Talk of Sony making a PlayStation Phone has erupted on the internet once again as Sony Computer Entertainment's co-chief operating officer, Jim Ryan, states that such a gadget is "definitely plausible". Speaking to the Economic Times, Ryan said, "The PlayStation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson. Convergence with the two arms working together is definitely plausible. It is hugely intellectually seductive to have a console oriented phone. What has been done is finding a match between a camera and a mobile phone, and that has been done wherein the mobile phone features are not reasonably inhibited and the camera is also a reasonably competitive product. It is hugely intellectually seductive to have a console-oriented phone."
Ryan later explained that, should such a device work well, the phone functionality would have to be built into a primarily game-playing machine, not the other way around like cameras in phones. He makes no mention of when a so-called PlayStation Phone device may actually come into fruition. This follows previous rumours sparked off by a patent filled by Sony Japan's Ericsson Mobile Communications dept. for a PSP-looking, phone-enabled device back in November last year. Check that out here, if you can be arsed to read through lines of repetitive, over-complicated jargon.

In other news, Klenex announced today that is is developing the Klenex Phone, which market annalists expect to be somewhat thin, feature-wise, but very light, compact, and easy to fold. A Kleenex spokesman declined to comment on early reports regarding a lack of durability with the phone, only saying that "The Kleenex Phone will provide our customers the strength and durability they've come to expect from the Kleenex brand, but now in a phone." No word yet if JiffyWipes plans to counter Kleenex's phone plans with a model of their own.
And remember, everyone needs a cellphone. What kind is the big question....
There are no Sony Cellphones.

I wonder if Andrex and Charmin Ultra will follow suit with the "Toilet Tissue Phone" :p
