Google and T-Mobile let the world oogle its newest creation today (September 23, 2008), the T-Mobile G1, the first Android-enabled phone with (according to the press release) “full touch-screen functionality and a QWERTY keyboard with a mobile Web experience that includes the popular Google products.“ It’s obviously meant to compete with the iPhone but, then again, what new cell phone isn’t?

Also according to T-Mobile’s press release, the Andorid phone will offer gaming capabilities but specifics - game buttons, game titles, developers, etc. - have not yet been officially announced.

Rumors can be exacerbating especially when shrugged off with a cold shoulder.  Another rumor has been officially dismissed as if it was the most ridiculous thing that could possibly happen. There was a report in the Economic Times of India on Wednesday (November 17, 2007) that led to strong speculation about a Playstation cellphone device, and it seemed credible as it quoted Sony Computer Entertainment’s co-chief operating officer, Jim Ryan, on the issue.

Jim Ryan was quoted as saying, “The playstation is a proven success and so is Sony Ericsson. Convergence with the two arms working together is definitely plausible.” He was even quoted as far as having called it a “seductive” proposition.

But the rumor-flaying reflexes of Sony have become active and it has dismissed the possibility of a Playstation Phone. The company has said that Jim Ryan was misquoted by the paper and the company doesn’t have any plans of a Playstation Phone right now.

Although the rumor has been officially shot down, such plans can not be ruled out in the future. This is because if Nokia’s new N-Gage service catches on with cellphone users then Sony Ericsson might be tempted to seek help from Sony’s gaming division in providing a better gaming experience, which rivals the N-Gage one. 

However, if it ever happens, it might not be a dedicated gaming phone but a gaming service on the lines of the N-Gage platform, as a dedicated gaming phone would also threaten to encroach upon the PSP’s market share.

To go along with newly reimagined Nokia N-gage platform/service, Vivendi Games Mobile is releasing another game in the Crash Bandicoot franchise.

VU previously released a port of Crash Nitro Kart as an N-Gage cart in 2003. The details for the new Bandicoot game were pretty sparse, only indicating that it will follow “the original storyline where the crazy marsupial must save the world” and be filled with the usual antics and humor found in earlier games. No word on release date, exact game title or pricing.
