News: Sony Ericsson’s PS3 phone

Sony Ericsson has released the Aino, a mobile phone that accesses your PS3.

The Aino is designed with PS3 users in mind, as it can wirelessly access the media content of your PS3 from anywhere in the world, as long as you happen to be in a wireless hot spot at the time.

Using the Remote Play function of the PlayStation 3 console, the Aino can access photos, videos and music files from your PS3 and play them back on the phone.

The Aino includes Media Home, an application that pulls media content from Media Go on your PC. Users insert the Aino in its charging stand, and it automatically synchronises with the latest media content on your PC.

“Sony Ericsson has established itself as THE communication entertainment brand and Aino highlights our commitment to bringing the latest communication technology to the marekt in fun and innovative ways for consumers to enjoy”, says Steve Wilson, Managing Director, Market Unit Oceania of Sony Ericsson.

“Media Home and Remote Play with PS3 are key steps in broadening the entertainment experiences users can enjoy on their Sony Ericsson phone and gives a taste of our vision of the future.”

The Aino has a recommended retail price in NZ of $999.
