Rumours are spreading across the InterWebs that Sony Ericsson is working on a PlayStation branded smartphone using the Android 3.0 operating system.
It can sometimes be very difficult to work out where these sort of rumours originally came from, but this one can be clearly laid at the door of website Engadget. Although they're unable to provide any evidence beyond a 'trusted source'.
Said rumourmonger claims that the reason Sony Ericsson hasn't yet released an Android 2.0 device is because it's trying to jump the queue with a cross between a PSPgo and a Samsung Captivate. This apparently means it'll have a landscape slider with 'game controls' instead of a keyboard.
These controls will include a D-pad and a 'long touch pad' instead of analogue controllers - plus standard PlayStation face and shoulder buttons.
The screen is apparently between 3.7 and 4.1 inches in size with WVGA or higher resolution (so in layman's terms its very big and with a very sharp picture). A 5 megapixel camera is also being mooted and a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU.
We've no idea what a Snapdragon CPU is but apparently the graphics will be 'in the range of PSone or PSP games'. That seems surprisingly low tech and not a step-up from the current PSP, let alone the 3DS.
