  I'd really like to see a successor to the Xperia Play in Sony's lineup. This time around, hopefully we'll see more cutting-edge hardware (the 1GHz Hummingbird was a bit dated for the time, in my opinion).
  
  I say this because I've played with the phone in person, and the experience is actually very nice, and the controls felt great.
  
  Other than the Play, Sony's lineup so far doesn't appeal to me, especially with the rumors of the Galaxy S III surfacing now, which appears to be impressive.

  Xperia Play had MSM8255 with A205 and not Hummingbird.

  Sorry, you're right.
  
  That just emphasizes my point though, since the Snapdragon was a predecessor to the Hummingbird.

  Snapdragon- Qualcomm designed ARM v7 compatible chip
  Hummingbird - Implementation of ARM Cortex A9 single core by Samsung.
  Absolutely different...

  At least 3 wins already for the ST-E U8500.

  Which is the third win?

  Samsung Beam

  So combining those three devices would create the Sony PUS?

  U8500 might not be that exciting but coming A9600 is one hell of a SoC, 2.5 GHz Cortex A15 and PowerVR Rogue.

  If that's true it'll be pretty badass. A15 designs are looking really strong compared to older A9s, and Rogue is a huge upgrade over Series 5.
