Sony's new phone -- simply dubbed the "Playstation phone" -- has appeared in more pictures. And if there's ever an indication that it's Android-based, well, here you go. It's still very much in prototype form, according to Engadget, but the pictures are unmistakable. This bad boy is Android, through and through. Sure, a custom skin is more than likely. But still.
Above, you see a picture that closely resembles what was predicted in August. Here are the rumored specs:
- Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)
- Custom Sony marketplace to buy games designed for a device like this
- 1GHz Qualcomm MSM 8655 (200MHz faster than the G2, but the same new architecture, apparently) -- by the way, that's the same system-on-a-chip as we just saw in the myTouch 4G/HD benchmarks we posted.
- 512MB of RAM/1GB ROM
- MircoSD slot -- no Sony Memory Stick -- thank whomever it is you thank for that sort of thing.
- The screen is between 3.7 and 4.1-inches -- that's a pretty large range, and we're learning toward the larger end.
So when we get down to it, we're looking at Sony's bad-arse Playstation controller coupled with high-end hardware -- higher than just about anything currently available, actually. So the hardware should be set. Let's just hope the software and UI don't blow it. More at the source link. [Engadget]
