Look at Microsoft's Courier concept. We saw more of it than we've seen of this PSPhone. That thing was announced by Microsoft with a demo video and everything, but as far as we know, there wasn't even a working prototype before the project was killed. This rumour is plausible, but I can't really blame somebody for wanting more than a single anonymous source before believing the product will actually ship. What if this is just a proposal from Sony Ericcson and somebody from Sony Computer Entertainment squashes it for fear that it might undermine the PSP 2? |
Sorta this, but I'll take it a few steps further and say that leaks that happen internally like this always come from low-end employees, (top guys get no benefit and have no reason to give such information out) and said employees almost never see the full scope or final design of the product they're working on precisely because of such leaks.
Look at how vague the details are, and how they still aren't even completely sure on the final design when this is supposedly coming this October. Bullshit. If this was anywhere near complete factories would already be set-up to begin production, and designs would have been finalized months ago.
This reeks. I believe engadget's source is legitimate, but I don't believe that source has anywhere near the true and full details on whatever this is, nor that the final design will necessarily be remotely similar to what is claimed here.
That said, if a PSP-ish Android comes out, I'll buy it, especially if Sony puts the PSP library on it and lets me recover my PSN-purchased games.
