First Playstation Phone images

It looks as though the unofficial announcement was true, as pictures on a foreign magazine appear of a Playstation Phone, branded as a Sony Ericsson PSPhone. Take it with a pinch of salt, though; it could be a fan-made mockup.

It looks as though it has been designed with a slide mechanism that goes both up and down, with the phonepad in the usual position for a phone, and the D-pad and analogue nub on the top. Of course, you'd then tilt it 90 degrees anti-clockwise to play games.

Are Sony milking the franchise cow with this product? With Skype on PSP Slim models, it looks as though they're approaching every possible angle, but we'll have to see what sort of features the PSPhone will boast before we can judge if it's hot or not.
