Less than a week after unveiling a prototype of the oft-hyped PlayStation Phone, Engadget has revealed more pictures, and some more slight details.
The device is codenamed “Zeus” and the prototype, at least, is running Android 2.2. The phone is expected to launch with 2.3 Gingerbread.
Furthermore the smartphone will come with an 8GB microSD card, a minimum of 512MB internal storage, and be around 17mm thick, almost exactly the same as the PSPgo.
From the original report:
Engadget says the phone will hit the market “soon,” likely in the Q1 2011.
The device will run on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), with a fast 1GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 processor, 512MB RAM, 1GB ROM and a 4.1-inch screen.
In the gaming part of the slide-out, the PSP Phone has a multi-touch touchpad, shoulder buttons and a microSD slot.

Nintendo has announced that they will be unveiling the next iteration of the DS line, the 3DS at the E3 event later this year, but today mockup pictures have shown up on a Japanese blog, and the design shown off by the site is interesting to say the least.
Their is one large touchscreen, which splits two simulated screen for DS backward compatibility, and games can be played vertically and horizontally.
The device can also take pictures, scan pictures, place 3D images on real backgrounds, “3D pointing,” and more. 3D Pointing “tracks the movement of the user’s finger, including distance, to manipulate an object on screen,” says Kotaku.
