Would a Android PSPhone be successful?

Actually a few months ago their was a report that Sony signed an agreement to use the Android OS in a new device. Many rumoured it would be the PSP2. Now I don't think the PSPhone would be strictly a phone. I bet it would be a PSP2 with the ability to be used as a phone.

It would likely be sold as PSP2 in game stores all over, then if the consumer wanted they could go into the chosen phone provider and upgrade the console to include phone connectivity. Think of it like X-Box and Live, you don't have to have Live to own and enjoy a 360 but Live can be added later on to boost services.

In the end I think PSP2 will have some kind of phone functionality. Reports from handheld developers is that handhelds are loosing market share to I-Phone and Sony already tried a direct confrontation with Nintendo and failed to steal market share. I think their next target will be I-Phone.

I bet that PSP2 will be availible in game stores around the world without the phone activation default while being provided in cell phone stores for a real cheap price with a contract. Sony will try to take on both I-Phone and 3DS at the same time by offering a device that does what both do.

I call it right now PSPhone is coming sooner or later whether its PSP2 or PSP3 sooner or later Sony will jump into I-Phone territory and I think now is the best chance they have at competing!
