According to our good friends at the Wall Street Journal, Sony are getting ready to launch a new smartphone and some sort of tablet based device. We could almost call the smartphone a PSP phone as it will be able to play playstation games, and the tablet device will be some combination of a Netbook, e-reader, and PlayStation Portable, according to “people familiar with the matter” who spoke to the Journal.
The new tablet gadget is intended to compete with the Apple iPad, whenever it comes out as well as a wave of other tablet devices that are expected to be released. Were being told that both the “PSP” phone and Tablet device are due to be released this year but there’s no word on dates or pricing.
In a statement, Sony said,
“As already announced, Sony and Sony Ericsson have been strengthening their collaboration in the networked mobile space. However, it is not our strategy to discuss future products or business plans before we make a formal announcement. Any media report that suggests details of the product or business is based on speculation.”
Sony seem to be gearing up to take a bite out of the Apple, they recently announced a new digital music service called Qriocity (pronounced “curiosity”), later this month as a rival to iTunes. Movies, TV shows, music, and video games will be available for download, and these new devices are intended to work with the service.
