Sony Ericsson is said to be working on a device, codenamed Zeus, that will apparently be part PSP and part Android Gingerbread powered smartphone. This device would likely be boasting Android 3.0 (aka Gingerbread), along with a custom Sony Marketplace which will allow you to purchase and download games designed for the new platform.
The device snapped up sporting a 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 (a chip similar to the one found in the G2, but 200MHz faster), 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM, and the screen is in the range of 3.7 to 4.1 inches. Looking almost identical to the mock-up we hit you with this summer, the handset does indeed have a long touch-pad in the center which is apparently multi-touch, and you can see in the photos that it's still bearing those familiar PlayStation shoulder buttons. For Sony buffs, you'll be interested to know that there's no Memory Stick slot here, but there is support for microSD cards. It’s hard to deny that the device is one of the most anticipated releases of 2011, so keep your fingers crossed.....!
