Hard to believe this is the same company that created the Walkman
It’s just a bunch of Johnny Come Lately products in the mobile division of Sony these days. When they get ambitious, it’s a PSP Go, an attempt at following Nintendo’s lead of portable gaming hardware iterations, but strips away functionality for a higher price.

A strong gaming device that’s a phone would be great. The N-Gage was an epic failure and Apple’s gaining ground in the casual gaming/phone device, but without buttons, it’s hard to do much more than simple gameplay mechanics. It’ll be a nice niche device, if designed properly, one that may appeal to gamers looking for something that really fuses an iPhone with a PSP. I just can’t see them catching Apple at this point.
