They've already missed the boat with this one, When the released the PSPgo, thats when they shoud've had a phone in there, Touchscreen for the phone functions, slide out gaming controls. It needent have been a revolutionary phone even, calls, texts, a crappy camera in the back, the PSP menu system is pretty good, perhaps an extra hardware button dedicated to going to straight to the phone menu.

Thats how I wouldve done it.

Let Sony do what Sony must do in order to preserve their customer base. Who says what they produce is going to compete directy with the iPhone? It might be a device that captures the hardcore gamer as they get to the age and income level where they are ready to purchase their first phone. Like a migration path similar to what an iPod Touch fan would progress through as they but their first iPhone.

I wish Sony well. They have no doubt lost their mojo over the years and could use a hit.

I have to say that I like this idea from Sony. Who can say that the PSP go is not a sleek looking device, and who can forget about the 6 billion people that live in China that love Sony as much as America loves Apple (pie). Throw the palm, or android on top of a slider phone with OLED touchscreen and it might be a winner. Not a smartphone killa but definetly a winner. My 2 cents.

@Matt B

That's the idea I had to. 16GB with a slider control...perfection. Correct everything with the gaming aspect that iPhone lacks (physical gaming buttons>touchscreen)

But I look forward to this...never will buy it, but look forward to it, LOL

“…so they’re just left mostly with the 12-25 male age group to sell this thong to….”

I LOLed to that one for a while!

Yeah, that “mock up” looks horrendous! The worst “mock up” I’ve ever seen!

This actually might be a good phone. Has anyone seen the new psp go? It hides all the controls with a slider. It actually looks a lot like an iPhone when closed. So maybe they could just add a couple phone buttons and a mic and speaker. And one addition that would make it extremely nice, a touch screen. It even has a wifi store where you buy all your games (kind of like the AppStore)

I've always been a fan of Sony, they make good products (usually) but I doubt this new phone would make me want to give up my iPhone. Unless they added some killer feature to it.

The issue I see with a PSP phone is that no self respecting businessman is going to carry around a psp. Then with gaming being a mostly male market, cuts out even more potential buyers, so they’re just left mostly with the 12-25 male age group to sell this thong to. It just too much of a niche market
