Official Playstation app for iPhone now available in select countries


Sony announced its official Playstation app was coming to iOS last month, and now it has landed in the App Store. The PlayStation App hooks into Sony's PlayStation network by requiring you to login using your network ID. The gaming-oriented application lets you follow your friends, find the games they own and read their status updates. You can also monitor the trophies that you have earned and keep track of current happenings via the PlayStation blog. While the PlayStation app lets you digest gaming-related information and browse your friends' info, it does not let you play actual games.



Version 1.0 of the app is free and can be downloaded from the App Store. The app will launch initially in select countries such as France, UK, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands with expansion to other countries expected soon. It is compatible with the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch running iOS 4.0 or later.
