Sony PSP Phone and Tablet may Become Reality

by Jay Garrett on March 8, 2010

The mythical PSP Phone as well as an iPad baiting tablet may well slip out from Sony – Well, that’s how the Wall Street Journal sees it.

Sony CEO Howard Stringer is looking towards Apple for inspiration in order to bring success back to Sony’s door.

The Japanese company is already making steps with its Sony Online Service having iTunes firmly in its sights and add that to a bunch of new mobile gadgets to use SOS – it sounds like plots are forming.

The report claims a source says that there will be a PSP-phone and an iPad style tablet that “blurs distinctions among a netbook, an e-reader and a PSP.”

These new devices will join the PSP Go and get access to SOS which will enable them access to games, music, movies and, more-than-likely, e-books.

I’m just hoping that Sony has looked at and taken on-board the feedback received after the lower-than-expected sales that the PSP Go has had thus far ;)

I’m interested to see what Sony come up with and must admit – I’m more than a little excited by the prospect :)

by Jay Garrett on November 12, 2009

freerunnerTrying to grab a free Wi-Fi connection when you’re out and about can be a bit tricksy – especially if you’re not in the largest of towns.

Soon sidling up to your nearest Phones4U may help.

Phones4U has become Freerunner’s (the free public Wi-Fi network) first UK commercial retailer.

Freerunner Wi-Fi will head to 450 stores across the UK will start immediately.

Ok – Technically this Wi-Fi roll-out across Phones4U stores in the UK is supposed to be for staff and customers so they can test the handsets online grooviness before deciding on their new tech.

But there’s a new place in town to head if you need a free online fix ;)

Brendan Sweeney, MD of Phones 4U says: “Free public WiFi in our stores will allow our team members to show off our market leading range of products to the best of their ability and allow our customers to connect for free as they are browsing”.

All you need is a free coffee from somewhere…………
