Perhaps wisely, Sony have chosen not to follow down Nokia's path of integrating a mobile phone into the mix. Fundamentally, mobile phones and media players lie at opposite ends of the portable device spectrum in terms of design and ergonomics, and some of the criticism of the design of Nokia's N-Gage is entirely on the money - it's very hard to make a good game console that is also a good phone, so you generally end up with a product that is only average in both departments.
However, would anyone be surprised if the generation of Sony Ericsson phones which appears around the same time as the PSP supports a range of link-up functionality with the device? An end-to-end chain of connectivity, from Sony's online media servers to the media centre in your living room to the media player in your bag to the phone in your pocket - it's a wet dream for technologists, media companies and consumers alike, and Sony may be closer to realising it than anyone imagines.
this sounds like a dream come true!

I have to disagree holmes - Sony will crack - look at mobile phones - they are so much more now - cameras, video recorders & game machines.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a portable PS1 combined with a phone running on mini disc's or sd cards?? That would be cool.
It would also need: Video streaming, Java support, bluetooth chat & atleast 1gb of memory + expansion slot for more - If I worked for ericsson I'd design it now.
Or we just leave them seperate & buy a gameboy SP or get retro & get an Atari Lynx or Game Gear

Well the new Sony "PSP" is meant to be more powerful than the PS1 and it runs on UMD (Universal Media Disc) with holds about 1.7GB IIRC  |

i really dunno. to put a video game (e.g. - playstation or whatever) in a phone is too lemon for me. why not just buy a game boy instead.  |
