Agree with that. A phone/handheld hybrid could be great, I had great hopes for the Xperia Play, but in the end I think Sony didn't knew what to do. The rumours were about the "PlayStation Phone", but in the end they kept it separated from the PS brand, probably to avoid clashes with PSP and the future Vita. They would need to do it for real this time and brand it as PlayStation, not Xperia. And honestly, the PS brand is much more succesful and recognized worldwide than the Xperia brand and, unlike phones, an hybrid device could actually use any of the two brands, so they would just go with the strongest one.
I actually like this idea. Instead of going against the smartphone/tablet onslaught, just get the best of both worlds.
