Remote Play

Like the Sony PSP, the Aino features PlayStation 3 connectivity, called Remote Play. This allows the phone to be able to turn the PS3 on from anywhere in the world and stream its media files. This is the first phone to implement this, as it was previously only available on PlayStation Portable.
