Sony PSP will be merged in Cell Phones

As per the increasing demand of Sony PSP, it looks like Sony is once again considering combining a cell phone with its Playstation PSP portable gaming console. Cell phones are available in combinations with .MP3 players, digital cameras, audio and video recorders, and mobile computers.

Reuters on Monday reported that the Nikkei business daily on Saturday wrote that Sony is considering a hybrid cell phone-gaming device to compete with Apple's iPod and iPhone. Sony could set up a project team as early as next month to develop a new portable device combining the function of a PSP portable gaming console and a Sony Ericsson mobile cell phone, Reuters reported.

Mobile phone manufacturer Sony Ericsson is a joint venture between Sony and Sweden's Ericsson. This would not be the first time Sony is considering offering a combination game/cell phone device. The Economic Times, part of India-based Indiatimes, reported in November of 2007 that Jim Ryan, then Sony Computer Entertainment's co-chief operating officer, said that a "Playstation Phone" is a future possibility.
