Kyocera demonstrated their new dual-screen Android-based gaming phone recently.
In a recent demonstration of upcoming technology, Kyocera unveiled their latest bid to break through in the smartphone community with the new Kyocera Echo. The Echo is a dual-screen Android-based smartphone designed with gaming in mind. Unsurprisingly, the Echo looks extremely similar to a Nintendo DS, and the game being demonstrated, The Sims 3, looked and ran very much like it's DS counterpart, albeit with improved graphics.
The Echo is set to hit US markets on the Sprint network later in 2011, but many have concerns that the phone will not become the great gaming platform it's being touted as. For one thing, the phone uses another fork of Google's Android SDK, the Sprint SDK, limiting game developers to producing titles for one product line on one network. It's unclear whether the Echo will benefit from the upcoming PlayStation Suite from Sony, but early indicators are that the two titles launching with the phone won't be getting much in the way of competition due to the games being so severely limited to just the one device.

Sony officially announce a new PlayStation Suite Service, which allows Android users to play their favourite PSOne games.
Sony today officially unveiled their new PlayStation Suite service, which will be available later this year. The PlayStation Suite service will allow users of select Android-based systems to utilize the service in order to play their favourite PlayStation One games. This will also include non-Sony devices, giving the company a wider audience to target.
The PlayStation Suite is set to launch later this year, and while plans for future compatibility are unknown at this time, Sony has commented to say that it will be "starting" with PlayStation One games, hinting at the potential for compatibility with other platforms' games or even brand new titles. The PlayStation Suite will also feature on some of Sony's upcoming devices, including the upcoming successor to the PSP.

Engadget reports Sony is Planning a PlayStation Phone based on the Android Operating System.
After long-term speculation about a potential PlayStation phone, Engadget has today released a report claiming that Sony-Ericsson is presently working on a phone based on the Android Operating System.
Rumored to be a cross between the PSP Go and the Samsung Captivate, early mock-ups seem to suggest a mobile phone appearance with the PSP's d-pad and button layout in a slide-out keypad. PSP-capable titles such as God of War and LittleBigPlanet are said to be cross-compatible with the new device, while non-PSP releases, such as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, could be "on tap" for the mobile device.
Sony has yet to confirm that the phone is in the works, but could be waiting for either Gamescon or the Tokyo Game Show to announce the new device.

Search Engine giant Google reportedly working on new social gaming network to compete with Facebook.
Hot on the heels of the news that GameStop has acquired Kongregate comes news that Google is planning to launch their own social networking venture aimed at social gaming.
In a news release published by the Wall Street Journal, reports surfaced that Google were in talks with game developers Playdom, EA's Playfish, and Zynga to help build a base of games for the launch of their new service. This supplements a previous report of Google "secretly" investing $100 Million into Zynga as part of a strategic partnership for the upcoming service.
Google, meanwhile, have remained silent on the matter of their alleged new social network, saying that the world "doesn't need another Facebook knockoff." This comment brought further speculation that the new gaming service would be another tie-in to existing Google Accounts, a fact that also suggests potential native Android capabilities which would allow Android users easy access to the service.
At present, no time frame, specifics or confirmation has been released by Google.
