PlayStation Phone

It started with a couple of tantalizing leaks. Then the leaks kept on coming. Now...well, now this is getting almost farcical. No, Sony did not officially announce the PlayStation Phone at CES this week -- but that hasn't stopped Chinese site IT168 from obtaining yet another leaked unit, and what's more, reviewing it.

Well, putting it through "evaluation efforts," anyway, according to Google's translation of the website (via Engadget). But of particular note here is that we now have a lot more details about the technical specs of the phone, at least as far as this model goes (which, to be clear, is not necessarily the final version that'll go to market). According to IT168's write up, the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Adreno 205 GPU, along with a 1GHz Snapdragon QSD8255 processor. This evidently results in the phone producing a graphics benchmark of 59.1 frames per second.

More details include a 4-inch LCD screen, 5 megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash, 512MB RAM, 512MB ROM, a microSD slot, SIM slot, and micro-USB connection. There's also, of course, a new wave of pictures and videos of the device provided, which also show off its menus (which are all in Chinese, naturally).

So, once again, all that's left now is for Sony to finally put their horse before their cart and announce the damn thing already. Maybe at GDC next month?
