PSPhone rumours surface again, why?

In theory, it just won’t work.
I don’t really know why Sony would risk mixing and matching their cell phone and mobile gaming technology. Well, that aside, MarketingWeek is reporting Sony’s latest creation could hit store shelves as early as Christmas ‘09. The article mentions analysts in Japan and Korea say it would be relatively easy to convert the existing PSP models into cell phones. Uh, say what? Have you seen the size of the current PSP’s? Why would you want to hoist that thing up to your ear anyway
Maybe I’m being a bit pessimistic. I’m sure Sony would come out with some sort of blue-tooth headset and some sort of hands free dialing device. The question is: Why do we want this?
The PSP is a nice all-in-one device already. It’s a cheap wi-fi solution, offers music and video playback and plays games. Sometimes less is more and - evolving the PSP, yet again, won’t work. It lacks a full keyboard, for one. Its also cumbersome to carry around.
I love the initiative but unless they can really execute something to make me ditch my current Ericsson, I won’t buy into it.
