PSPhone (no speculation)!

Article

Just read the article and post your thoughts.

NOTE: no posts like "oh no this thread again" or something like that. Also no smart ass posts.

EDIT: apparently this thread has already been made by DaAlienMAN. mine has another article. So just vote poll.

looks like 1 last ditch desperate attempt to continue to utilize/revitalize sonys psp 6 year old hardware.

no way. I dont want a phone that plays games. I like my psp2000 just fine. i like my little folding phone that fits in my front pocket just fine. I dont get why people spend so much on fancy "smart phones." I think it's actually stupid to pay so much $$$ for something that has a primary purpose of calling and texting (which my $20 phone does just fine). oh and i would rather not pay $30/month EXTRA to have a data plan either. using wifi to download for free on my psp is just fine.

I kinda like the idea but will only purchase it if they upgrade the gaming hardware and make it something more than the GO. Otherwise i see no point of it for people who have cell phones and a PSP.

The idea is good but I don't think the ergonomics will be perfect. Imagine after hours of gaming your phone will have a battery of 2/3hours which is not a good thing if you can't have your charger with you. I think it's better for them to stay focus on the hardware and the design of the PSP and to increase it instead of try to find some tools to try to refresh its image.

From the details in that article it doesn't sound like this would run existing PSP games, or even have the same hardware capabilities as a PSP.

Also, the way Sony tends to price their downloadable games, I have a hard time believing that they would want to directly compete with the existing Android market.

I just want a new psp thats not a phone that is powerful enough to play Rage like the iphone 4 can. I want a new dedicated gaming device and not a smart phone with gaming input. For one thing gaming wont be 1st priority in a psphone like it should and I would hate to play a boss battle thats intererupted because my mom or wife called.
