“Playstation Phone” Coming to Canada

Canadians will be able to purchase the unique Playstation Phone coming this Spring 2011.

The Xperia Phone features a big touch screen and a pad that slides out to show control buttons similar to the Sony PlayStation Portable. The phone is a  strategy change for Sony and a new look for the Sony Ericsson, which is struggling to enter the U.S. market again.

The phone shape is similar to the PSP Go, which is a version of the PlayStation Portable.

The Play phone will run on Google Inc.’s Android operating system and play modified PlayStation games that won’t run on other phones.

The phone is appealing to video gamers but is not expected to impact aggressively against the leading competitors; Blackberry & Iphone.
