Sony CEO: New Device Coming Soon

Okay, everyone take a deep breath.

Before we start jumping off to conclusions about a new, PSP phone coming our way, the only thing that Sony CEO Howard Stringer has announced is that the company is working on a new “touch screen device” that features web services and more features.

It sounds vague, but hardly anything we can pin a “PSP Phone” tag on.

This is the big headline at Know Your Mobile (sourced from Know Your Cell) and while we are all thumbs for an impressive Sony smart phone that actually plays UMD games –there is not real announcement yet and this is not the time to start making rumors about it.

Though on a side note, we would really, really want to see the Sony PSP Phone made.

The news here however, is that Sony is working on something new. The fact that Apple is being mentioned in a context of comparison places the possibility of two things: first a device that is pretty similar to the iPod Touch which would mean that the old Sony MyLo would be making a comeback in an entirely new form. Or second, Sony is planning to launch its’ very own touch screen tablet device –a solid possibility since Sony’s VAOI team has already been working on some pretty impressive mini-net books.

Well, since we are on the topic of a potential vaporware with the PSP Phone, here is a quick rundown of things that we would actually like to see if the device ever gets made; first off, dual analog sticks for better gameplay control, a built in camera (unlike the Chotto Shot accessory) and of course, a hot swappable SIM reader and support for 3G connectivity. Anyway, that is enough wishful thinking for now.
