Cue today's release of the Aino, Sony Ericsson's Playstation compatible mobile phone. Did we mention, the thing looks sexy as hell! But how should it interest us Playstation 3 owners?

Well, apart from doing all the typical phone things, the Sony Aino can access Remote Play. Essentially that allows you to turn your Playstation 3 on and off with the handset, browse the Playstation 3's XMB, shop for items on the PS3 store and even, most interestingly, watch and record television if you have a PlayTV box.
