So would Sony position this like the iPhone then - with basic functions but doing certain things better than anyone else? I can't see Sony bringing out a PSP based C905 competitor. Is this why SE are avoiding Wifi in feature phones?
I think it's inevitable that mobile phones would significantly eat into MP3 player sales and that Sony can't lose by sharing branding because it gets the profits from both. Besides, one of thier latest MP3 players looks alot like a W910 and that can only be good for Sony.

Sony already built Mylo remember...add a sim slot/stage, and you have a workable multimedia gsm device(a lot smaller than PSP, to boot; 3.5", iPhone-size screen - coincedence??)...... 
And as GF already said, it needs to be special/a flagship device, so no half-baked branding, a la SE(yawn)......

If Sony make a PSP phone, I expect it will be more likely a small formfactor PSP with a phone built in, than a phone with PSP tacked on.
They will probably pay SE to develop the phone components and software.
The other question is will it have UMD device, or is it going to be a new format, and if so will they be sensible and use M2?
And how will you buy games for it?

Guys, i dont see a point in psp phone. But most probably, the next psp(psp2 or psp360 or whatever it will be called  ), will incorporate Cell phone functionality, if at all psp phone are supposed to come out.
Just my opinion.
Neways, if psp doesnt go with E, xbox portable's still there. |

Online probably, downloaded over a Wifi connection like Apple's App shop.

that's a possibility, but what then quality of hardware are we talking? For example a UMD disc holds up to 1.8GB, so imagine the data plan you'd need just to download ONE game
EDIT: oops, you said wifi!
Obviously PSP phone will be a much less powerful platform than the true psp. But by how much?
If the PSP phone is even 1/4 as powerful, then you'd still expect to need a couple of hundred megabytes per game (or atleast 50MB). So I would expect some sort of non-online purchase on media would be possible - and if so what media?
I wouldn't be surprised if Sony introduced a new format just for the PSP phone!

if it comes into production I hope it has a Touchscreen,
as it would great for gameplay to access games etc
lets hope they place the earpiece somewhere where it does look stupid, remember the N-Gage guys geez

The PSP/DS argument is to gamers what the SE/Nokia argument is to phone freaks

meh to ex-hardcore gamer/comp tehcie.......now somewhat(alot) into phones.
However, 1/4 of psp < F305
Heres how
PSP CPU ~333MHz while F305 = 220 mhz?
Display: 4.3 inch , F305 displays still greater than psp's (dont rem its size)
And soo on.
Well, as i say, Psp branded phone should have a phone function as less than the priority of secondary(Tertiary?) |
