HTC sent out a mysterious package apparently promising a 4G phone at CES with video calling, Google Android 2.2, and GPS, which may or may not be the rumored HTC thunderbolt for Verizon Wireless.


I got back to my desk today after a few days off to find a small white box from Waggener Edstrom, HTC's PR agency. It contained:
• A space about the right size for a large, slab-style smartphone
• A picture of an Android making a video call in Las Vegas
• A compass
• Four circular buttons with "G" on them in HTC's promotional font
• A "Froyo Lover" sticker
• A foam TV
• An Android figurine
Wrap that all together with recent rumors, and you see the promise of a 4G, Android 2.2-powered smartphone at CES. The most interesting aspect is the foam TV. I assume it means something dull, like carrier-provided video streaming or an HDMI output, but wouldn't it be great if the new HTC phone came with Mobile DTV or some other advanced form of access to many TV programs?
Now before you cry "HTC Thunderbolt," notice that the package didn't have any Verizon Wireless branding or colors on it, and the four Gs didn't include the magic letters "LTE." So this could be a teaser for a new smartphone for T-Mobile or Sprint, both of whom have networks that they brand as 4G.

Portable playstation Phone

SONY is set to compete against APPLE's iPHONE and RIM's BLACKBERRY and other mobile phones through its videogame system. AFP reports that a PLAYSTATION PORTABLE smartphone will be launched in NORTH AMERICA andEUROPE as early as the spring, according to the Japanese newspaper ASAHI SHIMBUN's English edition

Reportedly based on SONY's handheld PSP GO game console, the device would be made by SONY ERICSSON MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS and run GOOGLE's Android operating system. The PSP GO, launched in November 2009, already features software downloads through a wireless connection, allowing players to also browse the Internet, watch movies, playmusic and read books and comics.

The new PLAYSTATION handset would similarly work with SONY's online media platform, the company's answer to APPLE's iTUNES. SONY called the newspaper report "speculation" and declined to comment.
