A few previews I have seen mention the Euro version has a 1gb "rom", of which 380mb (not 400) is available to the user for apps.
This will be a HUGE weakness for this device, especially since the folks that would buy this are gamers. Apps2sd will only help so much since apps still install some of the app to the internal storage.
Surely Sony did not get stupid and only provide 400mb of device storage.
Mega fail if true and not much better than the Archos tablets who got pure stupid with 230mb of space.
Confirmed- Sony got stupid. Like the TB, it has no internal media space, but at least the TB, in spite of bloatware has 2.4gb of device storage. The Play has a crazy low 400mb and to make matters worse, other reviews are alos mentioning the dispaly is not very bright.
From the Slashgear review:
Under the hood it’s a pretty standard Android phone, with a single-core 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor, Adreno 205 graphics, 512MB of RAM, 400MB of internal storage and a bundled 8GB microSD card.
Update: This is an error. It has only 380mb for apps storage- Crazy stupid.
Unless Sony is assuming folks will ony install their Playstation games, this is a huge design mistake, since gamers will soon run out of space with 400mb.
