Sony Ericsson's new Aino mobile phone will include Remote Play functionality for the PlayStation 3 - and it'll even boast a mini XMB menu system.

According to reports (thanks VG247) the new phone will arrive towards the end of October, and it'll boast lashings of compatibility.

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," beams word from Sony.

Sony Ericsson's Lisa Canning continues: "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 ultimate accessory for PlayStation aficionados? It certainly sounds like it.
