Sony to (eventually) marry cellphone, PSP handheld

I almost fell out of my chair when I read this today:

Sony plans to set up a project team as early as July to develop a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones, the Nikkei [Business Daily] said.

“As early as July”! If I have my calculations right, the iPhone has been on the market for two years. Sony & Ericsson should have built a prototype years ago. But now, finally, with tens of millions of iPhones sold, and a million Palm Pre’s, Sony is ready to put that project team together.

Is it any wonder that Sony is in trouble?

About time that Sony does this. I remember when Skype was supposed to be the next big thing for the PSP.. but that did not go very far. A couple years ago some sketches of believed PSP Sony Ericisson phone models had leaked online so maybe we will finally see them?? Who knows..
