Sony considers new iPhone rival

According to the Japanese business newspaper Nikkei, Sony is to begin working on a potential new hybrid of gaming device and phone that is designed to rival the iPhone's success.
As reported by Reuters, the Japanese electronics firm is believed to be readying a development team who will begin work on the device in July. Despite establishing the portable gadget market with the success of the Walkman, since the iPod and iPhone's releases Sony has struggled to hold pace in the sector.
The device will apparently combine gaming abilities with the functions of the Sony Ericsson phones, which means the Swedish mobile company will be involved.

Little else is known about the hybrid, but CasualGaming.biz will bring you more information as soon as it becomes available.
