• Access the internet and any DRM free media content saved on the hard drive
• Sign in to the PS3 network and message friends
• Shop for items in the PS3 store
• Watch and record live television using PlayTV

Mein Gott. Sony just confirmed Sony Ericsson’s Aino phone will allow Remote Play. And it has an XMB. And, most likely, sparkles.

It’s out “early October,” and, according to SE lady Lisa Canning, “offers a unique multimedia experience for all PlayStation 3 fans as they can seamlessly access and control their PS3 media content anywhere, anytime using Remote Play.”

Canning added: “Remote Play with Aino lets you turn your PS3 on and off, browse and control the XMB and access the internet browser from anywhere in the world. Remote Play also lets you control and access the HD Drive’s media content on PS3 using the built-in WiFi or 3G connections via Aino.

“You can also access PlayStation Store via Remote Play or chat with friends via PlayStation Network. It is also possible to buy and download a new game from the Store via Aino so it is ready and waiting for you when you get home.”

The upcoming Sony Ericsson Aino touch-screen phone allows remote control of PS3 media, including support for recorded PlayTV content if you live in France, Germany, Italy, Spain or the UK, according to this Eurogamer report.

Just like a PSP. No PlayStation branding, though.

There’s a press release here. Looks swish.
