I just saw this post on Gizmode; Sony have done a questionnaire asking the public if they're interested in features like "Bluetooth, integrated storage, GPS, TV tuning, better file connectivity with the PS3, a touchscreen, improved battery life and speedier load times". I just burst into laughter!

Oh Sony where do I begin; some NEW GAMES maybe for a start, then to grab our attention again, you need to start getting creative, don't just give us a revamp - come on, do an Apple or Palm, think out side the box and knock our socks off - you know you want to! I'll even give you a little help, A PSP Phone with: Quad band with 7.2 Mbps download data speeds, HD touch screen, downloadable games, movies and music, built in hard drive (min of 16GB, 32Gb would be better), memory card expansion slot, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, TV and radio tuner, Email, contacts, notes (usual smartphone stuff) and full sync with Google, Google maps, Google Earth, a good web fast browser, oh and one of your fantastic 5 Megapixel cybershot phone cameras with flash. This should get your R&D team started.

Come on Sony, start playing the game with us and we all may just love you again!


UPDATE:
Now now, play nicely Sony and try share your toys with your brothers.
Oh well I guess I'll have to kick that dream of a PSP Phone into touch then as Sony do not want to play the game with us or anyone else.

Crazy as it may seem, it appears Sony have refused to share the brand name of PlayStation with Sony Ericsson, who had been working on the PSP mobile phone idea and had presented it to the board late 2008. Mobile Today quotes sources saying "the refusal to sanction the brand on the handsets in December has prompted a fallout between Sony and the mobile phone joint venture."

Oh dear, the kids are in the playground again. Makes you wonder whether Sony are looking for an "out" from their joint venture with Ericsson doesn't it.
