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

Righty – you love the retro vibe, perhaps wearing some cool Space Invader tights, but you’re rocking some modern headphones – you’ve ruined the look!
You could get yourself some mighty fine Koss Porta Pros, which I’ve owned and loved but they might be a little ‘off-the-shelf’ for someone as cool as you.
May I present the ‘Tracks’ headphones from the fantastically named Danish company – Aiaiai!
These have a distinct whiff of the Walkman ‘phones and are admittedly styled on the personal audio classics which must’ve helped Sony beat Phillips in the compact cassette player wars back in the 80’s.
You get the comfy foam ear-pads that slide on brushed steel head braces.
Whilst their looks are stuck in my favourite style period the ‘Tracks’ are 21st Century with the latest in driver technology and you should be getting decent audio from the 40mm speakers.
These will also play nice with Blackberry’s and iPhones so there you go.
£44.50 will get you stepping out from the crowd!
