Oh lord, this is HUGE GLOBAL SUPER-NEWS. Tech blog Engadget claims a forthcoming, unannounced Sony Ericsson Android phone will carry both the Xperia AND PlayStation branding, offering an official PlayStation presence in mobile phone gaming for the first time.
The new Sony Ericsson Android phone will be totally custom hardware, in the form of a “landscape slider” in a similar layout to Sony’s PSP Go portable games machine, with an elongated laptop-style touchpad replacing the QWERTY keyboard and taking care of analogue gaming input.
This is a mock-up created by Engadget, which has just coloured in a PSP Go a little bit:
Engadget’s spy says the new phone runs on the Android 3.0 platform, which will include an all-new gaming section of the Android Market specifically created to carry games compatible with this new device and its custom controls. And it could launch in October of this year.
This news is all too exciting for this time of night, basically. Read the full report over at Engadget (and blame them if it turns out to be nonsense).
