Japanese newspaper Asahi Shimbun is reporting that Sony Ericsson’s PlayStation Phone will arrive sometime next spring.

The newspaper said that the phone will first hit the US and Europe and it will be based on the PSPgo. It is said to use slide out PSPgo-like controls and feature a touch-sensitive tracking pad.

UMD and Memory Sticks allegedly got the boot, whereas the rest of the specs seem to concur with earlier “leaks”. Namely, the phone will run on Android 3.0 and will have 1GHz Qualcomm CPU, 512MB of RAM, 1GB of ROM and screen from 3.7 to 4.1 inches.
