I thought one thing everyone with a PSP asked for was the ability to make calls and shit. A PSP phone is a win in my book. I don't see how people could not see this type of integration coming. Phones, media devices, gaming devices all in one, what's not to like about the idea? Granted it might not perform as great as each device separately but down the line it most likely will.

Just another way Android is diluting itself.

Hardly.

Android was intended for MASS adoption from day one. This is not a niche OS and it shouldn't be.

What's the record Quadrant score? I think ARon asked this, but now I'm curious. Clearly, CPU speed doesn't matter anymore, since the G2 beats a stock Droid X.

Yep, the iPhone is all three. The difference is, you can get laid having an iPhone and playing some sort of game requiring an accelerometer. You can't get laid flipping the PSP Phone out and playing GTA with the controls. It's not cool. It's for lames. END OF STORY.

No one owns a PSP now. WTF will this do to change that?

It's for a niche, this phone. And what carriers will it be on? If they want the biggest market, they'll go VZW. So...I get this phone I think is GOAT, but then I realize it has no LTE. So two years with this shit and it's like buying a 3GS today to keep for another two years. As technology moves forward, this phone's users can beat the last level of Ratchet and Clank and then put it to the side and beat themselves off to sleep.


Again, cool concept and it'll have everyone talking, but it will be a sales flop for Sony. Apple needs to buy them out like some rumors suggested in the past.

Wait...watch the next iPhone take this concept, revolutionize it, and make a killing.

Ain't nothing lame. Lames catch feelings we catch flights, lol.

If this comes out with 3.0 like people are saying then there is no reason what so ever it won't be lte capable. Plus multi player gaming over lte or 4g on the psp phone = win. To think that Sony or Google would oversee that is pretty luda.

Most hardcore Android users are pretty hardcore gamers since the techs go hand in hand like that, so I can see this device being a favorite of most Android users.

If the Nexus Two hasn't been mentioned to have LTE it (not saying it will or will not), then how can they say it for this one?

So if it DOES have LTE, what will T-Mobile customers do? Will they not get it? What about Sprint?

so anything other than an iphone is uncool. other phones have accelerometers too. so your comment there is invalid.

Woo, CM 6.1 is out!!

Z-System comes with time-travel capabilities: Is Z-System the gaming platform of Sony Ericsson’s PlayStation Phone? | larsa | Androinica)

 

[THEV1LL4N]

ooohhh im all tingly inside!!!

this does support apps2ext2 doesnt it?

 

[dilla]

Dunno. I rarely worry about features like that. As long as it's fast and responsive, that's all I care about. I never used apps2sd because I had to reformat my sd card and I'm too lazy to do it. So...

Probably gonna end up sticking with my current ROM, UD 8.0.

 

[Casey]

this does support apps2ext2 doesnt it?

No

Cyanogen personally told me they never put it into the ROM because nobody on the CM team needs it any more. But apparently there's an easy script to do it now.

At this point I'm gonna say fuck it, back up my apps, reformat my card and just install them with the FroYo apps2sd method.

^^ for goodness sake!!

Now this is getting interesting.

Rumor: Samsung to announce the Nexus S November 8th? | larsa | Androinica

This should be taken with a large grain of salt, but it has been suggested that Google’s rumored follow-up to the Nexus One not only will be manufactured by Samsung, but also that Google and the South Korean manufacturer will officially announce the device November 8th in New York, as the Nexus S.

People have linked the closing of the Nexus One Forums, the pending release of Android 2.3, and Samsung’s November 8th event and come to the conclusion that the next Google phone will be made by Samsung. According to Android and Me, several sources that are familiar with the project have all said the same thing: the Nexus One’s successor will ship with stock Gingerbread (Android 2.3) and Samsung will provide the hardware.

Even more interesting rumors have emerged, thanks to a tip RadioAndroid received. The info is from an “anonymous tipster”, which doesn’t sound very reassuring, but this is what the person said:

The name of the device will be Nexus S
It will be a Google experience phone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread
It’s going to rock the same 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen as the Galaxy S series
It will be powered by the Hummingbird CPU, just like the Galaxy S
Rooting the device will be easy, like it was on the Nexus One
Carriers or CDMA are unknown, but it will at least have GSM
The phone will lack hard buttons on the face, similar to a Vibrant
It may be unlikely, but if the supposed love child of Samsung and Google indeed is true, and it’s powered by Samsung’s next-gen dual-core Orion processor
