Sony Ericsson Working on a PSP Phone with Android 3.0

Jonne Eilimö | August 12, 2010 06:40 | 0 comments | source

PSP Phone Android 3.0According to an engadget tipster, Sony Ericsson is working on a PSP Phone that will run Android 3.0. The phone is said to be a combination of the Samsung Galaxy S, and the PSP Go.

It will have a landscape slider with the basic QWERTY keyboard being replaced by gaming controls. The slider will come with the standard D-Pad, PSP buttons and a “long touch pad” for analog controls.

The rumor tells that the PSP Phone will have a 3.7 to 4.1 inch screen with WVGA or better resolution. It could come with a 5 megapixel camera, but that hasn’t been finalized yet. We’ll see a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU power this phone. The phone will come with both PSP and Xperia branding, and should be black with silver highlights.

The new Android Market should contain games designed for this device, that will be graphically in the range of PSX and PSP. The engadget tipster says that this phone could see the light of day as early as October, just in time for the holiday sales.

Sounds like a really cool device, doesn’t it?

Video: LCD vs AMOLED vs Super LCD vs Super AMOLED

Jonne Eilimö | July 27, 2010 19:53 | 0 comments | source

Check out this comparison video of four different screen technologies.

You can see the following screens tested in the video above:

  • Motorola Milestone with a LCD panel
  • Nexus One with an AMOLED panel
  • HTC Desire with a Super LCD panel
  • Samsung Wave with a Super AMOLED panel

Personally I like the Super AMOLED screen the most. Would be cool to see the iPhone 4s Retina Display in this same test.

Sony Ericsson X10 mini pro - Black

The first shipment of the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 mini pro arrived today at the store where I work.  The X10 mini pro is exactly the same as the X10 mini, but with an added QWERTY keyboard. The Android 1.6 powered little phone comes with a 600MHz processor, 2.6″ capacitive touch screen, 5MP camera, A-GPS, micro USB connector, microSD card, Bluetooth with support for A2DP, WiFi and a FM radio with RDS support.

I personally think that Sony Ericsson has done a good job with the XPERIA X10 mini pro. The screen is small, but with the full keyboard it feels quite good in your hand. Build quality also seems good, and the spring that opens the QWERTY slider is good.
