 This sounds like Sony is moving to consider the DD as the medium of choice as I kind of predicted earlier in this thread.  I think that this will really help sales in the long run. 

for the PSP yea, I mean think about how the PSPGo is pretty much near a phone already only thing missing is dedicated phone chip function's

the PSP already does skype.

by Sony doing a dedicated Playstation Smart Phone the market can handle many Smartphone's on the market at one time. so the Market share's are more distributed

between so many device's what's one more added to the Mix. the point being since the Playstation smart phone would be able to have strong 1st party game support, it may give it a unique feel among all the other smart phone's.

and since there is so many carrier's

some may even bid for exclusive contract for this phone. just like Apple did with Iphone An AT&T.
