It’s Coming, Everyone ! : Sony Ericsson PSP Phone
Nowadays everything seems to be crammed into a mobile phone. It already can be a good digital camera, a mobile TV station, a music player or GPS receiver. One of the things missing here was a mobile gaming platform. But it’s coming too.
Sure, many have tried integrating mobile phone and mobile game console, including Nokia with its N-Gage and N-Gage QD. But, let’s be honest, who’s better positioned to create a perfect mobile gaming platform then Sony? It already has one – Sony PSP. It also makes some great mobile phones via joint venture with Swedish Ericsson.
Their recent US patent filing shows how Sony Ericsson will go about integrating these two gadgets:
The main question Sony Ericsson asked when designing PSP phone was – what is the main problem with using your phone for mobile games? And the answer was – gaming controls.The numeric keypad is just not good enough to control the action in games. Sony has already designed very good game controls on PSP. So now they just made a few keys on numeric keypad into a game controls and the problem was solved.
Nokia, watch out…Sony means business, and they’re out for your N-Gage.
