Looks pretty cool, cell phone gaming with an input system actually designed for it!

"Sony Computer Entertainment has so far had no involvement in presenting the Xperia Play to the press or public. Aside from those symbols, there's no PlayStation branding on the device itself. So where exactly does the Xperia Play fit in?

Your pocket? Only just. This is a big, fat, heavy phone. At 119 by 62 by 16mm, it's bigger than the iPhone 4 in every dimension. However, the key figure is that 16mm depth. It's 70 per cent thicker than Apple's device (at its thickest point – it has a curved back) and, at 175g, nearly 30 per cent heavier. It feels weighty and bulky – although to be fair, it also feels substantial, and its curved surfaces sit comfortably in the hand.

When shut and held in portrait mode, this could be any Android phone, with back, home, menu and search buttons below the screen. This exceptionally large, bright and sharp 4-inch display might be the Play's greatest virtue."
