Sony patent filing hints at touchscreen handheld

A mysterious Sony patent office filing discovered today reveals that, at the very least, the company is entertaining the idea of a multi-touch handheld with phone capabilities. Even more mysterious than that is the name of the patent inventor: Phil Harrison. Harrison was the former head of Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), and now works for publisher Atari. The Sony patent officially states the device would be a handheld with "a touchscreen" and "pressure pads" running along the edges. Kotaku notes that there's no mention of the PSP, or PSP2, but the patent does mention use in phones, gaming devices and portable media players. If true, you can bet this would be an E3 announcement with a winter/holiday release. Then again, patents get filed all the time and never see the light of day. By Ms.Bobby Aanand, Metropolitan Jury.
