Rumor: Sony will launch PSP cellphone without Ericsson
Hmmm, this is a nice rumor, too bad if we miss it. But this is true, wouldn’t it be nice if we could have ourself playing around with PSP (Play Station Portable) that let us use it as a cellphone too? Yes, I know you might answer me with the same thing, don’t you?
Well thanks to Sony, by announcing their Sony Ericsson F305 (mobile-gaming cellphone without any PSP brand name) in Communic Asia 2008 last week, a rumor (big one) has emerged that this Japanese seems trying to avoid its PlayStation brand name for their joint-venture with Swedish, Sony Ericsson. A trusted source, via Marketing Week, said that Sony won’t give this brand to SE since both of this company had experiencing a “frosty” relationship.
The reason for this frosty thing has been a public secret I think. As we had already known, this company have lost their position as the world’s fourth largest cellphone maker after they were being taken by LG in this Q1 this year. Perhaps, Sony’s insider thought that putting PSP brand name into Sony Ericsson will leave them in loss condition similar like what had happened to Walkman or Cyber Shot brand name.
Ugggh … I personally disagree with this opinion! If only Sony feel that they were being taken down by this joint-venture then Ericsson might want to respond just the same. And why not?
Upsss, I probably had gone too far with this issue. Let’s get back to Sony PSP cellphone. Is there any suggestion for the “arrogant” Sony regarding this PSP series? Yes, I do have! Simple, just give me a cellphone that could act more than a Nokia N81 series can.
