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.

Sony could enlist the help of Sony Ericsson to build what become that elusive Playstation Phone. Adding 3G capabilities and a capable mobile operating system to the phone shouldn’t be a problem; from LiMo to Android, the choice is vast.

The PSP Go already comes with a 3.8-inch, 480×272 pixels, LCD screen, swapping it for a touchscreen version should neither be complicated nor expensive and would offer a much bigger viewing screen than most of its rivals

In a similar way, the rest of the configuration would possibly need to be changed as well. The 333MHz processor from MIPS is significantly underpowered compared to say, the 1GHz Qualcomm ARM-based Snapdragon processor.

The PSP Go already comes with WiFi (albeit the slow type) and offers M2 memory storage rather than the traditional microSD. Sony already has in the Playstation Network, a potent rival to Apple’s iTunes and App Store.

Even if the phone cost $500 without subsidies (roughly half the price of the iPhone), it would surely become a hit even if it cost twice that of the new PS3 Slim console.

But most importantly, the Playstation brand is ingrained in the minds of millions of gamers and is synonymous with “great” gaming experience for many. 

The PSP Go was build first and foremost for gamers, with fantastic controls and great games to kick off. Therefore, a PSP Go Phone is likely to benefit from a massive goodwill capital that could match the iPhone.

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.

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.

The Windows Phone Xperia X2 will be released within two months in France at 600 euros, excluding operator subsidies. This slider smartphone offers a 8.1 megapixel sensor and a 16x digital zoom.

According to our fellow site Engadget, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 will be launched in France in November to 600 euros (without subscription).

Equipped with Windows Mobile 6.5, it has an OLED touchscreen WVGA (800×480 pixels) and a retractable keyboard. True to his credo technology, Sony Ericsson has made a camera phone 8.1 megapixel camera with 16x digital zoom, autofocus and image stabilization.

Autonomy announced is 10 hours talk time (GSM) and 500 hours standby. The internal memory of 512 MB is also more consistent than the Xperia X1.Enfin, the device has an accelerometer and a GPS module.

A very recent rumor, Sony-Ericsson have his files in an X3, this time as Android, which could be announced in January.

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.
