Woah there! It's just a concept, not the real thing.
TechDigest is reporting that Sony has given a ‘no’ to Sony Ericsson using it’s ‘PlayStation’ brand in it’s mobile devices. If we are to believe what has been written then Sony wasn’t happy with the UX (user experience) that would be had on mobile devices right now.
Shame really, since SE could well benefit from a shot in the arm sales-wise, if their recent figures are anything to go by. I for one would LOVE to see a PSP phone, and have some proper game-funk going on in down-time like when I am on the bus or train. Think, not so long ago people had separate music players to phones – now both are possible on many mobile devices. It won’t be long before someone sticks a menacing GFX unit in a mobile phone and starts playing PS2 standard games on it (or maybe even better….)

Ben Robinson
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
