Sony Announces PlayStation Mobile Plans for Vita, Certified Devices
Sony has finally announced its plans for PlayStation Mobile on Tuesday with a "full-scale launch" in nine countries this fall.
PlayStation Mobile will launch in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Japan, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Australia with 30 new titles from a variety of categories, including Adventure, Action, Puzzle and Sports. Titles will be created both by third-party publishers as well as Sony's own SCE Worldwide Studios.
the company is planning "bite-sized games" which will play on PlayStation Certified devices, which include Android smartphones and tablets as well as the PlayStation Vita.
Titles will be purchased from the PlayStation Store, where they'll be tied to a user's PlayStation Network ID. According to Sony, that means that one PlayStation Mobile purchase can be played on any Certified device tied to that user ID.
In addition to the PlayStation Mobile news, Sony announced that ASUS and Wikipad have been added as new PlayStation Certified partners, so expect some new supported hardware from those companies in the near future.

Kazuo Hirai on Where He's Taking Sony 
Where do you think personal technology will be in five years?
People are moving more and more to the mobile space, so the two keywords, and you’ll probably hear this from everybody: smartphones and tablets. Related to that is moving a lot of things to the cloud. That’s why, for example, we felt that it was very important that we acquire the 50 percent of our joint venture in Sony Ericsson and make the cell phone business or the smartphone business a 100 percent-owned subsidiary of Sony. We needed to make decisions a lot faster.
You’ve been emphatic in some of your public statements in saying Sony is going to be a company that makes things.
What I’ve stressed actually is a Japanese word called kando. Literally, it means to move people emotionally. That’s what we’re all about, moving people emotionally. Or, simply put, to put a big smile on our customers’ faces around the world. That connects everybody with Sony, whether you’re an engineer improving picture quality on an LCD television or you’re a video game producer. That’s why I’ve stressed the phrase “one Sony.” It doesn’t matter which part of Sony you’re from; it’s all about bringing that kando.
Does Sony have any potential blockbusters in the pipeline on the level of, say, the Walkman?
One of the challenges that I’ve given to the R&D folks and the product development guys is, let’s see if we can come out with products that fundamentally change consumer behavior. That’s what the Walkman did. That’s what the PlayStation did and many other Sony products, fundamentally changed the way consumers behave. One of the things that encouraged me personally was that as I became president on the first of April, the design center presented me with a huge thick booklet of about 200 product ideas. Some are really far out in left field; others are like, you know what, these we can do tomorrow. It just showed that the creativity within Sony is certainly still vibrant.

So many 2013/2014 rumours! I think after IFA we should move to the new 2013 forum
. Anyways nice to see few rumours pop in every now and then..
@smclion102,
I have high hopes from kaz and the future sony. Hope they do deliver it! One of the biggest problem is they dont advertise properly about their features, but on the other hand, you have some manufacturers that will write off and advertise smallest things and sell way more!

I never claimed I am an insider, Did I?
Nor am I claiming my posts to be 100% true. And as for whether people should trust what I post or not, they are free to read this entire thread and cross check whether whatever info I posted turned out true or not. For eg. Xperia SL, Xperia SX and a whole lot more.
Well clearly a lot of people do think you are one, and you seem to like it (avmaxfan did too lol). Don't give people false hopes is all I'm saying. You should write that it is rumors from china. In my experience very little from there is true. It's a good source for pictures though
I am not giving anybody false hopes.
If I was a guy who only wanted to give false hopes I would have created a lot of noise about the supposed Xperia Z, C, E Y and other fairy tale devices. But I didn't and told nobody to believe those rumors as they were fake.
And for anyone who thinks I am giving false hopes to people here and posting baseless and crap rumors here, I insist you go through this entire thread right from Page 1 and verify whether the info I have been posting since the beginning of the year turned out true or not.
But yes you should wait till CES 2013 and decide whether I am posting useless info or credible info. And if someone thinks I am only posting fantasies with no connection to facts, they are free to criticize.
P.S. This post isn't meant to start an argument or fight. I was just making it clear that I am not giving people false hopes !. I would appreciate if we can move on with rumors and nobody quotes my post to argue further.
And although much of the info I shared here did turn out true, I cannot guarantee that every single info I post here should be believed to be the absolute truth as I am only posting rumors and not FACTS.

Sony trademarks ‘Exmor RS’ – new camera sensor on the way?
Sony Corporation recently trademarked “Exmor RS” at both the United States (USPTO) and European (OHIM) patent offices. Sony has used its current Exmor R camera sensor in a range of devices including cameras, camcorders and of course Xperia smartphones. It looks like this new version will also be applied across a variety of technology, judging by the Goods & Services description within the trademark.
We thought Sony may be branding their new stacked CMOS sensors as Exmor RS, but there hasn’t been any evidence of this thus far so this is likely to be an entirely new sensor. We look forward to see what improvements it brings over the current back-illuminated Exmor R that is superb for low-light imaging.

I will believe it when I see it. There are rumors every year and by the time the phones hit the market only like 25% of the rumored specs and feature appear on the final product.

I look forward to the new RS. From what I have seen from some recent new Sony phones the cameras have finally improved since Ericsson days. Even the 5 meg cameras on the Go & the U are very good. Looking forward to the 13 megs
