There’s no denying that the PSP Go, Sony’s newest portable gaming console, looks a lot like a touchscreen smartphone (think Blackberry Storm) when it is closed.

It makes us wonder what it would take from the Japanese consumer electronics giant to offer one version that comes with the features you’d expect to find on an iPhone and more.

Yari will be the first one

Japanese-Swedish phone maker Sony Ericsson will pack its future handsets with the Flexion technology from Accumulate UK, according to a global licensing deal the two companies signed and announced recently. According to Accumulate UK, Sony Ericsson becomes this way the first handset vendor around the world to include mobile games with Flexion on new mobile phones, based on the success Hutchison 3G UK has had.

As many of you might already know, it was only recently that mobile phones started to come to the market with pre-loaded games. Games are now seen as a necessary component of any mobile phone, yet they were only considered a means of cheering oneself up before. Full versions of games were present on handsets previously only after phone makers paid publishers license fees for them.

However, Accumulate UK’s Flexion technology is meant to transform the costs handset makers register for having full game versions pre-loaded on their devices into a revenue stream. What it is meant to do is to make users curious about the content on their devices and allow them to try out games before they purchase them, while also offering them ‘rent for the day’ or ‘have-a-go for 25p’ options, the company states.

“We are delighted that Sony Ericsson has taken this step together with us. We have been preloading Flexion enabled games with operators for a while now with very good results. With the help of Sony Ericsson we will extend our reach significantly,” Accumulate’s MD Jens Lauritzson commented on the agreement between the two companies.

The Flexion technology has been also designed so as to promote games similar to the ones pre-loaded on the handset, something that should end up in new trials and sales. According to Accumulate, this move is called ‘on-device retailing.’ The technology is to be included first on Sony Ericsson’s Yari device, due for release before the end of the year.

Oooo its got the satio

The WinMO6.5 packin Xperia X2 according to the French, is due to be hitting stores shortly.

Apparently the Xperia X2 will be seen soon on store shelves in France, supposedly within the next two months. It’s quite pricey though the cited price is some 600 Euros which is approximately $800 and this doesn’t take into account carrier subsides.

We will need to keep our eyes and ears open for some more information on that. We are looking forward to seeing how the new OS can handle itself. Although looking at it we don’t really think thst the resistive touchscreen nature of the device holds out very much hope.

New commercial is out.. Just with se-lifestyle

You’ve seen the Sony Ericsson Pureness on video already, but if you were wondering how much the translucent telephone will set you back when it hits stores in November, we’ve got an answer for you. Read on for the pricetag, but take a deep breath and a seat first…

It’s no smartphone, but the Sony Ericsson Pureness is certainly the most outlandish mobile we’ve seen this year, and that includes the LG’s Watch Phone and Crystal slider. It may rock a traditional candybar shape, but it’s also got a see through screen.

Still, what price can you put on a phone that reflects the “purity” of water, eh? Oh right,  apparnlt the cost would be for this phone is £530, but is it not confirmed. Look for the Sony Ericsson Pureness in the posh department store come November.
