Playstation phone plans hit snag, reports say

Hardware specs "not high enough"

 

Will we ever see a Playstation phone? This much-rumored device apparently took a step further from reality this week: the latest design from Sony's joint phone development wing was vetoed by Sony brass, according to reports on Mobile Today.

In the words of a Sony Ericsson spokeswoman: "We feel at the moment the technical specs are not high enough to put such a prestigious brand on a phone."

Sony Ericsson already makes phones branded with Sony trademarks such as Cyber-shot, Walkman, and Bravia, and has been rumored to be preparing a Playstation-branded device -- presumably with a heavy emphasis on providing a fulfilling gaming experience -- for several years.
