The Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone is Real!

| October 27, 2010 07:39 UTC | 0 comments | source

Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone

Engadget have gotten their hands on the real deal Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone that has been an on/off joke for the past year or so.

The device is said to come with a 1GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, 1GB ROM, and a screen that will be between 3.7 to 4.1 inches. It’s said to run on Android Gingerbread (2.3), and come with Sony Ericsson’s own marketplace where they intend to sell games for the phone.

The Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone that Engadget received info on is still a prototype device, and according to them, very buggy. It’s also lacking a custom Android skin, which we know from the XPERIA range of  products is very cool. No word on when this one will be released, could be late 2010 or early 2011, or why not late 2011 too ;)

Nexus Two in the Making – Coming to UK Late 2010

| October 27, 2010 07:22 UTC | 0 comments | source

Google Nexus Two

Rumores of the Nexus Two went crazy last night when an article of Carphone Warehose UK was released. They say in the interview that they will get the second Google-branded phone in time for Christmas, and that it will run Gingerbread.

This would also mean a completely different strategy from Google’s point of view. They wouldn’t sell the phone themselves, but use a retailer instead.

THE SECOND Google-branded mobile phone will hit the UK in time for Christmas through an exclusive deal with Carphone Warehouse, City A.M. has learned.

Its predecessor, the Nexus One, is the flagship device for the search giant, which is desperately trying to wrest market share from Apple’s iPhone.

The deal with Carphone represents a major rethink of Google’s sales strategy, with the Nexus One released exclusively in the UK through Vodafone.

An industry source said: “It looks like Google is experimenting with the future of its mobile model in the UK. It tried releasing through a single carrier, now it is trying a single retailer.

“It could be a solution to the problems it experienced when it tried to sell the Nexus One exclusively through its website. People like to be able to go to a store – this solves that.”

Neither Carphone Warehouse or Google has commented on this rumor.
