Will the real PSP Phone please stand up?

Sit back down, Sony. Despite fairly significant consumer demand  for a legitimate PSP Phone, you’ve failed to deliver PSP-branded handset aimed at mobile gamers the world over. There have been patents, rumors, concepts, and fakes circulating the internets, but you still can’t seem to get a PSP Phone to market. As such, you’ll just have to take a back seat, with your millions upon millions worth of R&D budgets, to a lowly PSP hacker with the skills to bring the PSP Phone to life.

Sony PSP gets hacked with HAIER touchscreen phone - PSP Phone

Said PSP hacker took his precious portable gaming console, the PSP, and mated it with a thin Haier touchscreen mobile phone. The PSP was modified to fit the thin touchscreen handset in its backside, where the UMD drive used to reside. With a bit of intestinal fortitude, steady hands guiding a soldering iron, and some creativity, this PSP enthusiasts has crafted the world’s first REAL PSP phone.

For now, the only way to get your hands on a PSP Phone is to actually make one for yourself. Or, you know, get a PSP-dwarfing iPhone and install a PlatStation emulator.

So, what have you got to say for yourself, Sony? Hanging your head in shame? We thought so.
