Last week we saw a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play connected up to a TV via HDMI. At the time the pictures could have been a fake, or the cable connecting the handset to the TV could have been a micro USB to HDMI, or another, reworked Xperia Play.

One of the most disappointing things about the Xperia Play is that, unlike the other handsets announced by Sony Ericsson at MWC, the Xperia play would not feature HDMI output. Many, myself included were disappointed to find that the slimmest handset announced, the Xperia Arc had this feature where as the Xperia Play did not and would have greatly benefitted from having this.
