Already out there on the marketplace. At least as far as I know.asdad123 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?
If Stringer is serious about building synergies, then by all means, a common unified platform shouldn't be out of the question.Lonely1 said:People who don't read NEogaf will not know this. "Hey, can I buy this new Killzone game for my new PSP?" "Sorry, It's only for the other new PSP"
Blu_LED said: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.
You think you'll have access to the standard Android store on this? I doubt it.PhoncipleBone said:Already out there on the marketplace. At least as far as I know.
Don't really understand why you wouldn't.Tobor said:You think you'll have access to the standard Android store on this? I doubt it.
Of course.Tobor said:You think you'll have access to the standard Android store on this? I doubt it.
The same reason you don't on the new Nook color that was announced today.Fredescu said:Don't really understand why you wouldn't.
What do you do if a string of games you want to play are exclusive to a certain phone's OS?GameSeeker said:Smart move by Sony. It is very clear that the dedicated gaming portable will be a shrinking percentage of the market moving forward, with smart phones becoming very capable gaming systems. Dedicated gaming portables will still be perfect for kids, but if you are an adult professional who already carries around a smart phone for work or family, you don't want to carry a second device.
I own a Nintendo DS and a Sony PSP and I used to carry them on all my business trips, but now I own a iPhone 3GS and so both are relegated to the dustbin. I won't buy either the 3DS or PSP2, because the convenience of carrying around an iPhone 4/5 (rather than 2 devices) is too great. Microsoft recognizes this, as they are betting their entire mobile gaming strategy around Windows Mobile 7. Nintendo recognizes that Apple is a top competitor in the mobile gaming space. And now Sony is branching into smart phone gaming, along with a PSP2.
Smartphones are here to stay as a mobile gaming platform.
Actually the GPU is quite potent, if qualcomm ever manage to produce non-piss-poor drivers for it.brain_stew said:Qualcomm GPU? Really? FFS.
You mean the Nook colour that isn't a phone and doesn't have 3G? I doubt they would limit the smartphone capabilities of the device so much that they would remove the market.Tobor said:The same reason you don't on the new Nook color that was announced today.
You hope they offer a non phone version like Apple does, or you don't play those games.Serenade said:What do you do if a string of games you want to play are exclusive to a certain phone's OS?
Do you buy that phone too?
x3sphere said:There's no chance this is the actual PSP2, or even a derivative of it. One reason why: running Android would give Sony essentially zero control on the security side of things. Piracy would be rampant.
Which is the GPU?blu said:Actually the GPU is quite potent, if qualcomm ever manage to produce non-piss-poor drivers for it.
The difference here being that Microsoft are putting WP7 and XBL on numberous handsets; Sony at the moment are just on this one. If Sony could make PlayStation the gaming brand for Android, and have all future Android handsets conform to certain specifications like WP7 does, then Sony could be in a very strong position in the handheld arena, as Android is clearly going to win out.GameSeeker said:Microsoft recognizes this, as they are betting their entire mobile gaming strategy around Windows Mobile 7.

metareferential said:What if it has a dual-boot OS?
Like, dedicated for gaming, and android for the rest.
And of course the user won't be able to choose, it's just automatic. And the android part cannot access all hardware features.
Isn't this how Linux and ps3 OS coexisted in first place?
Correct me if I'm horribly wrong.
Then, I am wrong in thinking tthat they can't compete atm with the SGX series?blu said:One from the Adreno2xx series, formerly known as ATI YamatoDX/z4xx
Their in-house benchmark runs on their in-house drivers ; )brain_stew said:Even in their very own inhouse benchmark it can't beat out an SGX535, and it can barely match an SGX 530 in more general gaming benchmarks. They've had long enough to develop decent drivers for this architecture, I've seen nothing to indicate they ever will or that they would make enough of a difference anyway. Any Playstation branded product should have SGX 540 level performance at the very least.
Yes, you are.Lonely1 said:Then, I am wrong in thinking tthat they can't compete atm with the SGX series?

Let's wait and see what they announce, then. Who knows what the heck Sony is up to anymore.Fredescu said:You mean the Nook colour that isn't a phone and doesn't have 3G? I doubt they would limit the smartphone capabilities of the device so much that they would remove the market.
KaYotiX said:Lol, basically a psp go as a phone.
DMPrince said:you know it's a playstation product when the text overlap.
Then you'll end up with multiple devices anyway.Tobor said:You hope they offer a non phone version like Apple does, or you don't play those games.
But this is the phone that's been through time! If you fix the clock, then it's like it never happened!Y2Kev said:we need a clock fix
As I said, the drivers will make or break this thing (as it has to live in a full-blown mobile OS environment), but that does not mean they (SE, qualcomm) could not get it right this time around.brain_stew said:If its the same as the G2 (as indicated) then it'll be an Adreno 205. Its a huge stepup from the standard Adreno 200 but no where near enough for a gaming focused product that has to put up with a large abstraction layer.
Same as it ever was.Serenade said:Then you'll end up with multiple devices anyway.
blu said:Their in-hourse benchmark runs on their in-hourse drivers ; )
Yes, you are.
