**WARNING** If you happen to be one of the few satisified X10 customer who are happy with your device and wouldn't change a thing, you may want to stop reading now.
For the rest of us it is really time to start getting excited; not about the X10. Unless of course you are stuck in one of those 3 year Rogers contracts. But for Gingerbread!
Xmas 2010 is looking bright, very bright.
Gingerbread 3.0 is expected to be released in time for the season of giving. Possibly as early as three weeks from now. So hopefully each of us will have a little extra budget to pick out the gifts that we will be giving our favorite person for Xmas; ouselves So the question for us X10 users is would you trade your X10 in for this?
Strong rumers are starting to spread about what these 3.0 devices will offer under the hood:
Things like:
2ghz, 1280x760 resolution that will put iphone to shame, minimum 4" displays, 1020p hd, no third party UI, micro sdXc with a minimum 64gb, webM with VP8 video codec, and much more...
It is possible the first two out might be the new SE psp2 slider, and the Samsung Galaxy s2.The new devices still wont cook your breakfast, but they will do just about everything else.
Maybe they will look like one of the devices below.

You might want to get your X10 on ebay now!
That's cool...
This is an X10 sub forum though so this thread doesn't belong here..
MOD : can you please move this to the general Android section?
Thanks

Yeah these guys don't like it when you rub salt in the wound, att just got the x10, for some this whole "future" technology is witchcraft.
Nice. How about pre-ordering this beauty and putting it on ebay immediately, just because next summer new quad core 3GHz HD 3D HTC device comes loaded with Android 3.5?
last month's rumor
have a read at this,
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/ht...012855625_sony_boss_on_move_vs_kinect_ps.html
Does this talk about the PlayStation brand signal more products coming soon -- maybe a new mobile device?
"No new mobile launches this year."
Will you be extending the brand to other company's hardware that runs PlayStation games?
"Our strategy is to maintain the PlayStation brand on Sony devices and provide experiences that are exclusive and proprietary."

would be nice if they do make an SE PSP phone, seeing how they want to be the leading company for android smartphones but seeing how things are, I doubt we'll be seeing anything this year, probably next year
and yes, this thread doesnt belong here, speak of new phones should be at android section
HA next month... the only thing SE will be doing next month... or any month after that.. will be finding a way to delay whatever's next on their schedule
So thats why MT is disabled! So that we buy it for gaming Snes games rule with MT. Even better with hardware controler But than again I'm not a real mobile-gamer.

ARM announced that 1.2 GHz processors will be out early 2011 and 1.5 GHz will come late 2011, So whose gonna make 2 GHz before this Xmas?
Duh, SE is going to use the new Core i7s and a GeForce graphics card!
I won't buy a slider phone, they don't feel solid to me at all. Let's hope that they make a touch only version, just like what they did with X10 mini and mini pro and also Vivaz and Vivaz pro ..
Pretty sure there would be more buzz if gingerbread was around the corner. I don't think there would be that much demand for a psp phone. Sure its cool but how many people need a phone that plays console-like games?
It may happen, but I don't think it will be a great success. The psp wasn't a great success to begin with.

I would have thought Google would time the announcement of Gingerbread to compete with the launch of WP7... let's see what happens
And psp I think was a pretty big success...
according to wiki the console is "the most successful non-Nintendo handheld game system ever sold"
Actually, LOL nvm what I said above
PSP is the highest selling console, week in and week out in Japan, for the past two years.
If that's not "succesful" I don't know what is.

no, SE's motivating us into buying their opponents next device.
If you think that SE is alone in doing something like this, you're the most naive person on earth.
Just look at HTC and the Desire. A few months after release, they re-release it with a better screen, then a month after that, announce a new phone with everything people wanted from the first model.
Look at Nintendo... they just keep releasing the same system with a different config every few years.
It's called business.
It seems SE will launch a new PS Certified phone, the successor of Xperia Play.
Phone sizes keep creeping up, to the point where I worry using a 10.1-inch tablet will soon become the norm. If rumors are correct, Sony Ericsson's thinking big with their first glasses-free 3D phone—a possible PlayStation phone, perhaps?
Word on the street is Sony Ericsson wants a slice of the 3D pie that HTC and LG have both already cut, however negative the reviews may've been for the EVO 3D and Thrill 4G. Supposedly this phone they're working on with a 4.7-inch screen has a mega resolution of 1280 x 720, which in my eyes would make it perfectly placed for a follow-up PlayStation gaming phone to the Xperia Play.

Just a thought maybe this is the nexus prime?! 720p display check, huge ass screen for a phone check. I'm sure this will use dual core so thats another check. Make's sense for this to have ice cream sandwhich since it has that big ass screen. Nexus prime doesnt use any buttons, so 4.7 isnt that bad when you can make room since no buttons.
I can see why they would release it early. The new nexus comes out in november
Can this really be the new nexus prime? What do you guys think

LOL, your comparing a mid range android phone that plays mobile games to a state of the art dedicated handheld that will make the Play look like a Sega Game Gear?
Okay then lol......
Vita will have Uncharted, Resistance, Call Of Duty, Mod Nation Racers, Little Big Planet, Wipeout, PSN etc from day one and have graphics nearing the 360 and ps3 on a handheld.
I'm currently looking to pre order my Vita, the Play will do me until the Vita releases, i'll then get rid and have a "normal android or ios phone" and a dedicated gaming device (Vita) as the two don't mix too well at all in one device as seen with the Play lol.
And many people agree judging by the terrible sales of the Play and the poor reviews from across the board.......
Don't see what everyone is complaining about.
fk 3d phones and why do people need dual core. Do you often find yourself using 100% processing all the time.
3D has to be the biggest gimmicks out there at the moment and not to mention it's lack of clarity.
The problem i find here is that most people are whining about a phone that has been out less than 6 months and for some regions on 1 month.
For most regions it came on 2.3.3 and an update for 2.3.4 is out in September not to mention the recent software update that has already made the phone better in some features.
People here obviously lack patience and if you are constantly looking at what is coming out next then you will always be disappointed with any of your purchases.
Here's an idea... if you don't buy anything ever you will never be disappointed.
You made your bed now sleep in it or trade in your phone or something.
I love my play and am perfectly satisfied at the time between updates. If you like your play you will tell people about it rather than complaining about it and turning of people from buying it which then leads to companies not supporting it due to the low sales.

I agree whole heartedly! Love my play, only real issue is devs not making decent enough games for it - bit of a chicken egg scenario, devs wont make games as not enough ppl have bought the phone, ppl wont buy as not enough devs making decent games for it...
Don't matter tho, FPSE and the xoid family gives you all you need
Back on topic - I would love there to be more ps certified devices, and cross manufacturer, I want a dual screen device, with the second screen displaying a game pad or a keyboard at all times depending what I am doing!
i hate touch screen controls so until there are more phones with gamepads PS certified phones don't really interest me unless they are the next gen Xperia Plays.
pretty much all SE devices from now on will be PlayStation certified.
Sony announced a partnership with HTC to continue making PS certified handsets. Also PS Suite is getting renamed to PS Mobile.

It's just sad to see a company this lost, they don't even know how to stand up on their own, and they have never knew.
And this time I bet that they are going to fail even more with the PS-certification-idea and the concept of a smart-phone with gaming performance.
Perhaps we will maybe see the same shell of the Xperia Play but with the other equipment that the Sony-engineers had with the HDMI-output or MHL-capable USB, but it depends on how lost Sony feel I believe.
And one thing I know for sure is that, even if it stands HTC on the device, I won't buy it and let Sony make a profit out of me again, hope they just don't spread their dirt to HTC.
And may I ask for the source so I can read some more around the news perhaps?
Thanks in advance.

I don't see it happening. They released the phone+gamepad and it didn't go so well. It doesn't seem cost effective anymore to add a gamepad which we know has issues with ICS. HTC will probably keep the handset thin and lightweight using on-screen controls.

I highly doubt Sony will allow HTC to create a phone with a dedicated game pad. I believe they will want to keep that idea in house, the playstation certification is just allowing ps store and ps pocket for their new devices, similar to the Xperia s
Not that it matters, everything announced from last years e3 concerning phones turned out to be vapourware
I have never cared for HTC or its sense UI. I realize there are probably more fans of HTC's sense UI then any other UI overlay. That aside I would love it if every manufacturer made at least 1 phone a year with stock vanilla android. And a for HTC with the Play mobile. I dont see them making a gamepad phone anytime soon. Remember HTC announce some months ago that people preferred thin phones over phones with big batteries. Personally I like the slight chubbiness of the PLAY, yeah its thicker then most phones but then with the gamepad I think its just right. So I really do not see a gamepad+phone from HTC if they are sticking to the "thin is in" routine.
What will happen to our beloved Xperia Play ?

THIS gamepad has issues with ICS, and the original programming and setup of the phone. Doesn't mean it can't be done with a new pad designed for ICS from the ground up.

Sony has already resigned it to the dustbin. In hindsight, it was foolish to believe that Sony could make a device which was equally good at gaming and being a smartphone.
I'm going to keep the PLAY as a decent handheld emulator and buy a phone which sole purpose is to be a great smartphone (HTC One X?).

At around 1:44 in that clip you can hear how he says "and we are going to leave that feature", so don't dream to much about something more like this.
But then I see more why they change their name from PS suite to PS Mobile so that it will fit in even more into their new thinking, and as a positive effect to see them deliver this PS pocket for every brand is that they don't have to develop everything on their own.
And you can practically say that they are giving away their own trademark (Playstation) for free (with a cost for the certification of course) and throw it like a bone at the community so they maybe get some development for free(?)
And get their trademark even more respectable, and perhaps you will see more real game-pads in the future, but not from Sony themselves perhaps, at least as I somehow manage to turn the facts around xP
And (the last and ) if it someday comes out an HTC with a real physical game-pad, PS certificate and real potential hardware added to the receipt, then I wouldn't doubt to get it since HTC seems to be more aware of how they wanna delight their customers with development and updates, so maybe that could be Sonys rescue in the long race, to let every other manufacturer have a taste of the Playstation-trademark in their devices

*its lead not leave
Saw this the other day but just now decided to share it, I am sure many people have already seen this but in case there are some that have not..
Nyko and Nvidia have announced 2 new gamepads for the Tegra 3 devices, perhaps eventually these will be made available to all android devices. Personally I have the GameGripper on my last two android phones before coming to the Xperia PLAY. I would hate to have to drag around a game controller for my phone when the Xperia PLAY has it built into the device.... this would be a possiblity as a worst case scenario, still hoping that a Xperia PLAY 2 will come out... but in the event there really will not be a 2, these masy just work, I will give these props for having what looks like two nobs for the movement/viewing like on a xbox/ps3 controller.

Yeah, saw that part too. I have never been a fan of HTC. All their phones look the same to me. If an xperia play 2 were to be released by HTC and it had gamepads and good specs I would strongly consider it... but it must have either stock vanilla android or some serious specs to push out the performance it would need for games with Sense. Anyway.... just my thoughts...
It seems the playstation certification has nothing to do with physical gamepad as the One series will be certified...
It's just about Sony and HTC exchanging some dollar bills...
well... atleast the analog thumbs are better
What do they expect us to do with a controller like this? How can we use it with a phone? I mean..we've had ways to use controllers on tablets/phones for a while. Am I going to have to prop it up to use it? Kind of defeats the purpose. They need a mount of some sort.
well if its new it will probably be quad core like the One X and if games are made specifically for it they could use all the 4 cores, but im with you, unless it has the gamepad built in im not really interested although i love Sony Xperia too much to even bother considering another make.
but Xperia are lagging in the smartphone market just bringing out a duel core when HTC just bring out a quad core its a smart move by Playstation to use there hardware, money and resources although i would love a Play2 its just never going to happen i think

Supposedly there is a spring like holder that pops up above the controller where your phone sits in place. And I believe the controller runs off of bluetooth.... I'll have to find the article. It gave more details then the one above, I just couldnt find where I read it...
Saw a comment somewhere that said that although the rumours for a Xperia play 2 were snubbed, its quite possible that the Playstation mobile would be for a series of phones touchbased and that if you wanted the king of Playstation mobile it would be a gamepad based gaming phone.... I dont know about that but if you really thought about it, it could be a great idea.
Make the Playstation mobile for a series of phones across the board from different manufacturers which would increase the devices visibility around the world, then add in addition a specific true gaming device that would share the same but with a gamepad.
Wonder........hmm........ if this were true it would at least provide Sony with the visibility and would allow more $$$ to flow into their pocket...

They won't make a Play 2 because the current Play was pretty much a failure......It's as simple as that.
You want proof?
Ask Nokia how things went for them when the N-Gage failed. Even putting the games on the N-Series was a disaster.
It's in Sonys best interest not to repeat Nokias mistake as after the N-Gage/N-Series, Nokia has pretty much fallen off of the face of the Earth

The current Play failed... but the N-gage was a disaster of epic proportions compared to it. The Play was a rousing success in comparison.
They could theoretically launch a new Play that is better specced and not have the problems they had with this. The main problem with the Play is the "Geeks" saw right through the specifications and wrote the phone off immediately. If you can't sell the crowd thats gonna be showing it off to their friends and that people trust their opinions, you won't be selling any of them. All the gadget blogs ragged on it no matter how well it ran due to the slow spec as well. Theres a large crowd that doesn't see beyond cnet.com and gizmodo.com .
Thats who needs to be sold on it.
If I have to drain my battery with a BT connection, care about managing the charge for two devices and deal with the pair/connect nonsense... then it's just as bad as living in the touch screen gaming ghetto.
I see these controller peripherals becoming yet another iControlPad/Gametel in the sense that it'll be completely goddamned useless outside of emulators... never anywhere close to being compatible with over 300 games like Xperia Play is.
Xperia Play til the day it dies!
Agreed. Could not have said it better.

There will probably never be an Xperia Play 2. Will there be a true Playstation Phone? Maybe, or maybe Sony will simply integrate calling features into the Vita. It would be too much competition with the Vita for them to release a powerful, Playstation Certified PSPhone anytime soon. Let's just be honest. Perhaps 10+ years from now there will be some next-gen mobile gaming device from Sony, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere in sight right now. It's just not a wise business decision at the moment.
i dont know about everyone but I've always been an HTC fan, their XDA community has always been great and updated and I wouldn't look back for once if HTC releases a new phone with gamepad which of course they cannot because of Sony.
And besides I have bought an iPad last week, gaming on it is surprisingly very good with all the Gameloft releases. Dont have to wait for months for android version of the same game. I can play the new Asphalt 7 and the Amazing Spider-Man before it's android release.
As for phones One X it is.
I'm not an ICS fan but I'm not even getting proper selling price for Xperia Play now since its still running gingerbread.
This was from the E3 kiosk for the new gamepad. With video

Still though it's an external gamepad.
The Xperia Play has a built in one so no competition there

Thats pretty cool I may buy one for my Iconia. Good for if I'm on a business trip and I want to play a game on a TV in the Hotel. Not gonna shelp my PS3.
While these i5 MUCH and JXD devices may be a great handheld consoles, they are in no way an Xperia Play replacement. What makes Xperia Play cool and unique is that it looks like a slick, profesional phone you can use in the adult world without no one guessing it's also a great handheld console. This is the defining point and "an Xperia Play alternative" MUST have this feature. To anyone past high school it would look extremely stupid trying to have a public conversation holding these things.
So far, the Bladepad is the only legit replacement i've seen so far. The downside is you need to own an iPhone and I refuse to buy one. There is the small posibility they would release Bladepads for the most famous Android phones, so in a perfect scenareo I could buy a Galaxy 3 or 4 (whichever has better battery durability) and a Bladepad. But i've been waiting for ages and no news, so I guess I will need to buy a Xperia Play since for some reason no one is capitalizing on the slide-gamepad+phone thing. I only want to play old dos classics like Duke, Doom, and snes/gb emulations and thats it. The most hardware demanding game I like is the Carmageddon one, so I dont really need much extra power than what the Xperia Play has. It also has good battery life which is very important when gaming.
Yes I would love an Xperia Play 2 but im tired of waiting and it's just not happening, and no one wants to release a slide-gamepad+phone so there's no other option so I need to buy one asap to satisfy my gaming needs.
You guys think this is a legit Xperia Play new in box?

You're stating your opinion as fact. I do not care if you or anyone else thinks I'd look "stupid" using a JXD or i5 Much in public. I do not own either of those phones, I use Nexus devices, but those who do own those devices surely enjoy their phones.
You say that you don't care to play new games that are coming out, and there's nothing wrong with that, but most people do care about playing the latest games. The Xperia Play doesn't have the specs needed to enjoy many of the latest titles, and people are moving on because they care about gaming.

I agree. I own the Much I5 and enjoy it very much. yes it would be nice to hide the controls for convenience, but not because i think people judge me. 75% of the people that see me using it think that its awesome and want to know more about it and the other 25% don't care and go on with their own business. The Xperia Play is a gaming phone with physical controls this means anything can be its alternative as long as it have has those things.
PS: I can't wait for the release of the next Xperia Play but till then these alternatives will have to do.

Sony isn't going to make an Xperia Play 2, they can't even get people to buy the Vita.

Even if Sony doesn't make it i'm just talking about in general a major flagship company. Such as samsung, LG, Moterola, .....etc.
I wouldn't trade my xperia play for any phone.
It seems you're like me, playing mostly old games with emulator (tbh I think most android games are total crap except oldies remake).
The xperia play is just perfect for that, it doesn't need an upgrade, yet.
Maybe for the smartphone part, but it's just fine with it for the gaming part.
The day they release a PS2 emulator for android with more hardware requirement that'll be a different story though.

I have no words to describe how amazing that would be. Even right now thinking about it makes my heart pump.
Quick question to every one if they had a ps2 emulator that ran flawlessly right now, what would be you first game to play on it. For me it would be Jak and Daxter.
Sent from my MUCH i5 using xda app-developers app
to be honest ,
personally ... i have to , again , I HAVE to change mt phone and i wanna try samsung this time . i never wil back to sony for soooooooooooooooooo mant reason.

isn't this a bit cheaper.. even this is high for this phone nw.. but still.

I have to agree that there is no real alternative yet to Xperia Play with regards to the hidden keypad. But as a gaming phone, I guess the JXD and iMuch are close enough... gameplay wise. So it really falls onto the user if he wants to buy a device that's obviously aimed at gaming. I'm honestly torn about it since the phones are made and designed in China and may have suspect quality in terms of hardware and software. So I don't know, I'll probably wait for good custom roms or better support from the companies before actually buying one. I still use my Xperia Play as an MP3 player and a gaming device on the go but my Galaxy Note 10.1 is my current cellphone. Now if Nintendo made a 3DS that's also a cellphone, then my life would be so complete.
Like I said, the iMuch and JXD devices are great devices, but they aren't Xperia Play alternatives because for this, at least IMO they lack the defining feature of a perfectly stealth console in a phone. If I was in a business reunion and I got I a call and went like "excuse me, I have a call" and popped out a PSP into my ear and started talking people would think I must be ****ing kidding.
So having said that, can anyone tell me if the link I posted is a legit new Xperia Play? I dont want to buy the wrong one. Also, should i be expecting that price? It seems ovepriced to me.
Can't believe they're still selling Xperia Play and new.
Haven't Sony stopped producing it ?
