When connected you can access all the music and video on your PS3’s hard drive as well as being able to control the PlayTV function (If activated in your country), this allows you to play pause and record TV from your PS3 ! The feature is called Remote play, it allows you to connect to your PS3 from anywhere around the globe as long as you have either Wi-Fi or 3G internet access. The Aino is the first Sony Ericsson phone to team up with the Playstation brand and will work with your PS3. Its called the Aino (not sure they thought that name through very well) and is a 3” touch screen phone with a slide down Keypad. This is the first phone to implement this, as it was previously only available on PlayStation Portable.This is the second addition to Sony Ericsson’s new Entertainment Unlimited brand and I think it just might have have gone to the top spot on my gadget wish list. This allows the phone to be able to turn the PS3 on from anywhere in the world and stream its media files. Like the Sony PSP, the Aino features PlayStation 3 connectivity, called Remote Play. In addition, Sony Ericsson Aino has Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 3G support and Stereo Bluetooth. It also sports an 8-megapixel camera, 3' touchscreen with 16 mln colors and a resolution of 240x432 pixels. Touchscreen features are only accessible in with certain features of the phone. Sony Ericsson Aino is the manufacturers first touchscreen feature phone and its key points are Remote Play with PLAYSTATION 3 and the PlayTV service support.
The Aino uses NetFront 3.5 web browser for internet connectivity. Some third party applications like Opera-Mini also support the touch screen interface. The 3-inch (76 mm) screen is touch-enabled but only in the multimedia part of the menu and the camera interface. It has a multimedia PlayStation 3-inspired touch menu (like XrossMediaBar), a large 3-inch (76 mm) touchscreen, FPS video recording. Sony Ericsson Aino is a touch screen based slider mobile phone.
