For anyone who wasn't watching TV this weekend and wasn't paying attention to the ads running during the Super Bowl, Android and Sony released a commercial to debut Xperia: the device that has been dubbed "The PSP Phone". Set to be released on Feb. 13, this commercial has been ready the world for it's stunning gameplay.
Intriguing? Yes. Kind of creepy? Definitely. Creative? Absolutely.
The stage is set for Sony to be Apple's biggest rival in mobile phone gaming. The Xperia totes a full display and separate D-pad and buttons where the iPhone integrates it on-screen. This allows for full screen gaming and a more handheld gaming device feel.
Running on Android 2.2, Xperia will be the first Android device to focus mainly on gaming. Sony has not confirmed what games will be available for a full line-up as of yet but they have plans to unveil a new games app store at launch. This will touch base on a previous post on Android and Sony confirming PSOne games to be playable on Droid phones this year. Makes sense that they would bring PSOne games to the table. I hope they confirm Einhander for their lineup so it would force me to grab an Android phone.
Let's hope that after all is said and done the Xperia is as good as it's being hyped up to be. The last thing that we need is another N-Gage to be out in the wild.
