For a few months now, we’ve heard that a PSP Phone was in the works, thanks to the folks at Engadget. Thanks to swift detective work, picture proof of the gaming mobile device has surfaced.
The phone is a Sony Ericsson branded device, which appears to be running Android 2.1 Eclair (based on the unlock and volume buttons), although is said to be running Android 3.0 Gingerbread when released. On top you have a traditional traditional Android setup, with four standard menu buttons resting below a large touch screen. Down below, a slide out panel reveals the gaming setup.
A traditional D-pad on the left, with Sony’s standard four action buttons on the right. The center bar appears to respond to touch, likely serving as the phone’s analog option.
Engadget also claims to know a bit about what’s inside: 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 mobile processer, 1 GB ROM, 512 MB RAM.
Of course the greatest part of the new phone is that it runs Android, which presumably means you’ll have no problem adding emulators of your favorite retro games, with an incredible control setup.
