Remote Play with PlayStation 3, initially developed for PSP, enables users to control and access media content on PlayStation 3 from their phone. This can be done via a local network between PlayStation 3 and Aino in your home or via the internet from anywhere in the world.

Users just insert their Aino into its charging stand and it automatically synchronizes with all the latest media content on their PC. You are always ready to go with the latest content on your phone.
