to me this thing looks hideous, but the psp fanboys will be probably go nuts.

It does seem like a step backwards.

I think as far as a PSP/Phone combo goes it is pretty good.

Well, since I have the advantage of knowing Portuguese, I'll let you know that's just a mock-up done by the magazine for one of their predictions for 2008.

They themselves state they have a fertile imagination ("imaginação fértil"), and place the odds of it ever existing ("probabilidade de vir a existir") at 35%.

The wierd thing about their mockup though is that they state it would not have a UMD slot. Games would have to be loaded onto M2 cards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but entire PSP games can't fit onto M2 cards, can they?

Regardless, they make a good point that Sony-Ericsson could tap their portable gaming division, just as they already have with the Walkman, CyberShot, and even Bravia lines.

Edit: oops, i realized after posting that the Debunk link above already stated everything I gleaned from the image!

I saw that concept a couple days ago. VERY cool! Why don't they make something like that? I'd think something like that would sell extremely well.

They could put a 5-$600 price tag on it and still sell an obscene amount of them.
