Sources have it that Sony Ericsson is hard at work developing a PSP Go-like phone running on Android 3.0 platform. According to Engadget the phone targets gaming fans and resembles somewhere between a Samsung Captivate and the PSP Go.
The slider phone will have a touchscreen that will be between 3.7 and 4.1 inches with WVGA resolution or better and a landscape slide out game control panel. In place of the joystick the device will have long touch pad for analog controls along with the standard PSP buttons. The device will be running a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU and have a custom skin overlay on Android 3.0.
Android market will have a separate section devoted to the PSP Gaming device. Titles currently being mentioned included: God of War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and LittleBigPlanet. The game area will only be available to Sony/PSP-Go phone owners but also may become available to other Android 3.0 devices if they are equipped with the proper control panel.
Engadget believes that it’s possible the phone and ecosystem could be introduced as early as October of this year but there has been no confirmation to this.
The release of device may be just what Google needs to set the path for future gaming on the Android platform. With the increase number of Android smartphones coming out every month a whole new gaming market may be just what Google needs to stiffen the completion against their competitor, Apple.
