Sony-Sony Ericsson Playstation Smartphone???
Sony haven’t exactly been on a roll lately, but that could all be about to change. According to the WSJ, Sony are planning a new smartphone capable of playing downloaded PlayStation games together with a hybrid netbook/ereader/PSP to take on Apple’s iPad. Both devices will apparently work with a new online media platform that the company are tipped to launch in the US later in March 2010.
As they have before, Sony are partnering with Sony Ericsson on the design of the new smartphone, but according to “people familiar with the matter” are now taking a more active role. That, they say, is because of a growing realisation as to how central smartphones are becoming to the company’s overall strategy.
Meanwhile Sony are also looking at segment-spanning devices – like the iPad – according to CFO Nobuyuki Oneda. The company has confirmed that Senior Vice President Kunimasa Suzuki – who is responsible for Sony’s VAIO division and their Network Mobile Center, together with acting as deputy in the PlayStation and Network Products & Services divisions – is “leading product planning for new mobile devices”, though they unsurprisingly declined to outline what sort of projects may be involved.

Good stuff! It sounds like Sony has taken a fresh look at what Sony Ericsson can be capable of if it threw a bit more Sony clout behind it.
Although it sounds like it might be on the shelves for 2015 - I was rather hoping they had a PSPhone in oven already.

If the rumours of it being able to play only PS1 games are true, then that's a bit crap. PS1 games are 15 years old now, they need to at least make it support PSP games.

I might say something odd , but it is a fact
my old parents need a simple mobile which doesn't have complicated menu nor too many bouttons
would  create such thing for simple customers ?
my mom is using a SAMSUNG clamshell so she can simply answer the call by opening the flip
and my dad still use the NOKIA 1100 because you use the big button in mid to answer and close 
It's not odd, I had the same problem.
SE is easy to use, Big screen is good too.
old nokia is always good.
My dad(71) now has my old K750 and is very happy with it.
Good luck

There is at least one Walkman for se_love but its no W995 if thats what you were hoping for. I would welcome some Walkman editions of certain phones, but I expect nothing really high end. We can expect a Satio replacement around Summer since Satio messed up quite badly and the same goes for Aino, maybe this time with A2 full touch or something.
The PSPhone is something that has been thought about a long time ago but if it is serious now, Sony will take the lead. The PSP itself was sensational and for that reason, cannot be allowed to fudge this up. It would be much easier for Sony to do it all for themselves because they have their own style and methods. needs to settle itself financially before it starts thinking big. You have to remember that has a small portfolio and very few high ends that are still not even on the market. Sony has the budget and pedigree to make it a success. If do make the PSPhone, I wouldn't expect it anytime soon until they sort themselves out.
Slightly off topic, we still have not seen the laptop/netbook so could this also be cancelled? Twiggy would be a nice addition since I'm seeing a number of people with the W350. Pretty much every phone needs an update, has so many good non touch phones that they could simply update and make a good sale.
Sadly, no real news on anything. No leaks or hints either. |

Yeah about that, I am stuck without a PC, and I'm likely going to have to give the torch to someone. Just dunno know. But a walkman is a walkman, I'm not expecting freaking miracles, just something with a 5MP cam. |
