Current smartphone mics are surprisingly capable, says Sony Computer Entertainment Europe London Studio director Dave Ranyard, which he demonstrated when singing Britney Spears' "One More Time" into a Sony brand Android smartphone. SingStar for PS4 will let players pair their iOS and Android phones with the game and use the built-in microphone in their mobile device to capture audio. With the upcoming PlayStation 4 version, Sony is ditching the need for dedicated microphones. The developer of venerable PlayStation singalong series SingStar - which turns 10 years old today - has found an inventive way to lower the barrier to entry to enjoy karaoke at home.
