According to Sony Ericsson's senior vice president of Product and Application Planning, Rikko Sakaguchi, the company "is working on something"related to a PlayStation phone.

Although he claims that "the surprise must be kept for the future". Speaking at a media conference in Malmo, Sweden, as part of the company's upcoming 5th anniversary celebrations in October, Sakaguchi added that the objective was not to create a gaming device but one that integrates both the gaming and communication functions. source:cnet

games need to be cheap easily downloadable maybe £7 each at least 320 x 240 horizonal screen and very good battery life. maximum size no bigger than w900i no touch screen just games and phone + music and radio camera not essential but good to have if possible. w900i is good size all it would need is 2 buttons on the top like w550i.with some classic 2 player games over bluetooth. i would def buy one sony should employ me :)

They could make an upgraded PSP with good voice functions for controlling the phone part through bluetooth. And the phone would be gsm/3g.

Many internet report said the problem of PSP cannot do as well as DS is UMD format and a lot of limitation tht related to copyright....but the main problem still UMD...it is a unique format which mean hard to find... Sony have to rely on game co want to invest or it plus the game price tag.

If SE want to do something with more game power....how to put UMD into the phone? It will be too big for the phone...they must look into using MSD or even M2 as the media for game to be loaded or even promote hard on online game thru wifi and 3G

so in the end...this might be a better option than PSP

I guess tht is not possible

@Rav250:
Would you explain why it would lose money? How do you know it'll cost too much? I think even the playstation portable is reasonably priced for its capacity. & who are you to say the games arent worth it, maybe playstation games arent meant for moronic gays? And the DS has higher sales because its cheaper, but what does this have to do with the playstation phone huh? By then the DS will be outdated

i think i told boba a couple of months ago about this in a pm convo - its inevitable. it would be so easy for them to make old playstation 2 games playable on a mobile phone.

sony's customers have brought over 20 million PSP's worldwide since launch. It may not be as many as the DS but hardly a disaster. A Playstation phone would be good as the Playstation name means full multimedia now as well as great games. And as Microsoft are going to launch Xbox Live Anywhere which includes Windows smart phones then it's no different and will no doubt integrate with the PS3 and PSP.
