PSP Phone specs found (wanting)

We smell fakery
Monday, 7 July 2008, 13:46

A NUMBER OF LESSER tech websites than the venerable and always honest INQUIRER are touting what looks like a white paper spec sheet for the much-rumoured PSP phone.

The white paper, which some describe as "a scan" when it is obviously a screen grab (invisible characters, like carriage returns and tabs, are clearly... erm... visible) suggests that the fabled phone will be a Sony Ericsson joint venture and will maintain full PSP functionality as well as a few other new tricks... like making phone calls, obviously.

The phrase 'Rotate the screen to turn into a PSP console' appears. The word 'console' here could be a clue to the document's provenance as official Sony documentation rarely, if ever, uses 'console' when referring to the PSP (try Googling 'PSP console' there's not a single official PSP result in the first four pages).

The document, which appears to originate from a Chinese-language tech site levelup.cn, also hints that the device would have a 2MP camera, the ability to publish podcasts on the fly and nine hours of GSM talk time.

Being the sober types we are, we take the whole things with a big glug of extra salty soya sauce. ยต

Weight?

Have a look at the spec sheet, it weight 250g's, a frickin quarter of a kilo!
Bloddy heavier than the original Nokia brick.
