Sony's "It only does everything" PS3 slogan could apply to its next portable console if a new report is true.
According to Wall Street Journal (via Kotaku): "Sony is developing a portable device that shares characteristics of hand-held game machines, e-book readers and netbook computers, according to people familiar with the matter."
WSJ didn't elaborate on exactly what that means for the handheld, or even if it was referring to the next PSP or simply a new device that's capable of gaming along with other functions, considering that statement could be used to describe a tablet device, phone, notebook or any other wireless device.
But it comes tucked away in a larger report speculating that Sony and Nintendo are in discussions with wireless carriers over including 3G connections in their next gaming handhelds.
WSJ goes on to note: "Some Sony e-book readers already come with 3G connections but it isn't clear if a new wireless gadget will use carrier networks."
