Playstation Phone coming?

The Wall Street Journal has claimed that Sony may be working on a smart phone that can play Playstation games.

The publication also says that Sony is also working on a new iPad-like device that "blurs the distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PlayStation Portable."

This may be part of an elaborate plan to topple Apple and their place at the topic of the handheld media market, which includes the iPhone and will soon include the iPad. Sony are also set to launch an iTunes-like download service in the US next month.

I doubt that a PSP (PlayStationPhone) will come out...in the off-chance that it does...

IT WILL FAIL!!!

Seriously though...It will only succeed if it is a PSP 2 (PlayStationPortable 2) that doubles as a phone.

The psp was great till they made the pspgo.. and the fact that umd prices were too much when they first came out...
i wish there were some way of playing my actual ps3 games on the psp.. as i take my psp with me on holidays etc... they need some way to have the ps3 games on there... then they'd possibly sell more psps...

Why have a phone at all, all it will do is increase the price:

PSP2 estimate price of about $399

PSP2 with phone and 24 month contract about $1187

...because, society still thinks (not as much (as the 90's and to a certain extent the 00's) now though) gaming (especially handhelds/portables) consoles are geeky and somewhat antisocially cool or "uncool"...and adding a phone (smart phone features...as well as MID, UMPC, netbook, and eReader features) to it 'automatically' makes it, "cool"...again?

So your saying that the DSI the DS and the PSP are all geeky and un-cool?, and that the psp and ds were not successful?

Another thing people should consider is Battery Life...because pumping out medium to high-end video game graphics and then using the phone, music player, video, 3G features and web, etc. can take a toll on the battery.

These is - it's called "Remote Play" and it works great!


I'm just coming out of contract and towards the end of the year (my current phone's only brand new), I'll be looking to switch to something a little more "media-friendly" than my BlackBerry Bold 9000.

At this stage I'm reluctantly looking at the Apple iPhone 3GS (mostly because of the 32GB built-in), but it sure would be nice to get a Sony or Sony Ericsson product that compares to it (we have DOZENS of phones in our house, and virtually all of them are Sony Ericsson)...
