After losing the MP3 player battle before it seemingly even began, Sony is reportedly trying to fuse its PSP and Sony Erickson mobile phone into a product that can compete with the iPhone.

Reuters reports:

Sony Corp is considering developing a cellphone-game gear hybrid in a bid to better compete with Apple Inc’s highly popular iPod and iPhone, the Nikkei business daily said on Saturday.

… Sony plans to set up a project team as early as July to develop a new product that combines functions of its portable game player and Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones, the Nikkei said.

Hmm, setting up a project team this late in game? The phrase ‘too little too late’ comes to mind.
