Cake!

Devs, take note! New IP sells!

@Xeno Well mine says infinity!!!

PS3 next please! The browser that comes with it is awful.

@Chibi Chaingun

ngage is a perfect analogy. Ngage was a separate games platform to the rest of the symbian community, not forgetting that Nokia isn't the only company that makes symbian phones.

If this Playstation phone ends up as a simple break away the marketplace from the rest of Andriod as opposed to a PSP platform for your mobile, then it will be an epic fail. What developer in thier right mind would want to create games for yet another platform?

@pickupdoctor Don't forget that that price is inclusive of GST (Goods & Services Tax) which is 10%. Australia also doesn't have a ludicrously low minimum wage, so it is more expensive for manufacturers and retailers to operate. It's a trade off that I personally think is worthwhile.

"Now, to see if anyone's actually interested in buying a desktop OS on a mobile form factor..."

No.

Completely off topic, does anyone know if it is now possible with ios4 to write an app so that I can use my iPhone as a keyboard for a ps3? That's what the world really needs.

@metafor Ok, this isn't a subject that I know much about so I am more than happy to be corrected. Would there not be more software developers familiar with the x86 architecture?

I'm thinking something along the lines of Xbox 360 v PS3. The fact that the 360 processor is pc based, means there is a much shorter learning curb for developers to write for the 360 as they are normally already familiar with writing for pc.

Could there be similar comparisons made in the mobile phone space?

Not sure about the touch screen idea for a remote. I normally watch movies etc in a darkened room & would prefer not to have an annoying display light up and break the mood. It's not that hard to find a button you want by feel with the right layout of keys.

The six axis thing could be interesting though.
