Japanese paper pegs PlayStation Phone for spring launch

launch a gaming system on a phone in the next few months, here you go:
Japanese rag Asahi Shimbun says that the PlayStation Phone -- which
could be known as the Zeus Z1, Xperia Play, or something else
altogether by the time it's on store shelves -- is expected in the
spring of 2011 for a North American and European release. That lines
up with virtually everything we've been hearing lately, and it's also
fortuitous timing considering that both CES and MWC are right around
the corner; we don't know what Sony Ericsson might have on tap for
CES, but we definitely know they're planning some new Xperia-branded
models for MWC. There are many questions left unanswered -- how (and
if) any of this ties into the standalone PSP2, how gaming titles will
be purchased, and how many models will be available that support the
platform, just to name a few -- but hopefully Sony can clear all that
up here within the next few weeks.
