SCEE CEO David Reeves has denied that a PSP phone is currently in development following a flurry of internet reports last week. The news comes following a story by Spong, which suggested that a patent had been registered for a new Sony Ericsson mobile phone which features a moveable screen that swivels 90-degrees into widecreen mode, and which features a button layout similar to that of the PSP.
However, speaking exclusively to MCV, David Reeves has dismissed the suggestion that a PSP phone is on the cards.I know the head of Sony Ericsson very well, he said. He has a Walkman phone and a Cybershot phone available, but I know nothing about a PSP phone. I haven t heard anything about it at all and I would know. They wouldn develop it without our knowledge.
