Not really news. Just speculation. But any coverage of our phone I think is worth mentioning.

It seems like a possibility considering the recent PlayStation event but I don't think it's likely. I think they'll just continue how they are now, Integrating PlayStation in their touchscreen phones

It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.
I agree. This is more for fun. I did add a comment under my name Jesse.

I saw that article too. Oddly enough, I also came across this one:
http://www.stuff.tv/news/phone/rumo...-gearing-up-to-launch-a-new-playstation-phone
So we're not the only ones thinking about this sort of thing. My thoughts on the matter is that we very well may see one, but I have a feeling it won't be until the whole Gaikai game streaming becomes a reality. Then it would make a lot of sense to have a phone that could connect to the service to play the back catalog. Or they might release something to help push PlayStation Mobile. However, for right now and despite how much I really want one, I don't think Sony will do it when they're still trying to get people interested in the Vita. It's just too bad that the Vita still feels unfinished and wanting to me.
OnLive was possible and worked very well on Play. Maybe Sony decide to give some love for their old customers, and even give us PS1/PS2/PSP emulation (via Gaikai of course), I'm not asking for PS3 or PSV games on old hardware like XPlay has .
I was watching the release of the ps4 and while they were talking about backwards compatibility it looked like a cosmic flow style ground. Isn't much but even without it I truly believe we will see a true play station phone.

I kinda wondered why it had two cameras, a 3G data connection, a microphone and so much more and wasn't a phone itself. Granted, how awkward it would've been awkward to hold the device up to your ear, but they invented Bluetooth for a reason. It's unfortunate they couldn't have made it work with the Android OS, or at the very least given the device a proper XMB UI. The new Bubble UI is too kid-like and doesn't look that great in the first place.
Today has been the conference of Sony in the Mobile World Congress here in Barcelona, and the past week was Sony's Playstation event.
No Plastation mobile phone has been shown in neither of the two shows, so there you have the plans of Sony of making a successor for the Xperia Play.

The Playstation Vita was going to be with a sliding pad like the Xperia Play or the PSP Go, but woth that design it had heating problems and Sony had to use the desing we all know for the console.
Sony's devices always seem to have heating problems

Near is a playstation phone coming soon!! Looks like it will be an android with "gingerbread" 3.0 1ghz..it will have a similar chip like the g2 exept of course a bit faster..this is where I found the article http://i.engadget.com/2010/10/26/the-playstation-phone/

Yeah, looks awesome, I would expect the first generation of it will need work, but I'm excited to see what will come out of it.
I saw that as well. Looks like the end of the ipod being number 1. I wonder what carrier it will come out for, and if it may be pushed back due to any problems with gingerbread if their are any.

That's the first thing I thought. I always thought Sony produced some good looking hardware (the exception being the prototype Batarang PS3). I hope this is either a very early prototype or fake.
Its psp go, and then someone decided to copy paste the android os to its screen and did you know that there was a lot of psphpne rumors and I've been hearing it since 2001 lol. XD
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
... That's not a pspgo with an android screen pasted over it. pspgo has a very different form factor.
Not saying it's real, but blanket statements based in nothing, annoy me.
to bad we already got nintendo/sega/playstation systems on our phones... why do we need this?
Rumors annoy me more, come to think of it it looks legit coz of the ericsson logo

Yes, after trying to resist, I caved and bought an iPad 2.
I simply needed it for a couple of essentials. Full iCal support and a couple of apps to use with pro-tools at work. One being V-control the other air display.
But I am keeping my vibrant.
I must say, that I find iOS definitely lacking in various areas.
Most notably no widgets. I prefer the Android app draw and personal window customization, and I really don't like the iPad contacts app.
Hey, I have an iPod, but I'm not ashamed. I like it for the battery life. I will always love my phone more though.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
No need to feel ashamed. They're great devices. I find that Android and iOS really go hand in hand and compliment each other very well.
They are good retail units, but little to no customization really. That and after costs............ too bad you couldn't wait until EE transformer by asus that is the one........ good price point and best of all worlds
Ipad 2 is the only device i would be willing to buy from Apple.

Apple is good for a couple things. Secure info, speed and memory when using large apps. Other than that they are money hungry fools who can't share their developement to make them better

If you try to game with it you will be sorry. Remember why you got a play in the first place.

It's a good trade. The Play is made for gaming junkies. I am one of them, and I actually traded in my Galaxy S, which betters this phone in certain areas. To each their own. I know I've played more games in the few weeks with the play than I did in the 9 months with my Galaxy S, so I'm happy.
About development... good things come to those who wait

The price difference is only about £50-£70 in the UK, I would jump at that, I'd trade my play for it!

I finished 2 games in 2 weeks bia 2 nova 2 and im midway with asphalt and rainbow 6 which has just come out so im a.game junkie and I like this phone....

you know what, definitely go for the IS.
i currently own both phones the IS & the play.
the IS is by far a more stable & enjoyable phone.
if the play actually lived up to its capabilities, it would have been good.
too many glitches & issues. starts to get irritating after a while
Just dont unlock your bootloader like that guy did and you wont have his problems. My play is trouble and issue free. Owned it since the day rogers released.

Yes, I would trade mine, simply because the play is quite bulky and the Evo takes 3d video and pictures.
Not a chance. Play meganoid on a touch screen and you'll see exactly why.
Smartphones have been trying to evolve into game systems, but couldn't before the Xperia PLAY because controls on touch screens suck for almost every genre.

OMG!! LOL. I can't help but wonder if that turns you to some kind of disable person?
No, but in 2 years when I'm able to upgrade for free again, and if the 3D is still around, and there's nothing better/cooler, and the phone is free, and if the mobile data plan hasn't gone through the roof, and I'm still employed, ummm... maybe.
But only if I could switch back to my Play if I didn't like it.
I'm into tech stuff have the HTC one X also have the TF101 which the kids use as well as me .They are 7 and 9 and was thinking of getting them a nexus 7 each for Xmas for movies,music,games and general web stuff.Would have no issues rooting them and putting custom roms on.Other than it being a very good tablet for the price I know little about the N7 anyone got kids using them everyday and how do they find them

Imo there's no reason to not get a child a tablet, it can be a tool for education and reading should you choose it to be. I got my sisters children rattling away on computers when they were still toddlers, I think that technology will be an important part of their lives, and I want them to embrace it early.
I might be a little worried about a child breaking the screen on the tablet though.
I see your point about books and bikes
I have kids zone on my TF101 and both use it for education,both love reading books,eldest uses the pc for home work and is a whizz on word and power point. They have bikes and get plenty of exercise and are.doing very well in school.I see this as a better option for movies music and stuff neither are or will be on facebook or Twitter until at least 14.it's more amedia device for them and web browsing for homework and things Like mosshi monsters

Me personally, and I'm not telling you what to do, computers are just taking over kids lives and they are not knowing how awesome it is to be outside like we all were when we were kids.
But movies are a blast to watch if you are camping with them. And who knows, books in school could all be headed towards PDF formats anyways.

Do it mate.
My 9 year old son got a tab as well and he uses it only if he's done playing outside with his friends. He is not that into gadget but still it's ok he have one and got something to use whenever he feels like. So it's still depends on the kids if they want to spend more or less time with the tab.
Tapatalked from my N7
Yes they would definitely love it if they also got a few games on it too hehe. You could get groove IP on it and also use it as a phone considering your in the US or CANADA region. There are any benefits to it more than just for entertainment. The ultimate decision of how your kids play with their toys is yours though.
Hmm isn't there a more kid friendly tablet that has the same exact specs as the N7 but has a SD card slot and outer wear. Also has root and gapps. Might be a better alternative.
