Sony Now Owns Sony Ericsson In Its Entirety.

Sony swooped in with a deal worth €1.05 billion (or $1.45 billion). So a real hunk of change, then.

"We can more rapidly and more widely offer consumers smartphones, laptops, tablets and televisions that seamlessly connect with one another and open up new worlds of online entertainment," said Sony's gaffer Sir Howard Stringer.

We wonder what impact this will have on future PlayStation products. It certainly raises the potential for PlayStation Suite, and Sony's PlayStation Certified initiative. It might fit into a couple of paragraphs, but this is big news.
