Report: Sony refuses use of PlayStation brand for PSP phone


Rumors of a PSP-infused phone (or is it a phone-infused PSP?) have been circulating since the dawn of time -- we figured if anyone would be working on this Frankenportable, it would be Sony Ericsson, the beleaguered mobile phone branch of Sony Corp. However, if a report from UK cellular phone industry news site Mobile Today proves accurate, we've been in the wrong this whole time -- according to them, Sony Ericsson was recently refused the use of the PlayStation brand by their parent company. A fairly sick burn, if true.

The story, which comes from several anonymous "sources close to the matter", claims that Sony will only license the PlayStation brand if and when Sony begins making handsets independently from Ericsson. A Sony Ericsson representative wouldn't comment on the report, but did say that "technical specs are not high enough to put such a prestigious brand on a phone."

I would be all over this if Sony was to do it. It pisses me off that they can not seem to get their act together enough to be on top like they should be. They continue to run second best against competitors in nearly every catagory and it is unacceptable. Sony has to much going for them to continue dropping the ball. They need to work together, and they need to boot all the egotisticle executives out to the curb. If they would have let Stringer do his job correctly from day one they would not be loosing money right now.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I did too back in the late 90's or so.

 



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

I don't know if a PSP Phone would ever catch on, it's just too big for a phone.




Nintendo still doomed?

I wonder if they would rather/try to milk a deal with Verizon or someone for purposes of competing with iPhone.
