The PlayStation Phone Is a Button Masher’s Dream
What’s so hot about this phone, then? For one, Sony Ericsson has almost done away with its horrendous UI which so-clogged its X10 last year. It’s still lurking on there, but that’s no bad thing.

Sony chose Android, should Nintendo take iOS?
For now, the dust has settled following Sony’s back-to-back announcements, starting with the NGP and now this past weekend’s Sony Ericsson Xperia Play unveiling.

It’s been a few months since we’ve heard any PSP 2 rumours (the PlayStation Phone seems to have stolen all of the portable PlayStation limelight) but, if an MCV report proves accurate we could be just a couple of weeks away from an official announcement. The report states that a Tokyo press event has been [...]
PSP2 Hits Next Fall With Dual Analog Sticks, Touch Pad and Bigger Screen
Around the time of the Tokyo Game Show, Sony held a private meeting at its offices in Tokyo’s Aoyama. The purpose was to show off the PSP2.
