Rumor: Playstation Phone Finally On The Way
Today, the Wall Street Journal reported that “people familiar with the matter” said that we’re going to see a Sony smartphone this year that doubles as a PSP, or PlayStation Portable, later this year.
I know what you’re thinking – didn’t they just launch another PSP? Well, they did, the PSP Go, which was launched not-too-long ago and we all wondered why we needed. Turns out, we didn’t, as if this rumor is true, it’ll be immediately replaced!
The second half of the rumor? The Wall Street Journal follows up by saying they’re going to release a device that “blurs distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PlayStation Portable, or PSP.” Sounds to me like Sony’s releasing some kind of tablet that’ll be immediately clobbered by the iPad! Great idea, Sony!
Why do other companies even bother? Remember all those supposed “iPod Killers” that were going to launch? Even when they were better, cheaper devices, people still chose the iPod for the street cred of it all. People are gonna wise up and stop caring about that now? Not likely.
