New Sony Ericsson phone integrates with PS3

Sony Ericsson has introduced their latest touch screen phone today, the Aino, which they promise will integrate tighter with the PSP and PS3 consoles than any phone they have ever released.

The Aino is a touchscreen slider, with a full number pad under the 3-inch screen. Users can use the Remote Play "feature to listen to music or watch videos from the console when away from home."



An additional feature, dubbed 'Media Home', will allow users to sync content from a PC using Wi-Fi as long as the phone is being charged. The phone also includes an 8.1 MP camera including image stabilization. Expandable microSDHC slot allows for up to 32GB in extra memory, and a free 8GB card comes in the box.

The phone, available to North American and European consumers, will be available in the fall.

No price was revealed.

  I have moved over from nokia to sony erricsson cause they have become more reliable. The funny thing is that i left erricson before they teamed up with sony cause i thought that erricson was lagging behind and had to many problems ohh how they have improved over the years.

  I love SE phones. This isnt the nicest looking of the bunch--but being able to sync media to it is great.
