RUMOUR: Sony still hasn’t given up, PSPhone incoming
Engadget claims to have heard from reliable sources that Sony Ericsson is teaming up with Google to produce a “PSP Go-like smartphone.”
The new device supposedly features a slider that would contain something close to the current PSP Go’s button layout, with the analog nub replaced by a touch pad. Also rumoured to be included are Google’s Android 3.0 OS and system specs that allow for PS1/PSP level graphics. The rumour also contains the claim that God of War and Little Big Planet games are being shown off for the system/phone, and that it will be PlayStation branded.
Although the idea of Sony turning the PSP line into smartphones isn’t surprising, it does seem odd that the company would half-ass the effort so greatly. The rumour doesn’t make it seem like this new PSP would have much to do with existing PSP games or infrastructure. And where’s the dual analog?
