You can't compare the iphone and PSP,in fact iphone is slimer than PSP slim. It will be very bulky if they combine PSP tech with phone tech.


Although,a PSP phone wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Japan loves handheld & mobile phone, so PSP phone = win win win

PSP itself is bulky but phone tech is actually not at all. Only question is if they can scale down PSP hardware for the phone, and actually I am pretty sure they can - as Slim is already slimmer than many SE phones like K series and P series.

I love my iPhone for multimedia features and for "homebrew" software, I doubt Sony will ever make it so simple and so well done BUT phone wise, iphone is $10 phone. Every K and W series phone that i saw kick iPhones ass in actual phone features. Shit everything kics iPhone's ass in phone features.

Looks nice if it was real, I'll stick to my Nokia though.

 

[lastendconductor]

So that's not real? bummer total.

 

[Roland]

I just love how the Triangle button could double as the Play button.

It's just an article of things they think could happen in 2008, including a PSP Aibo or something. Nothing at all to suggest anything will happen but their intuition and guesswork.

 

[McLovin]

It looks nice.. but I expect more from Sony.. why no touch screen? I don't like those number buttons :/

 

[Chris_C]

I generally refuse to buy cell phones, but I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Especially if there were lots of old school 2D platformers.

 

[Burai]

Props to the artist behind this mock-up. That's light years away from the sort of crap Stuff and T3 are putting out there.

 

[Totobeni]

look very sexy , and why not , Phone gaming is big now in japan , PSPhone that plays Mobile gaming and Sony's games will be better than Docomo cell phones

well , S-E K850 have Tilt motion , so if they make PSPphone then it should have Tilt as well .



at Official CES 2008 Sony has announced Sony Ericsson W760 first SE phone for games ( with slider handset and tile gaming controls )

so i think it's very possible to see PSphone from them soon

Parasite eve, FF before crisis, and MGS mobile to be ported to the PSP phone confirmed.

 

[Mac the KNife]

Oh, god. I can only guess how much that'd cost.

I want one though.

 

[Variable]

Scratched up mess day 1.

 

[Souldriver]

I think it's bound to happen (especially the next-gen sony handheld), but I'm a little scared that everything gaming related would get compromised. The buttons, the for factor, the UI, ...

Not sure though, the PSP already is more or less an "all-in-one" device, only the phone is absent.

 

[Rapping Granny]

If your gonna make a fan made PSP2, please add 2 analogues.

 

[kaching]

Not a bad mockup, but I think I'd prefer the mockup MassiveAttack posted earlier this week. Skip the keypad, go the iphone route and have touchscreen controls for all the basic phone features.

PSP Phone needs to happen sooner rather than later if only because it would force more of the game catalog to become downloadable.

 

[goku3000]

only one analog nub?

that was Fake PSPhone not za fake PSP2 :lol

i think this one is based on SE's patent filling... unlike the other one which was pure fantasy.

 

[Il Comodino]

Fake or real?

 

[beerbelly]

DAY 0 IF TRUE. SO SEXY.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

Seems like now probably isn't the best time to announce a PSP phone since the Xperia X1 is soon going to be on the market.

 

[kbear]

Even if fake, that looks great. The dual sliding design is the perfect way to trim down the size (nobody would buy a PSP-sized phone)

 

[krypt0nian]

Why can't people put the words MOCK UP in the thread titles so I don't have to wish harm on them?

Why?

 

[Mau ®]

Looks quite cool. Whenever Sony decides to go ahead with a PSPhone Ill be probably be there.

 

[kaching]

Unless the patent was for the physical design itself (rather than the basic concept of a PSP Phone), then the depicted configurations of devices in patents are typically just suggested mockups themselves. Guaranteed SE would have numerous designs in the running and no doubt a design like the one MA posted would be in the running as well.

I don't think anyone's announcing anything, this conversation is just speculative. But what would the Xperia have to do with it? Sony has a lot of overlapping device designs across their divisions.

 

[skybaby]

We have a fertile imagination, as you can see. Probability of becoming reality: 35%

That's what the article says.

i don't think it's based on that patent

^ here rotate screen , the one in this thread uses slider ( like the new S-E W760 ) ,so it's also jusr a pure mock up

 

[Acosta]

It´a great mock up, that mag have a great graphic artist. I would be really surprised it it don´t happen at some point.

Seriously, soo sexy, what a great job, now I feel bad is not real. I would replace my Iphone for that at any moment.

Oops, forgot exactly what the patent version looked like. All the more reason for SE to pay attention to these mockups.

 

[Tobor]

That's a horrible mock up in the OP. The shape buttons are on the thin piece of the slider and would be so awkward to hold properly.

And lol at the "this looks better than iPhone" comments. Not even in the same league.

it's not even official thing , anyway SE can make stuff that look better than iphone ya know , like SE's Xperia X1

 

[solid2snake]

well, got i bought today my black PSP Slim, so PSPhone -> Do Not Want

 

[Tobor]

/sony-ericsson-x1-1.jpg

I saw the thread for that in the OT. Most of us agreed it was pretty, but Windows Mobile = fail. After using an iPhone for 6 months, it's going to have to take a pretty insane design to get me to switch. Unlikely.

I know the OP was a mock up, that's why I said it was a horrible mock up.

This was actually made by HTC, to be branded under Sony Ericsson.

 

[Kosma]

Nothing really surprising if it ever comes, I was watching BBC before I went to work this morning and they where showing mobile phones that streamed 720p Movies to your HDTV without any hicups.

The future is now.

Yes, Watch-impress would totally post doctored photographs on their website for no reason.

I know they're not photoshops, and they're obviously tech demos, but I want to know what event were these taken from.

these games run on NTT docomos Foma 905i and 705i ( very powerfull japanese phones most on Squre's mobile games run on these phones )

your photo from here ( it was Docomo big announcement for the two new phones with tonz of new games and stuff )

^SH905i (yeah right that DMC )

 

[RevenantKioku]

I see a lot of cellphones now in that style (the whole slide up thing) but I can't stand it and wouldn't buy one like that. Flip or no sale. "/

ehm, produced by HTC, not designed, lol. Apple doesnt have single factory for iPhone production.

 

[Choke on the Magic]

Wow...day one for me if this comes to the U.S.

 

[GodfatherX]

this is fake

and even then not as sleek as sony's new wm6 phone Xperia

[Nuclear Muffin]

WTF?! I had no idea there was a DMC Mobile game! (Why does it look so much worse than all the other FOMA games though?)

Is that SMB a port of the DS one? (Looks identical in terms of graphics at least!)

 

[Chittagong]

And here is one from Nokia (except that this one and the game is real)

 

[Fusebox]

That Sony one is an awesome idea, there's already some ace games out for phones but I've never found a phone with a decent enough d-pad or buttons so that you can actually play games without mashing all the other buttons. Case in point, that Nokia and all the other phones in this thread.

edit - maybe not so fake after all?

[Zaraki_Kenpachi]

I think it would be a cool concept for things like parasite eve and stuff if they came out over here to play them on that but other than that I don't like it. Especially the sliding bothways thing. I would be afraid to break it in half when pressing the x,o,square, and triangle buttons :/
