Ultimate Portable Entertainment System Makes Its Debut This Year,
Further Expanding the PlayStation® Business in the Portable Gaming Market
Tokyo – Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) announced its next generation portable entertainment system (codename: NGP), which delivers the ultimate portable entertainment experience. NGP will make its debut at the end of the year 2011.
NGP is designed to offer unparalleled interactive entertainment that is only possible on PlayStation®. This new system offers a revolutionary combination of rich gaming and social connectivity within a real world context, made possible by leveraging SCE's experience from both PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) and PlayStation®3 (PS3®) entertainment systems.
Deep and immersive gaming is at the core of PlayStation's DNA, and NGP is the latest embodiment of this vision. By having both Wi-Fi and 3G network connectivity, together with various applications, NGP will enable infinite possibilities for users to "encounter," "connect," "discover," "share" and "play" with friends wherever they are. Within the device are a range of features that provide a genuinely cutting-edge, next generation ultimate portable entertainment experience.
・Stunning OLED and Revolutionary User Interface
NGP incorporates a beautiful multi-touch 5-inch organic light emitting display (OLED) as the front display. A high-performance CPU / GPU combined with OLED enables rich, visually striking graphics never seen before on a portable entertainment system, for both games and other digital entertainment content. The new system also incorporates a unique multi-touch pad on the rear, and together with the front touch display, NGP offers new game play allowing users to interact directly with games in three dimension-like motion, through "touch, grab, trace, push and pull" moves of the fingers.
・Super Oval Design and Dual Analog Sticks
While succeeding the basic design philosophy of PSP, NGP adopts the Super Oval Design form factor, created to fit comfortably in users' hands. For the first time, a portable entertainment system will feature two analog sticks, which enable a wider range of game genres to be brought into the portable experience.
・LiveArea™
Every game title for NGP will be provided with a space called "LiveArea™" where users can share the fun and excitement with other players. Users will have access to the latest information of games provided from SCE and 3rd party developers and publishers through PlayStation®Network. Additionally, NGP users will be able to view an "Activity" log that is constantly updated with accomplishments from users who are playing the same game, which in turn can trigger active real-time communication among users.
・Near
SCE will also provide location-based services on NGP as part of the basic features utilizing PlayStation Network. The new application called "Near," developed specifically for this service and the network, will be pre-installed in the system to let users find out what their friends in the vicinity are playing now or what they were playing recently. Users can meet their friends and new players virtually, regardless of what games they are playing, simply by sharing their game information across different dimensions of time and distance.
・New Game Medium
NGP adopts a new game medium, a small flash memory based card, dedicated for NGP software titles. Taking advantage of the flash memory feature, this innovative card can store the full software titles plus add-on game content or the game save data directly on to the card. By adopting flash memory based card, SCE will be able to provide game cards with higher capacity in the future, allowing developers to store more game data to deliver rich and immersive games.
NGP will also come equipped with two cameras on its front and rear, as well as three motion sensors, gyroscope, accelerometer and electronic compass, all of which are designed to enable users to enjoy the world of entertainment that is linked with real life experiences.
PlayStation®Suite (PS Suite), announced today, will also closely coordinate with NGP. The newly developed and released game content for Android™ based portable devices can also be enjoyed on NGP. As a result, users will have access to not only the most leading-edge content, but also some of the more casual experiences that typify the mobile market place.
SCE will vigorously promote NGP towards the launch as the next generation portable entertainment platform and deploy various measures to further expand the portable gaming market.

DroidCon: Tattoos and Android™ benchmark ambitions put Sony Ericsson in focus
Sony Ericsson was the benchmark for JavaME, and wants to be the same for Android™. That, and a bunch of temporary tattoos, put Sony Ericsson in focus at DroidCon.
Last week Sony Ericsson participated in the two day DroidCon event in London, UK. The event gathered 400+developers and industry professionals, all keen on discussing the hot topics in the Android world. The Developer World team from Sony Ericsson was there to talk to developers about Android development, and spread the word about Sony Ericsson´s commitment to Android.
Sony Ericsson also had one keynote session at the event, where Karl-Johan Dahlström and Erik Hellman presented their thoughts under the headline Android behind the scenes. In the session, Karl-Johan Dahlström emphasised Sony Ericsson´s strong commitment to Android by stating that Sony Ericsson is aiming to be the Android benchmark, similar to how the company became the JavaME benchmark back in the days. Dahlström explained how Sony Ericsson developed that platform since the early start into an industry standard well known for its performance, stability and consistency.
- We will do the same with Android, Dahlström said.
Dahlström and Hellman went on to explain how this will happen, by naming a number of strategies where the most important one undoubtedly is to contribute even more to the Android Open Source Project. The duo also shared some insights in the design behind Sony Ericsson’s phones, by explaining how design concepts like Human Curvature™ and Precision by Tension™ are used as cornerstones in the creation of a great user experience.
- Going forward Sony Ericsson will have a strong focus on Android, and will continue to build the successful Xperia™ brand, by bringing together the world of Android and the world of Sony in beautiful hardware and software designs, Dahlström said.
A steady stream of visitors passed through the Sony Ericsson booth during the two days. Many were interested in the new Sony Ericsson LiveView™, a micro display that connects to an Android phone by Bluetooth™. By popular demand, the Developer World team made a not yet released pre-version of the LiveView SDK temporarily available to developers during the hackathon that took place in during one of the nights. A number of exited Android developers then went on to create LiveView plugins all night.
But the biggest hit of all at the event was the temporary tattoos provided by Sony Ericsson. A long line of eager developers were happy to get their own Developer World tattoo.

Web SDK Packager to become open sourced under the MIT License
We are excited to announce that Sony Ericsson will be open sourcing the WebSDK Packager tool that allows for rapid development of applications for Symbian and Android devices. This will open up new opportunities for creating mashups to generate new GUI based tools as well as add new platforms. We believe this will enable continued innovation for web applications on mobile devices. The WebSDK Packager tool is based on the wildly popular open source tool called PhoneGap.
In the next few weeks, Sony Ericsson will be making the WebSDK Packager tool source code available, which will be contributed to the Open Source Community under the MIT license. Sony Ericsson believes that open sourcing WebSDK Packager tool will allow the developers to take advantage of the work that Sony Ericsson has done around web technologies. The tool is available for download today from the Web SDK Packager page of the Developer World web site.
For those not familiar with PhoneGap, it is an open source development framework for building cross-platform mobile apps that run on different mobile platforms including Android, Symbian, iPhone®, iPad®, Palm® and BlackBerry®. The PhoneGap open source code has been downloaded more than 250,000 times and there are thousands of PhoneGap-based apps in various platform stores.
If you’ve already got a mobile app built with Sony Ericsson WebSDK, or if you’ve got a mobile app idea in the works, enter your application in the Ericsson Application Awards 2011 contest. EAA 2011 is an exciting competition that allows developers to:
gain exposure for their applications within the telecom world
