(PSP News) Report: Sony weighs creating PSP/phone hybrid - USA Today

Japan’s Nikkei Business Daily reports, via Reuters , that Sony is considering a handheld device blending functions of the PlayStation Portable with the company’s Ericsson phones. Sony plans to create a project team as early as next month to work on a device slated to compete against Apple’s iPhone, Nikkei says. The iPhone has emerged as a major player in video games through downloads at Apple’s App Store. Nikkei’s report follows Sony’s recent unveiling of the PSP go (pictured), an overhaul of their portable gaming device which includes 16GB of internal Flash memory and digital downloads available through an online store.
