In what has become the most common sense non-secret in the industry, the Playstation Phone has gotten a few more details courtesy of Endgadget. Codenamed “Zeus,” the latest specs of a possible prototype includes an Android 2.X OS, as well as an extended touch pad in lieu of analog sticks, as well as a pull-out panel featuring both face and directional buttons.
Sony had originally claimed the story and its included images as “definitely fake,” but has since retracted its response to its usual non-comment on speculation. Endgadget, however, insists on the Phone’s authenticity, citing “multiple, trusted sources…and we’re not just talking about good tipsters – some of our information comes from people much more closely connected to the project.”
It needs some cosmetic upgrades, but I think this could be a good device, I’d certainly buy an iPhone with PSP quality games.
It does look bland, but at least it has two analogue like touch pads, instead of just that one Nub.
Playing games on the psp has made me oh so glad there was only one analog stick. Was definitely odd at first… but games like Dissidia and Crisis Core left me relieved that it didn’t have one. I just hope games don’t change too much with the second stick… because the games on the psp are really well done once you get into them.
And we shall call it…The PSP!
Ahhhhhhhhh, I got it. Clever you.
