Peter Dille: PSP Could Use a Cellular Data Connection
Well if this rumor doesn’t get more legs as each day passes us by. It wasn’t but a couple of days ago that the supposed PSP Phone’s prototype was leaked for all to see, and now Peter Dille – speaking with at a fireside chat – believes that iPhone gamers aren’t satisfied. With that belief, he says the PSP could use a cellular data radio so users can enjoy internet gaming without the need to find a WiFi connection.
Dille refers to iPhone games as “time-killers,” something I bet he’d hope to remedy with their offering (that he isn’t confirming or denying, of course.) Instead, mobile games should be experiences more than something to get you through boring patches of the day. That’s exactly what a PSP provides, and that’s exactly what a PSP Phone might be able to do.
A spokeswoman from Sony also stated that they have “relationships with Google,” but they could just be talking about their new Google TV products. Or are they? We’re not buying the idea that a PSP phone doesn’t exist, of course. There are mountains of evidence pointing toward just that, and Android looks to be the horse pulling the carriage along. The fact that they have yet to outright deny the existence of this device should automatically raise a few flags. E3 couldn’t get here soon enough.
