Sony's got lineup of competent mobile device like Xperia phone, PSP game console, Walkman music player and so on but its presence in mobile market is relatively declining these years because of iPod and iPhone booming.

To counter this, Sony made a decision to combine their unique mobile products. There's no saying the exact detail on new lineups, but they will be based on Android OS and include a new game console and a tablet PDA.

Sony has been leading Japanese mobile device industry with quite a few small-yet-high-performance products. Starting from their famous Walkman of 1979, there were so many unique devices like passport-sized camcoder "Handycam" CCD-TR55 and one of the first slimline laptop VAIO PCG-505. They are also making an effort on further portability with TransferJet wireless technology and "rollable" ultra-thin OLED displays.

Can Sony bring another evolution on mobile device market? Its anyone's call.
