Before anyone starts with all the "that's worse performance than phone <x>" crap that's on Engadget, here's a quick disclaimer.

This phone has a higher screen resolution than phone <x> so more pixels to draw.
The hardware is not yet final.
The OS of the phone is not yet final, either, so there are optimisations to come.

The demo is probably not a great benchmark for the phone's abilities. I've seen it running a real game with some pretty snappy visuals and it's fairly smooth even on development boards that are earlier revisions than the phone pictured above.

all i can say is it certainly isn't infinity blade is it.

Only trying to head off the stuipd sort of comments that are on the Engadget boards.

No, this demo looks nothing like infinity blade, but that doesn't mean the device couldn't do what infinity blade does. From what I've seen of it I reckon it could probably do it and at least this thing has proper gaming controls to run proper games.

I'm not some Sony fanboi troll, either. I own an iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and have no plans whatsoever to own one of these PSP Phones.

First of all, this means nothing, as far as we know that device was being used as an external monitor. Why isn't he actually playing it? How is the user interface? etc, etc...

Playing what? A benchmarking demo? That's the point of them, you don't play them. They are scripted sequences used to compare the hardware. If you had some control over it, you'd not be running exactly the same code on all machines.
