The mantra of the 00s is convergence, and Sony Corp ADR (NYSE:SNE) is teaming with BT Group (NYSE:BT) in one of the most useful convergences yet. The companies announced plans, confirming a report by our sister blog JoyStiq last September, that Sony will add cell phone capability to their Playstation Portable.
In partnership with British telephone giant BT Group, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe announced a four-year deal to develop and market the hardware and service. The product will initially be offered in the U.K. BT's broadband network Openzone will also be part of the deal, which would allow Sony to add online gaming to the Playstation Portable.
This is another step toward what I call the Holy Ark of Mobility -- a mashup of cell phone, gaming platform, iPod, video viewer, web browser, camera, video recorder, e-book reader, television remote, garage door opener, car lock remote, and thermometer. With this device and my long-wished for concierge monkey, my life would be perfect.
