Yup, that’s it. It’s obviously a Sony Ericsson device of some sort, and through all these photos, looks rather appealing. But other than the picture and that it will be announced at CES 2012, there’s no other info to go by.

Sony Will Buy Out Sony Ericsson’s Stake In Joint Venture
Remember how Sony Ericsson came to be? No? Well, let’s just get to today’s news. Sony has agreed with Sony Ericsson to buy out their 50% stake, therefore completely gaining control of the company in a joint venture, and allowing Sony o more tightly integrate SE devices into their Sony line of products. Ericsson has agreed to a €1.05 billion in exchange for its 50 percent stake, and if pending regulatory approval allows it, the deal will be done in January of 2012. This effectively means that the Walkman is nearly dead, and that the SE brand will be many times more active. Press release after the break.

AT&T Announces The Xperia Play In Blue And With 4G HSPA+
The Xperia Play is headed to AT&T with HSPA+ radios and the same 4-inch LCD screen with a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. After handling it at AT&T’s holiday preview event here in New York City, there are two noticeable things about the AT&T Xperia Play. One, it comes in “Stealth Blue”, and two, uses the Timescape UI on top of Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, and not Vanilla like the Verizon variant.
And here’s a bit of welcome news: whereas the games for the Xperia Play were sold on Verizon’s V Cast apps store (essentially a crapware kingdom), according to the AT&T rep I spoke to, will instead be sold in the AT&T tab of the Android Market. This is a much better idea.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Play Review
Is this — the PlayStation Phone? Yeah, pretty much. Although I think an actual PlayStation Phone from Sony (not Sony Ericsson) would have been a better idea, the Xperia Play is “PlayStation Certified” by Sony and built by Sony Ericsson. Running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, a 1GHz Snapdragon processor, dedicated PSP-like controls, CDMA 3G service on Verizon Wireless, a 4-inch WVGA LCD, and front with back-facing cameras, the Xperia Play should have been the gaming phone of the year, right? Not so much. Let’s see why in the review, after the break.
