Any updates on the PSP Phone?

I read from a number of sources that Sony had confirmed development of a PSP Phone a good long time ago, but haven't heard anything of it since.

Have any of you heard about it? Do you think that Sony's actually going to follow through with production and, if so, do you think they can make it an iPhone competitor?

Personally I would've traded in my pathetic Windows Mobile phone a long time ago, except that I'm waiting for an announcement so I know what kind of time frame I'm looking at.

Remember the N-Gage? Yeah, that didn't work out too well.Lynx777

There was never even any confirmation. The closest we have to confirming it is this picture of a patent filled by Sony Ericsson.

^ That doesn't look too bad. I don't see how a PSP phone would work though. It would still play games, just not on UMD, right?

Isn't the 3000 and GO technically a phone? I mean sure, it only uses Skype for people with an internet connection. But I think that's the closest we're going to get of an actual PSP phone at the moment.

Though, who knows, right? Maybe Sony does have something in store for the future.
