PSP Phone specs found (wanting)

We smell fakery

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. µ

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.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
