PLAYSTATION PHONE (AND): PlayStation Phone in the spring

Gradient provided by the announcement rumors for last December 9, new rumor about so-called PlayStation Phone (Z1 or Sony Ericsson, as it might actually be called) have appeared on the Japanese press, promptly translated by Kotaku. This is for the more than confirmation of news already given, with the addition of a release date that was fixed to the spring 2011 for Europe and the United States (and which is in line with a presentation in February during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona).

The specifications are those notes: check the "hidden" with the central trackpad instead of analog stick, touch-screen from 3.7 to 4.1 inches, 2.3 Gingerbread Android operating system and lack of support for UMD and Memory Stick.
