Following Wednesday’s blurry “spy” video of the device, we now have a nice, clear “hands on” with the upcoming Sony Ericsson PSP Phone (Z1), although the smartphone still does not have any gaming content available for it.
The oft-rumored device could see an official announcement as soon as December 9th.
It will run on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 1GHz Qualcomm chip, have a 4.1-inch multi-touchscreen, a 5MP camera, 512MB of RAM, a 5 megapixel camera and 1GB of internal storage.
The smartphone will also have a dedicated gaming app store.
Gaming will be made possible via a slide-out control similar to the PSP.

Dell has announced the upcoming availability of the Inspiron Duo tablet/netbook hybrid today, as well as pricing for the device.
The device will be available during the first week of December, and the base model will sell for $549.
Dell’s unique hybrid has a 10.1-inch multi-touch display.
The device runs on a dual-core Intel Atom N550 processor, has 2GB of RAM, a Broadcom Crystal HD accelerator, 250GB of storage, and Windows 7 Home Premium as the operating system.
When flipped into a tablet, the 1366×768-resolution display uses Dell’s Duo Stage UI layer, which is much more touch-friendly than standard Windows 7.
A few of the installed apps are Dell’s MusicStage, VideoStage, PhotoStage, and BookStage.

Barnes & Noble has introduced the new Nook Color e-reader this week, hoping to gain an advantage over the rival Amazon Kindle in the quickly growing e-reader market.
The Nook Color will use an IPS LCD screen, the same type of display used by the Apple iPad.
Barnes & Noble’s new Nook Color will be 7-inches, run Android 2.1, and have eight-hour battery life per charge. Current Nooks and Kindles (using e-ink displays) have battery lives as long as two weeks per charge.
The display will have 1024×600 resolution with 16 million colors.
Additionally, the device has Wi-Fi (but lacks 3G), 8GB of internal storage and a microSD slot.
The Nook Color will also launch with deals with magazine publishers, a strong advantage over black-and-white e-readers.
Available at Best Buy, Wal-Mart and online starting November 19th, the e-reader will cost $250.
