(Mashable) -- The fabled PlayStation Phone has finally surfaced, and it is definitely packing Google's Android OS.
A
few months ago, rumors surfaced about the existence of a PlayStation
Phone, a hybrid mobile and gaming device with a 5-megapixel camera, 1
GHz Snapdragon processor, slide-out gaming pad and the Android Gingerbread OS. While those reports contained several details concerning the device, there wasn't much in terms of proof.
Now Engadget has delivered strong evidence
that the device exists. The technology blog has posted a series of
crisp pictures of the device, and unless someone went to extreme lengths
to create a false prototype, it looks legitimate to us.
Engadget
reports that the PlayStation Phone sports 512 MB of RAM, 1 GB of ROM
and a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 Snapdragon chip. It includes a multitouch
touchpad, trigger buttons and microSD card support. The device is being
built by Sony Ericsson.
The Android-based gaming phone is still a
prototype according to the report, so it's unlikely to arrive before
the holidays; we'd bet on a Q1 or Q2 2011 release.
We're
itching to get our hands one of of these bad boys. We want to find out
if the PlayStation Phone can make Android into a gaming powerhouse on par with the iPhone, or whether the device will go the way of the N-Gage.
