I've been thinking about this for a while but in my opinion it is becoming more likely.
Sony Ericsson has been doing pretty poorly recently but much like Motorolla out comes their Xperia X10, running Android which is doing Fantastically well and may put the company on the road to an up.
Google TV announced today and Sony is one of the initial partners and the only partner to directly integrate it into a TV.
Rumours of a "PSP Phone" have been going around for months now.
Google and Sony seem to be getting close, and I really think that this "PSP Phone" may be the PSP2 running on Android.
Anyone else see what I'm getting at?
Android plus Tegra 2 would be my guess. Don't get why they haven't done so already considering the huge popularity of mobile games in Japan. A psp phone would be an instant must-buy for me(if it had Froyo, a decent GPU and a 4 inch amoled screen).
Hopefully they will finally realise that they need a killer device to slow Apples domination. PSP2 needs to be no bigger than the size of the Go, add dual analogues, multi-touch, run on android, have more power (Tegra would be ideal), have a proper camera (i.e. optical zoom and flash), and BE A PHONE. As soon as some of their studios started producing Apps that required the power and controls offered by the PSP2 super phone then everyone would want one.
What is really surprising is how long it is taking Sony to combine their skills and bring something world beating to market. They are the only company with strong products in every area you would want from a ultimate pocket system. Phones, Gaming, Audio, PCs, Screens, Cameras, Software, even batteries, Sony are near the forefront.
I came across this thread while searching on google.
According to this Asahi news article released 5/29 they also speculate or have insider information that there are Walkman and PlayStation phones coming that will use Android. At least thats what I get out of the article.
The Wall Street Journal also reported back in March that Sony has been working on "a smart phone capable of downloading and playing videogames."
Also there have been some leaks from a UK developer who said it will use a 4-core Cell processor and that is "f*cking powerful." It will also have 2 cameras and a touch screen but will retain the traditional PlayStation buttons.
Sounds quite intriguing!

I'm against the idea of android on psp, it's just gay
it's a game system, so just let it be that way, upgrade the hardware, improve the control, throw in a sim card for internet connection, and leave it. No need for it to be a phone. Otherwise, it would fall into the life cycle of phones, which need to be updated twice a year.

I think an andriod device with a psp system is just suberb.
I think its a great idea.
But I seriously doubt any console manufacturer releasing hardware that runs open source software, seriously, think about it, the competition would be sh!thing kittens at getting their rivals source code and the pirates would think it was a gift from god.
PSP2 some hardware specs released
http://gizmodo.com/5744521/
- Dimensions: 17X7.4X2.3 cm
- 5" OLED multi-touch screen (12.7 cm)
- Multi-touch trackpad
- Resolution: 960 x 544
- Quad core ARM Cortex A-9
- PowerVR SGX 543 MP4+
- 512MB LPDDR2 RAM (1GB devkits)
- 16GB flash + SD slot
- Wifi, 3G, bluetooth
- Acelerometers, GPS, gyroscope, front and back camera.
Quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor and quad-core PowerVR SGX534MP4+ GPU.
Now the Tegra 2 is a Arm Cortex A9 processor, but I didn't know there was a quad core version yet. The Tegra 3 is going to have a quad core per the data sheet and presentation from Nvidia.
It actually looks really good.
Touch screen, and Touch panel on the back mimicking the screen on the front.
I can dig that, I don't have to smudge the screen all the time. And it will feel natural for the most part since you'll be holding it with two hands anyway.
So Arm processor, Touch Screen and touch panel, 3g, wifi, bluetooth, accelerometers, GPS, gyroscope, front and back camera and internal flash storage and, a SD card slot.
This is just itching for a port of android.
It will have video out as well like the previous 2 models. It could support a keyboard and mouse, Are you seeing the picture here?
"Quad-core ARM Cortex A9 processor and quad-core PowerVR SGX534MP4+ GPU."
That's impressive, I would like to seem some review of the hardware/software before I would purchase it though.
QUAD core?? Wow. That thing is going to be a beast!

That's what I'm saying.
I'm jonesing for a Tegra2 or now Tegra3 device.
I'm really curious about performance more than battery life.
I really want to have something that rocks the hell out of anything I throw at it.
Battery life doesn't really concern me, there are always 3rd party battery accessories/extenders. Either that or I'm always near a USB port or Power plug.
I refuse to have more cores on my handheld than on my PC.
Also battery life should be about the same as the PSP.

Well, one is made by Sony (NGP) and the other is made by Sony Ericsson (Xperia Play).
How easy/difficult will it be to get Android running on this beast? I don't know anything about chip architecture.
Quad-core ?? it seem sound gd ,, but on psp...?
I am thinking it will run android but unfortunatel I have given up on Sony long ago.

Forget about chip architecture. Sony sued GeoHot for jailbreaking the PS3 and the one of the things you can do was run Linux on it. I am sure that the case will be the same if someone were to jailbreak the PSP2.
The new release of IPAD3 will hit Verizon and ATT on March 16, equipped with 4G+Wifi and non 4G. It's the fact that apple A5X chip (quad core) is 4 time faster that droid tegra 3, higher resolution (2048 x 1536 ipad vs Asus transformer 700series 1920 x 1200, which suppose to release around June, 2012). Together with the high end hardware, apple also boost their software with amazing video editor, autodesk (hand draw graphic design), camera editing software and namco games designed just for Ipad...I'm a droid fan but I just have to admit, Apple is one of warrior that we may NOT able to beat...I'm thinking of pick one up, the one without 4G (extra $30 a month) and use my charge for 4g tethering every time I'm on the road.
You fell for Apple's use of fancy words. The A5X chip is a dual core cpu with a quad core gpu. Yes, you get no more CPU performance, just more graphics performance, which almost nothing takes advantage of fully now with the A5. Besides the updated screen and new software, there is really nothing spectacular about the new iPad. Just like the iPhone 4S update, it's a few minor spec bumps that Apple marketing (they are a marketing company that just happens to also sell stuff) made sound like the latest and greatest technology. Wait until other manufacturers get a chance to actually start using the new and upcoming quad-core SoCs
It's also not a Droid Tegra 3 or Droid pad. It is a Tegra 3 processor, which can be used by anyone on any platform, and Android Tablets. The Tegra 3 is actually a quad core cpu with 12 core gpu (technically 5 core cpu), and who knows how it will benchmark against Apple's chip, since Apple didn't release any firm details about how the new A5X benchmarked higher than the Tegra 3, or how much higher, or if it was a production Tegra 3 chip.
Personally, I would wait to see what Samsung comes up with this summer/fall to counter it, and even if they don't have anything, I would still take a GalaxyTab 7.7 over an iPad any day of the week.

Non taken, I'm here for a nice hobby and for fun....that's all.
Question: are you a Droid fan or Android fan?
Anyway,not much more to say than what Imnuts said. The thing is, the iPad 2's A5 chip proved to beat Tegra 3 in a series of benchmarks, though T3 was running on Honeycomb(and they were offscreen benchmarks). I wonder if the results would have been different if T3 was running on ICS.
What I'm very curious to see is Samsung's offering(higher resolution screen and quad core Exynos). Maybe even with bone stock ICS. That would be my dream tablet

I have friends who are diehard apple fanboys and even they say they're not getting it because its "pretty much the same as the 2"... a lot of people are starting to catch on to what Imnuts said about marketing gimmicks and releasing old tech as "revolutionary"
that said I also agree that I'll be waiting for the next quad core beast from Asus ($200 Google Nexus tablet anyone?) or maybe Samsung but I don't want their ugly ass bloated touchwiz over ICS
p.s. the only good thing I could see being brought about by this 3rd iPad would be hopefully display manufacturers will see that its possible to make higher-than-1080p displays for a reasonable price... also LOL at them for including what is basically a laptop capacity battery in it, and I doubt it would really get 10 hours on 4G
blazing through on my Nexus Prime via XDA app
It still isn't worth getting one if the OS is just a magnified iPhone OS (like it can't do anything new compared to the iPhone 4s)

Uh... no. iOS is GPU accelerated. Its interface and UI relies heavily on the GPU, much more so than Android. The stronger the GPU, for example, the less checkerboarding you experience when scrolling webpages. Of course this is more than negated by 4x the pixels, so day to day performance may not be as good as on the iPad 2.
In Anand's testing they found the iPad 2's GPU to be about 30% faster on average than the Tegra 3. Apple's 2x claim is probably based on a specific test that targets one of Tegra's numerous weaknesses. That said, the iPad 3 uses the same GPU as the PS VITA (albeit without the dedicated VRAM and to-the-metal programming). It's a beast. The same goes for that hi-res screen, which won't be surpassed by a shipping product for a year at least.
Apple claimed that in order to support such a super high resolution display, the A5X graphic chip is the key. But..what ever, Nvidia is going to bench mark the A5X and their Tegra 3...the true will reveal. I may add if indeed Tegra3 is faster, I'm a very happy guy, cause I have my eyes on the coming Asus Transformer 700 due to release sometime in June 2012. Beside the hardware, Apple also released 5 killer apps; video editor(amazing photo editor and movie maker), autodesk(free hand graphic design), 2 new games from Namco and Epic, icloud garage band where 4 people (drumer,guitar,keyboard,bass) can play the same song over the internet.

iCloud seems very similar to Google's cloud services.
As for Autodesk, doesn't that company have an app(or apps) for android as well? Both OS systems have Photoshop Touch, which seems like a great photo editing tools in its own right.

The UI is no more or less accelerated now with ICS for Android from what I've read. The only stuff left in Android that isn't GPU driven isn't going to tax the CPU to render it. The only reason that the added GPU power will be needed is the high resolution, which is pointless IMO. Why get a higher resolution other than to brag about it? You think Samsung/LG/etc. couldn't make a higher resolution display if they wanted to? They're sticking to 1080p/720p because it's a standard resolution and you won't be powering unnecessary pixels if you don't have to, which you will be doing on that display when watching HD videos. Either way, I give it 3-4 months before someone displays a better product, if not sooner. No one has any idea how the OMAP5 really performs, or the quad-core Exynos chips, and if anyone will best the A5X, those are probably the best candidates.

Playing music as a band using the iPad 3 using "the cloud"(which pretty much means using the iPad's LTE modem) sounds like what multiplayer games on iOS and Android do.

The display on the Galaxy Tab 7.7 is gorgeous. Also, I have some Apple fanboy coworkers who admit that having a 7" iPad would be awesome, and that typing/holding an iPad can be cumbersome.
Oh iPad, you are so revolutionary.
Side rant: I love how Apple upgraded the cameras on the iPad3 and acted like it's a big deal. Cameras... on a tablet.. Who in the **** uses their tablet's cameras that often to warrant a hardware upgrade? The cameras were fine! How about updating the damn OS.
Don't get me started on Siri. Aimbot, anyone?
OK, for better comparison, let just comparing ONLY 4G device; Ipad3 clearly the winner here over any android tablet currently on the Market. Let's not even talk about the future, because it's endless and mute discussion.
People are so offensive when ever we talk about the "competitor". Like 'Ipad3 has the highest screen resolution", Oh that's not needed, it's not make that much of different. Come on admitted, they do have higher resolution than any other device out there. Sometime, we should hold back our egos and watch and listen, we may learn something new. I'm an Android fan, but sometime the competitor is better and I will admit they're better and sometime when Android is better, we should be proud. Only kids bashing other kids.

I would still take the GalaxyTab 7.7. And yes, it has a higher screen resolution, but how is it useful? The only good thing about that high resolution is that you could see pictures without zooming in as much. The more screen real estate you're getting, it's going to take developers a while to take advantage of it because it is such a huge increase. It's pointless for movies and videos, when is the last time you saw a movie with a resolution greater than 1080p? For video viewing, you have wasted screen space. I'm sure the display looks great, but until we actually have videos that are >1080i/p, I don't see a reason to have a higher resolution display.

Ipad 3 is amazing but dont android OS my favorite tablet samsung asus vs.!
Just a harmless conversation based on what the next Samsung flagship phone might receive based on trends of the mobile industry. You can offer your own opinions and/or critiques.
With the Nexus 4, sporting a very powerful S4 Snapdragon quad processor, 320 Adreno GPU, 2 GB of RAM and the standard HD display, it's sure to be the strongest thing we have until the HTC Butterfly (now dubbed the HTC DNA) comes (reportedly to Verizon) sporting a 1080p screen, probably the same processor and RAM, as well as a bigger battery.
It's clear that the competition within the Android ecosystem isn't as monopolized by Samsung like it was a year or two ago - at least in terms of quality products. The Galaxy S II stayed not only as the top Android phone, but the top phone period for almost a whole year. It seems that HTC and LG have stepped up their game and are putting out functioning, competitive products. The Galaxy S III kind of fell off the performance radar within 4-5 months. (comparatively speaking)
Samsung has been reportedly testing 3 GB RAM on experiment phone models; if that made it to the final product of the GSIV, that would make it a trend-setter in that regard. It's also going to come with the new-generation 13 megapixel camera module, which is slated to desolate any popular 8 MP camera shooters on the market - such as the HTC One X, Galaxy S III (the worst of the bunch on the front-facing camera) or iPhone 5 with its color-reproduction and low-light performance.
As for the processor, I hope they throw in the ultra-powerful Exynos 5450 (the Cortex-A15 quad-core) rated at around 2 GHz, it will absolutely eat the already unbelievably fast S4 Krait quad in the upcoming megaphones for breakfast. The Mali-658 GPU from the aforementioned would probably also be on par, if not better than that in the iPad 4's A6X's GPU. Last but not least, anyone else hoping we'll see a beautiful Super AMOLED HD Plus display (or whatever they'll call it) with full 1080p?
All of these rumors and speculation sound reasonable at this point, given what we've been seeing in the market place. If it all turned out to be true, the Galaxy S IV would be leaps and bounds above any smartphone upon its release and maybe easily throughout the year subsequent to its release. I'm actually excited that the competition within Android is picking up steam. The harder these companies compete against each other, the more us, as consumers win.
In the next generation phones, most of them would be compatible with nfc payments, like Google wallet or isis.
I expect faster processor and a minimum of 2 gb of ram.
Most likely, every phone will come in different screen sizes. So you can choose a particular phone with your choice of screen size.

Why would they use Tegra 3 chips - which are only Cortex-A9's and the fact that Samsung develops their own chipset means they would opt for their own before another chipset commonly found in its competitors.

I sure hope they don't use the tegra chipset. That'll make them depend on nVidia for updates.
more batery life
It's great that a lot of attention is put into adding better specs (RAM, CPU, features like NFC, etc), but my biggest concern is that they' don't pay enough attention to battery life. I don't understand why they don't invest more in this field.
Here's to hoping that Samsung will care more about this and innovate in this area.

So the battle of “my specs are better“ continues....
BTW why doesn‘t anyone take the battery very seriously? Considering how quickly a device runs out nowadays
I'm gonna wait till Google IO then i'm gonna decide between Moto and HTC.
P.S: Tegra 4i is amazing.
it is being said that customers will be able to configure their phone’s color, RAM, and internal storage at checkout, much like has been the case in the PC industry. They can even preload all of their content out of the factory so the device is ready to run out of the box.
rumors persist that it will be available at a highly reduced cost via a singular online retailer. The handset will not launch through other retailers or via carriers. While the rumors don’t mention a specific outlet, that sure sounds like Google Play, to us.

Ah agreed! I went to the extensiveness to strap my self with 3 extended S3 batteries. To be honest I'd rather a phone to be slightly thicker than the whole "we've made it even thinner" attitude.
Still, if Googarola are planning this phone. My Gosh, that just lifted the bar. Especially what the last guy said. OP will be update with the latest and greatest rumor talk for this Googarola Extravaganza of a phone.

here it is 2018 now. coming up on 10 years when the htc g1 dream debuted as the worlds 1st smartphone with 192 MB RAM, 256 MB ROM. 2013 saw the S4 with 2GB/16Gb/13mp/2600mah. then in 2015 brilliance came shining through with usb-c; that was 3 years ago. now we do see a lot of phones daring to go with 4gb/64gb usb-c 4000mah dual rear 12mp cameras; but still we see a lot of phones that are supposed to be high end failing to brave the the modern world of usb-c. im not saying entry-level phones aren't a necessity. rather not drop names but gonna to to show examples. im talking about how surprising it is to see the honor 7x not having usb-c. that it took until the S8 for samsung to get a clue to have their flagship don all these really basic flagship requisites. im not a gamer, don't care for the hype of 4k on a 5 inch screen with a battery that powers it for less than a day. instead just really like technology and its advance not hesitation. here's to hoping 2108 is the year manufacturers brave the world of true flagship specs and even mid-range devices taking on the demand customers like me really do not want to see new phones brag of 2gb/16gb usb-b quad core 2000mah 13mp unless its for less than 150 bucks like the blu r1hd for those who don't need or want a high-end device.
