Sony once again denies PSP phoneDVDBack23 @ Nov 25, 2007 23:34 | 18 comments
A Sony Europe spokesperson is quoted in the magazine as saying the following; “We can categorically state that we are not currently working with Sony Ericsson on any form of PlayStation phone."
“We feel that [SCE co-chief operating officer] Jim Ryan has been misquoted [in saying the idea is 'definitely plausible']."
“We hold constant dialogue with Sony partners – Sony Pictures, the hardware team and Sony Ericsson – but there are no collaborations happening between us on a PSP or PlayStation phone."
"That’s totally untrue – and goes for now and the foreseeable future.”
The rumors have been floating around for months after patents surfaced earlier this year for a "PlayStation themed gaming-enabled mobile phone." Sony Ericsson games boss Peter Ahnegard further fueled the rumors when he stated that consumers would "see a PSP phone before Christmas".

Comment by: spydah (Nov 27, 2007 04:06) I think it would be nice if they put the proper planning together. I think it would sell well besides any or all the bias opinions about Sony. I'd get one. |
Comment by: chaos_zzz (Nov 27, 2007 19:01) First the psp uses umd wich makes it big then the processos has to able to minimize the whole game to answer a call or send a message like a windows based system, i dun known i think it would be awesome but it woudl cost at least a 999.99$ plus tax :)

Comment by: findme (Nov 27, 2007 20:32) what i think they should do is keep the design of the psp and add phone features to it. make it like the sidekick 3. |

Comment by: Gradical (Nov 28, 2007 02:56) i dont know why everyone says it would be too expensive, psp as i see it , has the cappability to do it, look at all the homebrew there is, i remember seeing once someone adapting a gps system to a psp, how hard would it be to code something for it being capable of making fonecalls? is 300mhz not enough to power a phone? |

Comment by: escalante (Nov 29, 2007 00:59) It would be pretty awesome if they actually released an addon (like the camera and GPS) that holds like your sim or something and just added the feature to the XMB. Sounds a bit crazy and unlikely, but that's what I want..lol
