REVIEW: Sony Ericsson Xperia Play smartphone

After months, years even, of rumours of a mythical "PSP Phone" Sony Ericsson finally revealed the PlayStation-certified Xperia play at MWC 2011.With the handset finally touching down in the US this week, even more gamers will be able to get some Android/PlayStation hybrid action very soon.
