchscreen one...

Yeah but why is it even in Microsoft Word?
It would be a PDF or even just a jpeg image, not a Word document. I doubt SE would even use Microsoft Word to make the specs list in the first place. They would use something more like Adobe InDesign.

But we also have the R-series and the S-series, being sub brands of the bigger Walkman and Cybershot brands. The future of the P-series is quite shady these days so it might as well be reserved for Playstation. Crosses fingers |

I was thinking the same thing. But with the recent rumour that Sony wants to make a PlayStation phone separate from Sony Ericsson (which is fairly believable), I really don't know what to think. Japan will probably get it first though.

There are sooo many problems with a ps phone. The size is one. Unless they invent some new age interface, the size of the P2P is just abt as small as it can get while maintaining screen size and durability. And i dont think a mainstream buyer would accept that bulk in his pocket.
Second problem is that its gotta have a touchscreen ala iphone. If it doesnt would people be ready to drop premo cheddar for it? |
