Speculation around Sony's plans to launch a PlayStation-branded gaming smartphone are at fever pitch today, following a series of leaked photos of the device.

Gadget blog Engadget bagged the scoop, and has more details on the specs of the handset.

It suggests that the phone will run Android 3.0, and will have a 1GHz Qualcomm chipset inside, along with 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and a slide-out PlayStation joypad.
