Reuters reports that Sony Corp is working on a cellphone/game player hybrid to better compete with Apple’s iPod Touch and iPhone, which means that its develop team will invent a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones.
This action may be Sony’s measures to compete with Apple’s iPod Touch and iPhone platform. There is also some relevant report claims Sony was talking to major recording companies about providing downloadable music to the Playstation Portable (PSP). While Apple’s devices aren’t dedicated gaming machines, there is a clear overlap in audiences and the App Store has started attracting major gaming developers such as Capcom, id Software, and Square Enix.
The PSP has sold over 50 million units worldwide in the past 4 years, while Apple has already reached over 40 million units sold in the past 2 years. Whether Sony’s new product can keep abreast with iPhone or not, users will give us a clear answer later.
