US Patent & Trademark Office grants Sony patent rights for touchscreen handheld |

Looks like we're gonna be seeing another handheld from Sony sometime in the unknown future. Reports are circulating on the Internet revealing that the gaming giant has just been granted a patent by the US Patent & Trademark Office for a handheld that incorporates touchscreen features.Hmm.. PSP Phone, anyone? Now, now. We don't want to get you all excited over something that is far from being confirmed yet. But for what it's worth, you're free to speculate on this patent's application. Admit it, after that heartbreaking categorical denial from Sony last year, that would be sweet if it did turn out to be the PSP Phone, right?
Interesting, isn't it? The documents show ex-Sony exec Phil Harrison as the inventor for this patent. Now that he's with Infogrames, it's a wonder if Sony will still push through with this. Frankly, we don't see any reason why not. They have been awarded the rights, after all. Besides, another entry in the handhelds arena won't be so bad, too. Competition always drives ingenuity after all.
Anyways, you might as well stack this news at the back of your head for now, cause patent approvals like this doesn't mean we'd be hearing anything substantial soon. Some even takes years to come to fruition. In the meantime, keep those fingers crossed.

Anyway the patent is for PSP2 and some more of Sony's little handheld devices, they have been working on the PSP2 for along time.
PSP2, NOT PSP SLIMMER, I mean a BIG UPGRADE TO PSP!
Anyway if you have played with the device known as Mylo 2, the second Mylo, PSP2 will come out with that and also even more than just that.
I have done my research. PSP phone may come out soon but it may come out around the launch of the PSP2.
You know like the PS1-PS2-PS3.

In fact the only thing that Sony could possibly steal from the DS is having two screens. DS + Dual Screen, get it? That's why the damn thing is called DS because that's the only unique about it, not friggin touchscreen. Moron.

Bring the PSP2 w/Touch Screen

Anyway, I don't they are making both. More like a combination of both. PSP2 will have phone capabilities, that's for sure. The question is when it will come out.
