Rumours that Sony is making a PlayStation Phone have been circulating all day. Unfortunately, it's turned out to be a load of nonsense.

Just because they denied it, doesn't mean it isn't in development.

Remember Home? Remember Kotaku? REMEMBER THE HUGE CAJONES!

As much as some people like everything possible in one device, I prefer separate devices for different purposes. That way, if one breaks or the battery dies, I'm not totally without entertainment/audio/contact/whatever.

But yes, it does increase the amount carried. A phone and a games console in one doesn't sound like it'll catch on... NGage style. If I'm gaming, I don't want to be bothered by my phone ringing.

I know the idea of a mobile phone/PSP hybrid (and a set of tech specs) were printed in T3 magazine quite a few months back (Think I made a thread on it at the time).

I agree, but with Sony, it could also be a case of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing [shrug].
