Following on from our recent story about the unearthed Sony Ericsson patent for a phone displaying a suspicious similarity to the PSP, we can report that Sony Computer Entertainment Europe CEO, David Reeves, has denied that a PSP phone is in development.

Speaking to games trade website, MCV, Reeves said, "I know the head of Sony Ericsson very well. He has a Walkman phone and a Cybershot phone available, but I know nothing about a PSP phone.

"I haven't heard anything about it at all – and I would know. They wouldn't develop it without our knowledge."

Of course, that's not to say they won't at some point. We'll just have to wait and see how this develops.
