在上个月曾有传闻称索尼将会推出一款使用Android 3.0版系统的PSP手机，虽然这个传闻经过多个专家分析可信度不高，但是索尼SCEA高级副总裁Peter Dille则给出了比较模糊的回答，他表示索尼今年不会推出新款Playstation品牌移动产品。

索尼的暧昧态度依然给大家留下了许多的猜想空间，现在索尼网站上又出现了一条招聘信息，他们正在寻找一位高级服务器工程师。在要求列表中，索尼特别要求需要具备Android移动开发经验、在线游戏经验和云服务体验。

索尼想要推出什么样的产品或服务呢？

首先是PS游戏移植，尽管在照片列表中还没有其他关于Android的职位，但这并不意味着它不会发生，或许索尼现有的工作人员就已经在进行PS游戏的移植了。而招聘信息显示，索尼还将有可能推出Android平台的在线游戏。

微软的Windows Phone 7就采用了手机与Xbox Live相整合的游戏中心服务，如果索尼的PS系列产品能与Android手机相融合也会极大的增加竞争力。

另外一个可能还是PSPgo Android手机，一部主打游戏功能的Android手机将会补上目前Android系统手机游戏存在的短板。

当然也有可能是索尼要开发一个正常的应用软件，用于发布相关的新闻和消息，其中包含有Android系统版本而已。
