Hideki Komiyama
Flying in the face of Sony's ideas for its PlayStation Brand, Sony Ericsson's president has said that a PlayStation phone isn't an impossibility.
Speaking to the Financial Times, Hideki Komiyama said that a PlayStation phone "could happen".
Contrary to Komiyama's thoughts on the subject, Sony executives reportedly told Ericsson that the only way such a phone would find its way into the world was if Sony itself produced it. (In case that sounds confusing - Sony Ericsson is a joint venture from the two companies it gets its name from, not a Sony subsidiary).
Does this sound to anyone else like Komiyama's thrashing around for any possible way to save his suffering business? The company has suffered of late thanks in no small part to its failure to produce a smartphone that could compete with the iPhone.
SPOnG does, it must be said, like the sound of a Sony-built PlayStation phone...

i've had the same phone for 2 years now (sony ericsson cybershot dealy) and its never broken down in anyway. if i drop it (which happens) it may switch itself off. but thats it... and thats my fault. its a really good build quality, the best phone ive had.
everyone else i know that has a different phone, doesnt last a year usually. my gf's nokia for example, has started playing up 3 months after it was bought, and for a while you had to have it on speaker phone in order for the other person to be able to hear you.

A "Playstation" PS1 phone, they could emulate that already.
