why do you (or anyone) want HDMI out on a phone? It's running Android so if there's something on it you want to watch just plug it into a PC in mass storage mode.
Yeah, I'm wondering if what look like optical touchpads can ever be as good as OpenPandora's flat analog nubs.
No, tilting isn't required, especially for a gaming device. I've played hours of Advance Wars on my n810 and have never wished for a tilting screen.
No, four shoulder buttons are not required. Very few games need them.
Yes, 512MB of ram is enough. A PS3 only has 256MB of system RAM and 256MB of video RAM and it needs to support 1080p video. A playstation phone won't have a full HD screen so it won't need as much vRAM.

1) I had a good look on the pictures and it seems like it *may* not have a removable battery. And if Sony do this it would make sense because they did it with the PSP Go to stop people using the PandoraBattery to flash CFW. But Sony has come under high critisizim about copying Apple which put customers to a great disadvantage. All in all, I know nothing about this "prototype" besides Sony's history, current knowledge, and speculations about their implementation.

2) The PSPhone won't have a HDMI-out, or at least this will be disabled for any PlayStation game... they want you to buy a PS3 aswell. I just pray they dont be greedy and leave it in, but that is highly unlikely as I've pointed out.

3) ... tactile response is something we take for granted, and we see its true value when we try to play fps/3d games on Android/iOS/webOS

4) Tilting isn't required ... but man would it be sweet if it was implemented! I mean I have larger hands/fingers and even on the Milestone, hitting the volume rocker with the keyboard out was a chore ... it needs to be easy and comfortable for a true gaming experience (plus the tilt screen is better visible outdoors as sunlight doesn't hit it directly to create the infamous glare)

5) 4 shoulder buttons aren't required ... but man would it be bloody terrific if they were there. I mean, it means so many more ways to interact within games. See this for an example how a 3D dbz game could be implemented nicely if we only had the 2 extra shoulder buttons

6) 512mb for Sony is heaps ... for Android it is not. I mean we will see much more featured Apps on Android and having a larger RAM will make these run much more smoothly especially 3D games. Plus the original PSP launched with internal hardware that was bleeding edge for a couple of years, if the PSPhone only gets 512MB that will never be the case, saddening many fans.

Sorry, that blog was bollocks. I'm siding with Capt'n Corrupt (may I nickname him CC?)
