We are not friends any more
It looks like there will be no PSP Phone in the works after Sony has
blocked plans for mobile gaming gear.
Talks between Sony and Sony Ericsson
have broken down putting the idea of a PSP phone on hold. The games blog
sites were all a abuzz wit the idea of a PSP on the most cutting-edge technology
Sony Ericsson had to offer. It looked like Sony Ericsson wanted to develop
a phone to capitalise on the growing popularity of casual gaming and
music.
The fact that Sony refused to sanction the use of the PlayStation
brand has prompted a fall-out between the gaming and phone divisions. Apparently
Sony will only allow its mobile phone division to use the brand if it never
spoke to Ericsson ever again and made its own phones.
Now the pair are not
talking and will probably not invite each other to each other's Christmas party.
