Sony Ericsson: New Satio phone can play "PlayStation games" |

Remember the Sony Ericsson Aino? The phone that could sync up with the PS3 and let users manage their PS3-stored media? Yeah, another Sony Ericsson phone just did it one better by being able to play PlayStation games.
The new phone, the Sony Ericsson Satio, was unveiled during a media launch held at the Red Dot Museum in Singapore last week. The phone was actually first introduced as the "Idou" in Barcelona. here's a quote from Hirokazu Ishizuka, Sony EricssonÂ’s Corporate Vice President and Head of Asia Pacific Region:
I think we are very confident of our own solution--entertainment unlimited. Not only music entertainment experience but also imaging, cyber-shot technology and we have a 12.1 megapixels camera. On top of that, you can enjoy your PlayStation games so therefore this product is so powerful and we are very confident of this productÂ’s success.
It was never explicitly stated what kind of "games" these are, but I think we can rule out any PS3 games right now. The only games mentioned were Asphalt Road and an unspecified Prince of Persia game, both of which will be in ninth High Definition (nHD) format. Maybe it'll also get some of the smaller downloadable games being readied for the PSP Go?
If you're thinking about saving up for this, there's a bit of a catch. The Satio's content library -- which will include downloadable games, movies, music videos and applications -- is reportedly exclusive for Asia Pacific consumers only. The Satio's also on the worldwide SE website too, though, so chances are those'll still be released worldwide.
The Satio is expected to be released this fall. Here's a video of it:

Anyways, it looks like they're just using the "Playstation" trademark. I doubt it will be anything like PS1, PS2, PS3, or PSP games.

notHD is lower resolution than my PC from 1993. Not that it matters, if Sony can make it as fun as that PC was then... ;)

Atleast this phone still has the 4.3 screen unlike PSP GO!
If PSP Go! had 4.3 screen, I would still wait for one of these because my grandma says to me, PSP GO! it looks like a cell phone, is it a cell phone? NOOOOOOOOO! THEN WHY BUY A DEVICE WITH A SMALLER SCREEN!
I told her, she still hates it and wants a PSP phone with 4.3 screen and this phone actually delivers the screen.
All they need now is add in the buttons and such like how they turned the Mylo 2 into the PSP GO!
This seriously will end up being the PSP phone, lets hope PSP GO! fails, so this comes out as the replacement guys.
Seriously I bet one last ditch effort, if PSP GO fails big time, they will release a PSP Phone.
PSP Phone atleast kept the screen size same. All they did with Mylo 2 is change the keypad to PSP buttons and make the screen smaller.
They will do the same thing with this, if that fails.

This means a higher pixel density and a clearer picture. I prefer picture quality over size, ntm it's still bigger than the iphone/touch screen.

If flash games like that run crap and their cheaper to obtain then the psp type game downloads, then who is going to even look at this thing to play PSP type games - no1. First impressions. The SE handsets have always had *****e OS's to boot, couldn't wait to swap that old K750.
Normal games are *****e on my iphone, touch screen crap, stick to my PSP for a proper experience. I doubt VERY much it will even get PSP "equivalent" games as previously stated above.
20c worth.
