Sony Ericson is making efforts on a phone that is using the platform of Google’s Android. This phone is expected to be released this year. Now gaming and communication would be beautifully blended in the PlayStation phone from Sony. The CVG unveiled that a trademark is being developed for Sony device and it would be named ‘PlayView’. However, now there are more issues about the Sony cross held between a Captivate phone as well as a PSPGo. Few features of the new phone have been revealed. It would include side-slider gaming controls and the QWERTY keyboard would not be a part of it. The D-pad would also be there but it would lack small joystick. The device will boast a four-inch multi-touch screen, providing up to five hours and 35 minutes of 3D gaming time. The phone will have a PlayStation-style controller with the standard PlayStation buttons. Available games will include Sims 3, FIFA 10, Splinter Cell, Tekken, and, supposedly, Guitar Hero. This new device is expected to have a long touchpad in order to get the analog controls. Apart from that, it would also have the standard PSP buttons and the shoulder buttons.
The display would be quite large between 3.7 and 4.1 inches. WVGA would also be a part of it in order to promote better resolution. It is possible that there would be a 5 megapixel camera and a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU. At the initial stages, the phone would be available in black color with a highlight of silver while the gamepad area would be white or silver in color.
Michael Ephraim, the boss of Sony Australia, claimed that the PSP2 would be a smart phone. The device will probably be running on Gingerbread (Android 3.0) and Sony would be introducing a new section of the Android Market especially for the games.
