Rumour Mill: Sony to go it alone, for the PSP phone…

Pocket-lint is reporting that Sony is considering to go it alone for production of the oft-rumoured “PSP Phone”. Previously we have seen patents, mock-ups, fakes, and suchlike – but no phone!
Apparently the relationship between Sony and Sony-Ericsson has become somewhat frosty, over what sony considers the “strategic error” of giving SE it’s “Walkman” brand name.
Additionally, another comment is that the PSP Phone will actually just be a PSP with different/additional radio chips inside it, to allow it to make calls too – I presume via a headset, since holding a PSP up to your head would look like you are trying to make a phonecall on a shoe!
Well, rumours abound, but it ain’t over until a certain lady sings…..

“suchlike” is not a word – just use “such” it’s far less annoying
Have to say that it’s probally for the best if they leave Ericcson out with PSP phone.
Why do people comment on the spelling and “suchlike” rather then the post?
Anyways… I agree that Sony shouldn’t have givin up the Walkman name to Ericcson so they are definitly making a good decision to leave them out of the PSP name. I think it will be a hit when it comes out but I hope they do change up the design to be more “phone” friendly because I agree, talking through a PSP would look alittle gaudy. Just isn’t a device I would want to hold up to my face in its current state.
@ Snidely: Thanks for your really useful input
@ Raidium: yep, agreed – they gonna need to shrink that brick or provide a very funky bluetooth headset with it!
