PSP Phone - A Gadget Worth Waiting For

It's a dream come true for me to use my PSP as my phone. That's why I was overwhelmed to hear that Sony Ericsson is coming up with something to integrate a mobile phone into a PlayStationPortable! In a deal with BT, the PSP is about to become a phone, Net browser and video comms device.


Sony has designed very good game controls on PSP, and they are trying to overcome the difficulty of gaming using a numeric keypad that comes with a mobile phone. Of course they came up with a solution and made a few keys on numeric keypad into a game controls and the problem was solved. The other issue was that most of the good games are played holding the PSP with both hands and using two thumbs to control game characters while the phone is operated usually with a single hand and thumb. A rotating screen solved this issue. When the device is in a phone mode, all you have is a simple mobile phone with numeric keypad , menu and function keys. Turn the screen around 180 degrees, your menu/functional keys are transformed into game controls and you have a perfectly good portable gaming device.

I would definitely buy this PSP Phone as soon as it's out in the market. Move over, iPhone!
