Sony Ericsson PSP Phone Concept
By William on Monday, August 27th, 2007 at 1:06 PM PST In Sony
Sony Ericsson patented a PSP phone concept a while back, proving that Sony had some interest in developing a PSP phone model. At the time, it was more than likely not a priority, but that’s starting to change.
Consumer interest in the idea has really increased lately and could force Sony to at least take a look at the idea again. The above image is a PSP phone concept created by a random internet user. Although Sony would probably never go with a design idea from someone random, if the idea catches on, they will have no choice but to consider the ideas flying around the internet.
Remember the Ngage! It was a bit of a failure. This though has a much better chance, what with a whole library of games. But why would people want to give up their PSP for one with a phone in when their phone is much smaller and they don’t always take their PSP with them. However the games on that mobile would be the best ever.
i think a PSP phone would still be niche to a degree, but would be successful if they marketed it right and if the price was right.
I actually came close to purchasing an Ngage, but perhaps the time just wasn’t right when that came out. I do think a PSP phone could compete with the likes of the iPhone as long as it had enough memory. The homebrew community could really make it a worthwhile investment with all the interesting aps that would come out for it.
I’ve just photoshopped up a design I would like for it. Basically a touch screen iphone type device with slide out wings at each end to convert it to a PSP.

good idea. I like the idea of slide out wings.
Who created this had never hold a PSP or even play Playstation at all.
That buttons has nothing similar to the standar playstation pad.
The official patent seems to have surfaced:

it is a yet another great idea by sony but maybe another failure by sony if they incorporate an internet application(non wi-fi but can get connection anywhere), a camera, mp3 and mp4 viewing with application to view these where you can search by artist genre album etc. unlike the original psp, touch screen for phone portion of device so the gaming portion has correctly positioned and spaced buttons, at least 8 GB memory hopefully more, and low price (dont pull an apple iphone on us and make the original price 500$) make it like 150$-200$, also create it with more slimmer parameters than the original gaming only psps so it is easy to fit into pocket andyou dont need a backpack to carry it, durable yet sleek. GO PSP PHONE.
This phone is amazinn
When is it cumin out in the uk
i WANT it
I dont know, it looks a little cheap to me and aside from that to be able to fit all of the components from a psp and a cell phone would require a cell phone about the size of the original psp.
This is a great idea. I love how it looks awsome!!! when is it coming out!
grrrr dum brothers so annoying 
I WANT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warning: This is a novel-length response (not really, but it’s not short). hmm, i like the idea of sony creating a phone that could be heavy competition with the iPhone, but not a PSP phone, that would never work. maybe they could add some sort of chat accessory to the already-existing psp, but if they want to make a phone that can beat the iPhone, it should be done right. therefore, if it’s a phone, just don’t make it say psp on it, since judging by this picture, it just looks like a high-tech game boy micro, with a phone built in.
and just to not copy apple, and realisticly reduce the price, instead of a touchscreen, make a slide-out number pad or somethin. that cheaper, and touchscreen phones are all-to-common & pushed on us now, so instead of bowing down to this touchscreen trend, sony would be doing itself a favor by not copying its competition’s features (if it were to make a phone). overall, what i’m sayin is that a PSP is great for gaming & media, but making a phone with a PSP built-in isn’t that original. To take down the iPhone, Sony, I recommend creating a phone. Still, though, continue the PSP line, if desired, but not like this. No touchscreen phones, please.
this idea sucks.the phone looks so big in the pic is it a phone or a cordless phone.
its crazy i want it rite now
want it want it now now now
Y WANT IT……………………………………….
Seriously. If Sony is gonna make a cell phone, it shouldn’t have anything to do with the PSP. The PSP is great and all, I play mine whenever I get the chance cuz it’s the best, but a phone?
Nope, I would hate that, and I know several people that agree with me. Sony should create a NEW product to be their cell phone that will crush Apple to death. Let’s face it, everyone, this idea will never get off the ground if it is a PSP. Besides, that would make it too expensive. And even if it does make it into the market, its fate will be no better than that of the ever-so poplular N-Gage.
it looks cool. but for me, thats not enough, considering ive already got a PSP and a mobile phone.
i also have to agree with jaime, just looks too distant from my PSP.
in fact, if you came accross this picture on a teaser poster or similer and it didnt have “psp” written over the screen, would you even guess it was a PSP phone?
go idea for the sony erisson psp imaginator person.
ummm well i do kno for people with a hacked psp running cfw (custom frimware)3.40 or greater; a public voip phone applet has been coded. if yall wanna try it…go to psp-hacks.com. it has a funky name dat starts with an f. nd it ends with a p.
truly this idea is dumb and too complicated . Sony all you need to make for the psp is user accounts and chat features like the PS3 has . i swear if that were to happen the PSP would be ultimate and you can drop this phone idea lol .
when this gadget comes out???
how much it will be cost????
when this gadget coming out soon here in philippines?????
how much it will be cost in peso???????
lalala ! i wanntt IT !
SO @#&!~ COOL I WANT ONE

the phone with a psp sounds cool. but i think they should just add a new update with something that will connect 2 ur phone and do all the phone stuff on the psp
