Playstation Phone (Xperia Play), PSP2 Unveiled – rumors confirmed

Months of rumor are finally confirmed when at “Playstation Meeting” Kazuo Hirai unveiled PSP2 ; whilst simultaneously, engadget got its hands on the “Playstation Phone” or shall I say “Xperia Play” . In a pre-review, engadget commented on its durability, playstation pad style buttons, and capability of running games. However they still were not able to verify the processor inside it & were unsure how games will be developed & delivered on the phone. They tested emulated playstation games on it which ran fairly smoothly.

The expected specs are -

• PlayStation style controller
• 4-inch 854 x 480 LCD touchscreen
• 512MB RAM
• Up to 1GHz processor
• 5 Megapixel camera
• Wi-Fi Connectivity
• Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system

PSP2 has been dubbed as Next Generation portable & is the world’s first 3G hand held gaming device. Dubbed as “Next Generation Portable” ,the new PSP2 promises image & animation quality at par with Sony Playstation 3. The expected specs are -

• Wi-fi and 3G connectivity
• Five-inch long OLED touch panel
• Rear panel touch pad
• Motion sensor
• Front and rear cameras
• Dual analogue sticks
• Oval design
• 182.0 x 18.5 x 83.5mm

Hmm..guess a lot of competition will be there in the handheld market with Nintendo arriving with 3DS..
