In a recent interview, Sony Ericsson Vice President Anil Raj made some interesting comments relating to the future synergy planned by Sony for its gaming and mobile phone offerings.
When asked about its new phones carrying games content, Raj said, “The P800 will have colour, and fast graphics. Sony understands gamers, the PlayStation2 is the world's leading console. We've put a lot of that expertise into these phones. Some of our phones will be able to talk to the console as well, and interact with the games. For example, if you have a game where the characters need to be trained, you could load the character into your phone, and train it as you're carrying it around with you. It could connect to the PS2 via USB. The P800 could also be tied in to content from one of the Sony Music artists, like Jennifer Lopez or Mariah Carey or whoever. So you could have an album promo on there. Or you could imagine, say, a J-Lo phone loaded with pictures, and her favourite Web sites, sound clips or ring tones, customisations like that.”
