Sony Ericsson wants, can't have, PSP phone

Hot on the heels of Sony Ericsson's worrying results (further and further into the red we go) comes a rumour that the phone manufacturer approached one of its joint-venture daddies, Sony, to ask if they might possibly, pretty-please, use the PlayStation/PSP brand for some gaming-oriented mobiles.

"No" was, apparently, the answer. It seems Sony wants the user experience on a PSP phone to be as good as that on an actual PSP. Madness.
