Is this Sony\'s handheld console ?

I talked to a friend of mine who works at Ericsson.

He says that site is quoting a 2 year old press release so I doubt its actually true. Not to mention Ericsson is still losing money so poring money into a risky project would not be that smart.

Sony does not own Ericsson. Ericsson and Sony entered a partnership where they formed the company SonyEricsson (flashy ay?)

Sony CE\'s top boss has been talking about a possible handhelled console though, he said they were just testing a few possible solutions (ie. batteries, storage format (MD?))

If anyone is going to release a handhelled it most likely would be Sony, trying to expand to new areas.

What would SONY name their hendheld if it\'s true?

Let\'s see:

PlayBoy!

PlayMate!

GameStation?

KidStation

Kid\'s Play?

GameBoy Station?

Playboy and Playmate sounds the catchiest but don\'t think it\'s goes too well in a kids market...parents will be enraged!!

Hmm, it will be part of the PlayStation brotherhood but I reckon it will have its own cool name. (Like Sonys new network, CoCoon or the VAIO computers, or the handhelled CLIÉ computer. Something cool like that.)

I do believe Sony is in some type of partnership or own part of Ericson, because all the cell phones from Ericson, now ay Sony-Ericson on the top, so that would lead me to believe they are some way connected!

Edit: Sorry had not read all posts b4 poster, Faston said it all.

If Sony entered the handhald market, trust me, Nintendo would have every reason to be worried.

If they had an internal lithium rechargable battery, and ac adapter that came with it, they could deffinetly give Nintendo a hit in sales.

all i can say is YUK YUK YUK YUK YUK! is that thing some sort of deformed dildo?! g-zus, i can say this however.

every single system that tried to dominate the handheld market was SLAUGHTERED, its been 13 years now and nintendo\'s got a stranglehold on the market. it started with game gear- dead, sega nomad (which i thought would beat anything what with internet and all)-dead, neo geo- dead, wonderswan- well only in asia... so ericsson better cross their fingers cuz nintendo\'s gonna write their name on the wall in blood. IMO anyway

hey did anyone see the panasonic gamecube? true i hate gamecube but MAN ALIVE that thinng looks cool, brished steel, glass front, remote control, cool blue LCD, functions, functions, functions...
