First Real Video of PSP Phone

The Sony Ericsson Z1 PSP Phone has finally been spotted in the wild. In the video below, an anonymous user shows off some of the features of the device for the camera, including the tantalizing PSP Android app and its associated games folder. Unfortunately, the games folder remains empty for the moment, presumably because Sony is still working out the details of the system. We expect that the phone will be fully backwards compatible with the PSP catalog of titles, which will be purchased and downloaded inside the App from Sony's PSN service. In the video below, we get a good look at the phone from all angles. To accommodate the slide-out controls, the Z1 is a little bit thicker than many modern handsets, but it should still fit comfortably in a pocket. Others have complained that the L and R buttons look too small and fiddly, but we think they look just about right. Hopefully we'll hat a look at some actual in-game footage soon, when Sony gets around to officially announcing the thing.
