Sony Ericsson PSP2: First Specs Revealed!

For those of you who have been searching for solid information on the upcoming PSP2, this is probably it. Engadget has scooped some exclusive details on Sony’s new gadget, and it looks to be a merge with Sony Ericsson on a PSP Go / Smartphone device.  

As taken from their article, Engadget reveals that Sony Ericsson is designing a brand new mobile gaming platform, and their first hardware device will be a cross between the Samsung Captivate and the current Sony PSP Go handheld system.

They have included a mock-up image with their article so you can see what it looks like, but they have also provided some hardware specs that they have obtained. The device will feature game controls in place of a QWERTY keyboard, and these will consist of a D-Pad and Playstation buttons.

Here’s the interesting part. Intead of a analogue stick, the device will feature a ‘long touch pad’, which will make use of controls usually reserved for the analogue stick. The device will still feature shoulder buttons according to Engadget.

As for the display screen, it is thought to be a 3.7 – 4.1 inch display with a WVGA or better resolution. Since it is also a smartphone, it will come equipped with a 5 megapixel camera, 1Ghz Snapdragon processor and Android 3.0 Gingerbread operating system.

Engadget finish off by saying that the device will also most likely come with both the Xperia and PlayStation brand logos. Pretty exciting details there you have to say. Read through them and let us know what your initial impressions are.

well there is a new snapdragon's Chips!

The MSM8260, MSM8660 and MSM8270 solutions for mobile handsets deliver a new level of mobile multimedia performance, including:

• · Scorpion 1.2 GHz processor and 600 MHz DSP for high levels of web application and multimedia performance
• · Support for innovative 3D/2D user interfaces and console-quality gaming via dedicated, high-performance graphics engines
• · 16 megapixel camera
• · Full 1080p HD video playback and recording
• · Support for DTS/Dolby 5.1 surround sound
• · Integrated Assisted-GPS, including support for Glonass satellite services
• · Support for stunning 24-bit WXGA (1280 x 800) displays
• · 45nm process technology for ultra-low power consumption

The MSM8260 supports 3GPP Release 7 HSPA for data rates of up to 28 Mbps. The MSM8660 adds support for 3GPP/3GPP2 multimode, and the MSM8270 adds support for Release 8 dual-carrier HSPA for even higher data rates of up to 42 Mbps. All three products offer full backward compatibility to previous generation networks and are pin-, software- and functionally-compatible.

The MDM8220 solution for data cards features support for 3GPP Release 8 standard, dual-carrier HSPA for up to 42 Mbps on the downlink and 11 Mbps on the uplink. By aggregating two HSPA carriers in parallel, Release 8 HSPA dual-carrier technology effectively doubles the end user’s bandwidth from 5 MHz to 10 MHz to enhance Web 2.0 experiences.

The new QTR8610 transceiver, which integrates support for all worldwide 3G bands and eliminates the need for standalone codecs, GPS, Bluetooth and FM radio chips, is compatible with the MSM8660, MSM8260 and MSM8270 chipsets.
