Sony Ericsson Aino’s PS3 Remote Play capabilities get detailed — no games, just media playback

Sony’s got a lot of housekeeping to do before it can quell the infighting long enough to produce a proper PlayStation phone, but the upcoming Aino‘s PS3 Remote Play features sound like a tentative first step. According to a Q&A posted on the Euro PlayStation blog, the upcoming slider handset will be able to use Remote Play to connect and control a PS3′s XMB through the internet, but you won’t be able to play PS1 games like you can on the PSP — you’ll be limited to media playback, browsing the PlayStation Store, and chatting on PSN. Yeah, it’s kind of a missed opportunity, but at least we can hope future handsets will expand on the capability a little, just like the PSP had remote PS1 game playback added in after the fact. We’ll find out when the first Ainos ship in the UK in October.
