Unwired View found a Sony Ericsson patent filing of what looks like a Play Station Portable (PSP) phone!

From first glances, it already looks like a PSP as based on the phone’s controls. It’s swivel screen looks like it could add a new way to play – perhaps swivelling it would immediately bring up some set of option settings are something. From the illustrations, it can pause the game and allow the user to take a call and then resume again.

Nokia’s N-Gage platform would certainly be toasted if this phone ran all the current PSP offerings. So is this the future of gaming? Everything in one handheld device? Personally, I think it would be cool if they had a method to dual boot the phone and run Windows Mobile in addition to the PSP gaming. I’m not sure, but I would think perhaps it would run some sort of boot loader that loads an intermediary operating system which then loads both Windows Mobile and PSP allowing it to switch with just the touch of a button without the need to perform any resets. Well, just a couple of ideas – I don’t even know if that’s doable.
