You know that tablet PCs are not good enough for gaming. And that’s a fact that goes with almost all tablet PCs that we know. But, with Sony’s endeavor to launch a PS Pad, you may want to reconsider that opinion.

Besides,  the Sony Playstation Tablet (also known as Sony PS Pad), which is believed to be Sony’s answer to Apple iPad is also under works and should surface officially some time soon this year.

A unnamed web service, presently referred to as, Sony Online Service, which is just like the Apple iTunes, will savor the PS Pad. If the Sony PSP Phone and the Sony PSP Pad strike reality soon enough, Sony could think of bolstering its hold in the portable devices arena.

It seems that the Sony PSP Phone will boast all the features of a smart phone as well as consume the traditional game sport of the Sony PSP.

You can expect the Sony PSP Phone to support all or at least most of the PSP lineup of games. Even if it does not, Sony is already working on many new titles.

This should definitely sound similar to Sony Ericsson’s recently launched F305 Gaming Phone. Is Sony planning to battle with Nokia’s N-gage platform? Will Sony PSP Phone will create a niche for itself in the market? Are they going to skim down the bulky PSP into a sleek and stylish PSP Phone?
