Sony Ericsson Will not Build PSP Phone for Now
Stop us if you’ve heard this one before, but we have to break it to you that there isn’t going to be a PSP phone anytime soon.
Well-positioned sources are reporting that Sony has refused the Sony Ericsson mobile phone joint-venture permission to use the PSP badge on any new phone.
Specs not up to it
Whether that means Sony is itself planning to release a phone based on the smallest PlayStation or just that it isn’t mad about the idea of Sony Ericsson going to town on its intellectual property is, however, still a closed book.
An unnamed Sony Ericsson spokesperson merely said: “We feel at the moment the technical specs are not high enough to put such a prestigious brand on a phone.”
Note the “at the moment” part of that – let the guessing continue.
