Fans of the game should already know what this is. A few months ago, the Swedish-Japanese Sony Ericsson consortium, has been planning the option to enter fully into the world of hybrid terminals, designed to bring together services expected of a smart phone with the potential of a true gaming platform. PlayStation Phone is the inevitable name with which the idea was baptized.
Along these lines, however, recently it became known that instead of having the interface of the PlayStation devices of this generation (based on the XMB or Xross Media Bar menu, which can also be found on Blu-Ray / DVD or high-end televisions from the Japanese firm), Sony Ericsson would have decided to release its new device with Android 3.0 Gingerbread operating system.
As well. The last news that has been had in this soap opera is that from Sony, apparently, they would be looking for video game programmers who are well managed in development on Android.
Of course, this data could be just as valid to point in the direction of the PlayStation Phone as it is for Sony Ericsson's intentions to boost its market share among mobiles with Google's platform for mobiles, offering as one of the differentiating values the presence of games and exclusive applications for their terminals.
Despite everything, the messages contradict each other. Peter Dile, one of the heads of Sony's entertainment division (the manager of the PlayStation line) was in charge a few days ago of coming out of the speculation around the rumored hybrid device.
Dile himself pointed out that from Sony PlayStation they are not working on any device similar to what is being speculated, nor is its development part of the company's plans. That is why it is surprising that they have just requested "urgently", and precisely from the PlayStation area, the incorporation of developers who work on Android.
