Sony Ericsson showcased its latest mobile phone, Aino, which has the ability to control PLAYSTATION3 and access its media content by using Remote Play with PLAYSTATION 3.
Remote Play with PLAYSTATION 3, initially developed for PSP, enables users to control and access media content on PLAYSTATION 3 from their phone. This can be done via a local network between PLAYSTATION 3 and Aino in your home or via the internet from anywhere in the world. For TV lovers in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and in the UK users can also enjoy the PlayTV service on PLAYSTATION 3 via the Aino. Watch, pause and record live TV from a huge range of free channels via Aino on the go.
Aino also introduces Media Home, an application that pulls media content from Media Go on your PC over Wi-Fi to your phone automatically. Users just insert their Aino into its charging stand and it automatically synchronizes with all the latest media content on their PC. You are always ready to go with the latest content on your phone.
"Sony Ericsson has established itself as THE Communication Entertainment brand and Aino highlights our commitment to bringing the latest communication technology to the market in fun and innovative ways for consumers to enjoy," said Alexandre Cardon, Market Business Manager at Sony Ericsson. "Media Home and Remote Play with PLAYSTATION 3 are key steps in broadening the entertainment experiences users can enjoy on their Sony Ericsson phone and gives a taste of our vision of the future."
