How Sony Ericsson PSP Could Look Like

In the Summer of 2007, rumors about a Sony Ericsson PSP mobile phone have appeared, allowing both Sony Ericsson and PlayStation fans to hope that, someday, a device that combines
the two brands' technologies could really exist. Since then, the PSP handset was confirmed, denied and almost confirmed again, so it has become a sort of a mobile myth. However, it is a general belief that the phone will exist sometime in the future, as officials from Sony Ericsson stated they seriously consider creating it.

Recently, new images of how Sony Ericsson PSP might be like appeared in the January issue of Stuff magazine in the UK, showing a device that looks almost real. Unfortunately it's not, being only a very well done Photoshop rendering. However, this imagined PSP phone could be very close to the real one that Sony Ericsson will work on (or maybe it's already working on it and keeps everything secret until the device is ready – I believe no one would be upset about this).

The Sony Ericsson PSP conceived by the Stuff magazine looks simply beautiful and has a sliding design, a wide screen and a large, simple keypad that would surely be easy to use. When closed, the phone only reveals its game control keys, that can probably have phone functionality too. This new PSP handset looks different from the original concept, which has more rounded shapes and doesn't come with a sliding design, but with a touchscreen that rotates to offer both a phone and a gaming mode.

Whether Sony Ericsson PSP will indeed exist is a fact that no one can be certain of. But, as I said, all the PlayStation and Sony Ericsson fans are waiting for an official confirmation of the device that should bring excellent gaming and phone capabilities.

Sony Ericsson W520i Concept: Touchscreen and Music

A new Sony Ericsson concept phone appeared these days, Sony Ericsson W520i, a handset that should integrate into the Walkman series if the Swedish-Japanese manufacturer will ever decide

to produce it. If not, we'll be left with just a concept, but at least it's a very nice one, as all the latest Sony Ericsson concepts are.
This new W520i handset, imagined by Muhammad-Oli of the Esato forums, lacks a full keypad, and instead offers a wide display with touchscreen interface that enables finger navigation and typing on a virtual keyboard, just like on Apple's iPhone, Samsung F490 and all the other touchscreen phones. Unlike the iPhone or Samsung F490 though, W520i offers some basic hardware keys, so navigating without using the touchscreen is also possible. Sony Ericsson W520i's screen dimensions were not "imagined" yet by its creator, but, by the way it looks in the picture, the display should be at least a 3 inches one, so if the phone is to be produced someday it will surely have a high pixel resolution.

The music features of Sony Ericsson W520i include the new Walkman 3.0 Touch Screen software, Bluetooth with A2DP, SensMe (creates playlists based on users' mood), Shake control and TrackID. Moreover, the phone has FM Radio with RDS and a new MP3 ring tone application that allows users to personalize and create their own ring tones. Four stereo speakers are integrated in the back of the phone to make the mobile audio experience complete.

The concept phone also packs a 2 Megapixel camera with LED flash, Auto focus, photo fix, image stabilizer and VGA video recording at 30 frames per second. Along with the Sony Cyber-shot interface, the above mentioned features make W520i's camera a great one, even though it only offers 2 Megapixels. Other specs of W520i reveal that it should be a quad-band GSM phone with EDGE, but no 3G.

As in the case of all concepts, Sony Ericsson W520i has little chances to become a real phone, but let's hope it will in the end, because it looks like a very nice device that shouldn't come with a high price.

Sony Ericsson W760 Walkman phone - Announced

[CES 2008] Sony announced the Sony Ericsson W760 Walkman phone that will be available sometime in Q2 2008 for approximately $99 after an operator rebate and subsidies. You cna pick from three colors then - Fancy Red, Rocky Silver and Intense Black. This tri-band HSDPA, quad-band EDGE slider handset comes with the following features :-

Shake Control

  • 2.2" display
  • Built-in motion sensor with accelerometer for tilt gaming
  • Integrated stereo speakers
  • 3.2 megapixel camera
  • Memory Stick Micro media slotShake control and built-in motion sensor? If my memory serves me correctly, Sony did chide the Wii about their "gimmicky" controls, and here they are playing catch-up by implementing such controls on their handset while trying to tout this feature as something new in the market. Where's the innovation, Sony?
