Speaking to the Financial Times, Hideki Komiyama said that a PlayStation phone "could happen". Contrary to Komiyama's thoughts on the subject, Sony executives reportedly told Ericsson that the only way such a phone would find its way into the world was if Sony itself produced it. (In case that sounds confusing - Sony Ericsson is a joint venture from the two companies it gets its name from, not a Sony subsidiary). Does this sound to anyone else like Komiyama's thrashing around for any possible way to save his suffering business? The company has suffered of late thanks in no small part to its failure to produce a smartphone that could compete with the iPhone.

Which I interpret as meaning NO PSP Phone in 2009.
iPhone has come and taken the world by storm integrating a truly portable computer with a phone. And Sony... they are releasing a PSP with a new lick of paint. What I don't get is that they have so many diverse companies yet it seems like they are burying their head in the sand and are oblivious to what their competitors are selling. Time and tide waits for no-one, but maybe I'm wrong and the market will still be as welcoming to a PSP Phone in September 2010.
