The main phone’s functionalities are operated by a touchscreen display, running on 1GHz processor.
The video also shows off a PlayStation app, which appears to house a library of games, though none were shown in this leak.

Disney’s Facebook hits 100 million Likes
Over the weekend, Disney reached the dizzy heights of 100 million Facebook Likes, just in time for Walt Disney’s 109th birthday.
The Likes spanned across across 200 of its official brand and character pages. These pages have been gathering 5 million fans per week.
Disney started engaging with Facebook in July 2009 and began posting regularly in August, so hitting such a high target in just over a year is pretty impressive, even for such a large company.
To celebrate, Disney posted a YouTube video on its progress over this time.
