PlayStation mobile still 'could happen'

ony Ericsson president Hideki Komiyama has expressed his interest in partnering with Sony’s game business, stating that a PlayStation mobile handset “could happen”.
The business is currently fighting its corner in the cutthroat mobile handset market, though it has so far failed to provide a serious Smartphone competitor to the iPhone.
Due to the heightened competition, Komiyama is interested to see if the PlayStation arm of Sony can provide a lucrative and unique selling point for its future handsets. Speaking to The Financial Times, he claimed that a PlayStation mobile “could happen”.

Despite its struggles in the Smartphone market, Sony Ericsson is a big believer in convergence. In the past the group has integrated the Walkman and Cybershot brands into its phones, though has not yet embarked on the same path as Nokia did with the n-Gage.
Sony Ericsson is currently relying on third-party technologies to make its phones smarter. The firm will be delivering two new mobiles to the market by the end of 2009, both of which will be able to use operating systems such as Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Mobile.
