Combo of PSP and Android Smartphone may come soon.

This would make Gamers and Geeks go crazy. If rumors are to be believed, the Sony Ericsson is developing an hybrid device for gaming and phoning, powered by Android 3.0.

According to Engadget, Sony Ericsson is working on a hybrid mobile phone and gaming device that is a “cross between the Samsung Captivate and the PSP Go.” It supposedly includes a landscape slider complete with PSP-like controls, a touchpad in place of the joystick, a 3.7″-4.1″ screen, a 5 megapixel camera and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The phone will carry both the Xperia and PlayStation brands.

Engadget’s sources say that the device will run the 3.0 operating system, codename Gingerbread. It will run standard Android apps and will also include a marketplace just for Android-based games, especially ones that use the phone’s PSP-like controls. We could see classic PSP and PSX games being ported to the device via Android apps. The device could be announced later this year.
