Sony Ericsson's 'Aino' is almost a PSP phone ... but not really

that would feel terrible. just look how cramped the controls are.

thanks to them the Palm Pre was made :)

If I kept holding my breath any longer, i'd be unconscious by now.

great phone but lacking apps

I'm surprised after reading its features that it will use SD cards...well instead of Memory Sticks. Though, I wonder why they didn't go with microSD or even the M2 sticks.

um, thanks for the reminder post!

Am i the only one who thinks Aino sounds like that other word... the one that ends with an L

Got one of these bad boys on pre-order with Play.com. Never had a problem with the Ericsson brand and switched up to an iPhone early last year, had nothing but problems. Corrupting software, apps which fail to initialise, then 3.0 messes mine up and made it overheat. Had 4 replacements in over 8 months. Put me off any further attempts they want to force feed to the market. Gonna go back to Ericsson.

Their marketing team must be paid so much now.

September is for the iPod refresh, unfortunately, I bet it will have nothing to do with the iPhone. They're going to add a camera and the faster processor/graphics chip to the 'Pods. Though it would be REALLY nice if they took that time to announce the $100 8GB 3GaSpeed...

I'm waiting for a year or more on WebOS for more apps and a nicer hardware revision. I'm not digging the Pre's keyboard. Rather have landscape if I'm going hardware. Plus, it sounds like WebOS suffers a bit from what iPhone did when it first came out - it lacks some simple functionality. Although it's probably a much better device than the first iPhone during 1.0 (the Pre has copy & paste out of the box...), there are some things that would annoy me, like not being able to select more than one e-mail at a time. It looks reaaally nice though. Gestures look awesome.

Remember when Joystiq turned into Engadget there for a sec?

Remote Play might be nice for streaming music and maybe video from your PS3, but I've had terrible performance from it for trying to play games. I was in the same wireless network as the PS3, tried out Remote Play with Bionic Commando Rearmed on my PSP Phat, and it had a good 1 second input delay. Put Killzone 2 to shame. It was unplayable by far.

Anybody have better luck with Remote Play? Is it just BC:R that sucks with it?

a 64GB touch with the upgrades of the 3GS would be amazing to me.

ipod touch should have the remote play thing or the zune HD when its out :)

any one know how much this will cost. ive got games to buy 2 ya know

too bad... :S
i would definitely buy a PSP Phone and then upgrade to a PSP Phone 2

This "aino" PSP phone.

That looks hot !

That really sounds like Guilty Gear phone...

"no release Stateside"

Further proof that Sony needs to sell off some of their divisions, what is the point of having a Mobile brand and a Gaming brand if they can't help each other out?

ITs First Phone ever to connect to Gaming System I think its great move by Sony Specially Since the PS3 has lots of market behind it too .. and for $550
