I like this except that if they really want to sell it they have to not only market it really hard (which Sony will undoubtedly do) but there also has to be a…

wildcard. Like the Iphone 4's hi-res screen/thinnest smartphone aspect. If this thing was waterproof or rugged or had a projector in it or something besides just another Android device that is integrated with a gaming platform. It would still sell, but only to the geeks who would look for it.

I have heard the rumors of an amazing looking screen but that's the logical place to go. I mean something to really make it standout. When I say it won't take off I mean it will be like how the Nexus One was THE Google phone so geeks bought it, but because it didn't have a wildcard, it didn't really take off. Yeah the phone had the highest resolution screen at the time, but that's it.(The marketing was horrid as well, but that's besides the point)

Sony needs to stick out to compete with the market, not just other Android devices. Maybe a built in IR capabilities so it can control everything around you and replace all the remotes in your house right out of the box. Or have an insanely fast chip to be able to fly when hooked up to wifi/4g so they can advertise something like 4 times faster than Iphone 4.

Anybody else agree with me? I love the idea of my Iphone and PSP being just one device, but I would have to manage all of my media (music, movies, photos) using different software than I am used to now, download new apps (more $$$), and all of the money I have spent on extra charging cables, stereo docks, etc would be used a lot less. Sony has to motivate me, not just put it out there...

I think the points you make are true for any top-of-the-line smartphone coming out.

They're definitely going to have to have those stand-out features, one of them being the hardcore portable games. The question I have is will these games be exclusive to the PS Phone or will they be open to all capable Android devices?
