XPERIA PLAY: Pure, unadulterated gaming

After years of waiting, here's something, the one device that'll make any gaming aficionado go weak in the knees, the Xperia Play is out folks!

As we've heard for ages now, it'll run Android 2.3 Gingerbread on a 1GHz Snapdragon processor with Qualcomm Adreno 205 graphics and will display how fluid gaming can be on a sizable 4-inch, 854 x 480 multi-touch screen, the combination of which Sony says will provide 60 frames per second playback and manage up to 5 hours, 35 minutes of battery life in a single game session with the slide-out PlayStation Certified controller.
Gaming credentials aside, you're looking at either a quad-band GSM or CDMA and EV-DO smartphone with a 5-megapixel autofocus camera, LED flash, stereo speakers, Bluetooth and WiFi functionality baked in, as well as Sony Ericsson's Timescape UI.

The phone comes preloaded with a "legendary" PSone game,not disclosed yet, as well as a bevy of popular Android games including Asphalt 6, The Sims 3 and Tetris.


It's launching in March, and will be available on Verizon (a US exclusive) in "early spring,"
