Sony Ericsson Playstation Phone

A PlayStation phone… Ah, Finally - A Playstation Portable (PSP)-cum-Phone! The device includes a rotating screen for video playback and camera operation. Of course, there will be a camera built-in. Everything a Phone should have is in there, basically.

But then, what’s missing? Well if they want to be an iPhone killer, sadly, a touch screen isn’t there. As lame as it sounds, “touch screen” is the trend in the year 2007 - not just “Touch Screen”, but rather, “Multi-Touch Screens”.

iPhone wasn’t the first, but soon, you’ll see more and more consumer electronics, everything from phones to mp3 players to gaming systems to coffee tables to refrigerators, have touch screens. The Nintendo Dual Screen (DS) is already on the bandwagon, will we see a touch screen enabled PSP in the future too? It might be to early to tell, sad to say.

For now, all we have to wonder is about the questions that were left unanswered. Are there going to be UMD slots? Is the Screen Size going to stay the same? Will there be Firmware compatibility problems? What about Homebrew? What is it going to be called - PSPhone, Playstation Phone or PSP-Phone or Sony Ericsson PSP? We’ll see about that…
