Reports are suggesting that Sony will start work on an iPhone conquering “cellphone/game gear hybrid” as early as next month.
Reports and rumours of a Sony gaming phone are nothing new. Last month Sony Ericsson president Hideki Komiyama admitted that a PlayStation mobile “could happen.”
Now Japan’s Nikkei business daily is reporting that work on “a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones” will start next month.
If such device does go ahead it’s likely to feature its own app store, like Apple’s after Sony earlier paved the way for non-gaming PSP applications.
