Playstation Phone Up Close and Personal

Playstation PhoneVideos of Ericsson's much rumoured "Playstation Phone" surface online, if in blurry form on a Greek blog.

In translation, the phone's name is Z1 (Zeus) and runs Android 2.3, with a 4" screen and 8MP camera. What makes the device special is the joypad control, complete with Playstation-style shoulder buttons.

It is said the phone carries a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 chip, 512MB RAM, 1GB ROM and supports microSD cards.

In 2 close-up videos one can see a Playstation icon on the screen. Sony are supposed to open an App store-style offering games for the device.
