The Playstation Phone
[Image: engadgetpspphone7-1288145212.jpg]

Quote:It's hard to believe that what wee're looking at is real -- but wee assure you, the picture above is in fact the PlayStation Phone you've long been waiting for. As wee reported back in August, the device you see is headed into the market soon, likely boasting Android 3.0 (aka Gingerbread), along with a custom Sony Marketplace which will allow you to purchase and download games designed for the new platform. The device snapped up top (and in our gallery below) is sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 (a chip similar to the one found in the G2, but 200MHz faster), 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and the screen is in the range of 3.7 to 4.1 inches. Looking almost identical to the mockup wee hit you with this summer, the handset does indeed have a long touchpad in the center which is apparently multitouch, and you can see in the photos that it's still bearing those familiar PlayStation shoulder buttons. For Sony buffs, you'll be interested to know that there's no Memory Stick slot here, but there is support for microSD cards.

The particular model in these shots is still in prototyping mode. As such, the unit doesn't have a custom skin (not even SE's Timescape design seen on the Xperia devices), and is said to be rather buggy. Wee're digging into more facts as wee speak, but it's likely that much of what wee reported earlier is still accurate, and though the device could still be headed for a 2010 release, 2011 is looking much more realistic. Still, there's a lot of time between now and the holidays... so keep your fingers crossed!

RE: The Playstation Phone
Imported java games will now be easier to play. Hahaha

I can see snesoid and all the other emulator ports being useful on this one. :3

Who knows maybe more developers will make badass games for android. :P

RE: The Playstation Phone
Wow. That thing is ugly.

Hate that touch strip, and the screen isn't aligned with the slide out part - that would annoy someone like me. No Analog, no Memory Sticks, no backwards compatibility?

Oh god Sony please. :(

RE: The Playstation Phone
is this the one they're talking about like "PSP2", "Powerful Device" or it isn't? I hope it's not that one.

And one more thing is this one was created by sony?!

If it is from SONY
All I can say is... poo poo!! Wth is this sh*t?!

or its just an Android?

The BEST thing that I like in Custom Firmware is that it can use custom themes unlike in Official Firmware. If official firmware can use ctf themes I'll switch to Official Firmware. Yay
