I'd imagine a PSPhone would get more support than the X10 with regards to firmware updates. This could be a huge deal for Sony and i doubt they will slip up on that. That being said the two guys in Japan are going to have their work cut out, and they have it hard enough with just PS3 updates.

All I want for Christmas is a PSP Phone.

Take the FW updates away from the incompetent shitfucks in Japan and hand them over to SCEE or SCEA or.. well, pretty much anyone that isn't SCEJ. Problem solved.
A dedicated PSP marketplace? Aren't PSP games over 2GB? Surely they don't expect us to download over a 3G network :lol
And expecting someone to have Wi-fi or sync with a computer in-order to buy games is foolish as well. UMD is out obviously. I wonder if they have a new solid state game medium of some sort.

Sorry but do not want. This thing is just really bland and I certainly hope this isnt PSP2.

so this pretty much says alot about sony/ericsson they can't build software, and from this prototype phone they can't build hardware that thing is as ugly as the GO

Ummm... so is this the PSP2 then?
Not sure if I like the idea of a phone and full-featured gaming device.

Sony sells comic books on the PSP.
Sony sells books on its line of e-readers (including some comics, I think).
Does it make sense that you can't read one on the other? And that there is no unified store?
Sony has never been good about cooperating from one division to another. This is just another example. At most it will play PS1 games (given those specs), so not exactly competing...

There is a touch pad for dual analog controls.
Btw clearly this is not the PSP2, it's a Sony Ericsson product.
It will be interesting to see what kind of games it will play. Probably there will be a Psone emulator but I don't know if they want/expect developers to develop original games for this platform or if its lineup will be mde of a streamlined selection of PSP and PSP 2 games.

The PSP Go is ugly? I know it's a piece of shit but hardware looking, it's great.Technosteve said:

Well the touchpad in the center could well serve this purpose.
And looking at the specs it should be more powerful than current psp's, right?
As far as design goes, if this is what the psp 2 might look like, I really like it.
The 3ds doesn't feature touchscreen for the main display, so this will put Sony ahead, meaning you could have phone apps and games running with the device closed, and standard games using the controller below.
I really, really like it. I have an iPhone 3gs, but I hate playing with that. This thing it's basically psp+iphone. Do want.

This is a stupid SE project that has the PlayStation name thrown onto it, and the PSP2 is an actual SCE project. Basically if you like PlayStation, ignore this.NeoUltima said:

same reason people jumped at the iphone, and hell even the ipad 3g? contracts don't seem to get in the way of people getting the latest gadget these days. especially considering the companies making them will try to fuck you with insane overhead if you DON'T get it with a contract. (ie: the PSPhone could cost $200 to make, and they tell you to pay $300 with contract or $500 by itself)
what sucks about this is that i already have a phone. just got a galaxy s. if this thing is real, and is coming late next year, i could either upgrade (if it's even comparable to current phones out by then) or hope that there's a wifi-only model or something- or maybe even a cheap data-only plan, so i could use my current phone as a phone, and use the PSPhone on it's own and only for data. ughhh, i dunno. i love the darn out of my vibrant.
i agree with those saying it IS the PSP2 though. still in prototype form, specs well above the PSP (although not enough for me to consider a full on PSP2), and it has the items described in the leaks...... SANS THE TRACKPAD BEING ON THE BACK OF THE DEVICE....?

I suspect PSPmini games will play a major role in this phone.
expy said:
Does android have a good homebrew community (sort of like cydia/jailbreak). Itd be great to get emulators on there with the buttons!
Also, why is the back covered up in those pictures? Could it possible have that rear touch pad?
And that thing in the middle of the dpad and buttons sortof seems like some times of "dual analog thing" Maybe touch pad analogs or something?

Uh, probably not. Those are just regular PSP games, albeit somewhat limited in a few areas. But I don't think this has enough horses to emulate the PSP (the PS3 barely does).
Besides, that's a whopping 100 or so games, a good portion of which probably have Android versions.
