To play or not to play - while you're away :)

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play

 Hello everyone! Have you missed me? Strike 1, strike 2, strike 3 and… you’re out! I guess I’m out and about… to write about something… well, where was I? I can’t find my keys and I’m not talking about Alicia cause she’s hot anyways. That’s it! Stop playing already, those people have gathered here to read opinions about a cool gadget not about some random guy’s mumbling nonsense.

 Most of you heard about Playstation at least once or twice in their lives. The PSX or the PSone console was a huge success back in its days, then the PS2 followed. The PS3 set new standards for the gaming console by also acting like the living’s room Media Center. The PSP or the Playstation Portable was and still is a breed of its own – striving to get portable gaming to a new level.
What if you could use your PSP to place phone calls? But what if you have to answer an incoming call from your mom or gf while your game’s main character gets chased by a gang of green goblins wielding baseball bats? The game would pause automatically just like the Nokia N-gage used to.

 The Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play combines the PSP’s hardware controls with the skills of a full touch Android Smartphone. The OS is 2.3 Gingerbread meaning that the web browser supports Adobe Flash 10.2 and various enhancements that could replace your netbook/notebook on the go. The screen estate is 4” wide and at 854x480 pixels resolution playing games, surfing the net and editing documents (using the onscreen keyboard) is a sheer pleasure. The connectivity options cover pretty much everything from Bluetooth ver.2.1 with A2DP to Wi-Fi, 3G (video calling is a no-go) and GPS (if you ever miss the bus stop from playing games).

 Under the hood there’s a 1GHz Scorpion processor (Axy take care not to sting yourself :)), Adreno 205 GPU, Qualcomm MSM8255 Snapdragon chipset and 512 mb of RAM. The internal user memory is up to 400 mb and a 8GB microSD card is included in the standard sales package. The onboard camera snaps 5MP stills and shoots WVGA video at 30 fps.

 To sum it up the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Play is an interesting gadget bringing Android OS and Playstation experience altogether in your pocket.

 As usual feel free to express your own opinions on this. Stay tuned for more, see ya!
