Sony Ericsson has launched the PS3 compatible Aino mobile phone handset.
The device offers Remote Play functionality, enabling users to access and control their PS3 media content on the go via a local network or the internet.
Sporting a 3 inch TFT display, the handset replicates the buttons of a PS3 controller on its touch screen. It lets owners turn a PS3 on and off, browse and control the XMB interface, access the internet and any DRM free media content saved on the hard drive, sign in to the PS3 network and message friends, shop for items in the PS3 store and watch and record live television using PlayTV.
“Media Home and Remote Play with PlayStation 3 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,” said Alexandre Cardon, Sony Ericsson’s marketing business manager.
