Sony Ericsson has launched the PS3 compatible Aino mobile phone handset.
The strategy offers Foggy Minimize functionality, enabling users to access and curb their PS3 media delighted on the go via a provincial network or the internet.
Sporting a 3 inch TFT open out, the handset replicates the buttons of a PS3 controller on its give rise to retouch small screen. It lets owners face a PS3 on and off, flip and hold sway over the XMB interface, access the internet and any DRM bountiful media contented saved on the impenetrable push, inscribe in to the PS3 network and bulletin friends, snitch on for items in the PS3 outlet and peer at and take down animate telly using PlayTV.
