9 new Android phones from Sony Ericsson this year?

Xperia PLAY_Black_screen2 Sony Ericsson have definitely been busy over the past few months. At MWC we saw 4 new devices announced, the XPERIA Play, XPERIA Arc, XPERIA Neo and XPERIA Pro.

According to several sources on the web and a few email tips that we’ve had, Sony Ericsson are planning a total of NINE new handsets for the US in 2011. It’s claimed that they will all be android powered too.

I’m sure that the XPERIA Play will be a roaring success, baring the Playstation name has to be a real boon and something that many are going to be talking about, a ‘true mobile gaming experience’. The Play is expected to be in the shops on the 31st March here in the UK (I personally think that’s a bit optimistic) so I’d expect the shipping date in the US to be pretty close to that too.

So what of the other 5 handsets coming up? We’ve no confirmation of the names or spec or even if they exist but we’ll certainly be digging for the others. When Gareth spoke with Sony Ericsson at MWC there was a vague suggestion that there were other things on the horizon but of course they didn’t reply to questions about that.

Let’s see what the next few months have in store!

BlackBerry PlayBook – Hands on Video

blackberry-playbook4

I was lucky enough to my hands on the BlackBerry PlayBook for the first time yesterday. Gareth did a demo video at Mobile World Congress but I have been waiting patiently for this great day. To say I was looking forward to it would be an understatement!

So was I impressed? I sure was. Being an iPad user it was definitely strange using a 7 inch tablet but you soon get accustomed. The device I used was not final ROM so we can more than likely see some slight tweaks before the PlayBook goes on sale.

The big question is when will that be. I’m afraid nobody knows for sure. It is imminent but I’m sure it will launch in North America and Canada before other parts of the world.

Check out the video below and feel free to comment on our forum.

HTC Incredible S Unboxing Video

Incredible S_1

Announced at Mobile World congress last month the HTC Incredible S has launched running Android 2.2 but with a promised upgrade to 2.3 coming very soon. The device looks great in black and with it sporting a 4-inch WVGA Super LCD display it is somewhat easier to handle in my opinion than the 4.3 inch Desire HD.

Spec wise the HTC Incredible S does not bring us anything new and amazing that we have not seen on other devices but with the specs it has, bundled with great build quality and HTC’s Sense UI it sure looks to be a big seller.

You can see the unboxing video below along with the Incredible S’s full spec.

Oh, and ignore the part in the video when I say it has a 4.3 inch screen. I got over excited and my mind played tricks on me!

Windows Phone 7 Companion – Book Review

DSCF1008

I am not really a book reader and reviewing them isn’t really my thing but I was talking to a friend of mine recently who has written one and I thought it may be worth a read. Windows Phone 7 Companion has been written by Matthew Miller. If the name doesn’t ring a bell then still you may of read his previous work. Matt not only writes for ZDNet.com but also runs nokiaexperts.com which is part of the Smartphone Experts group of websites.

I have been using Windows Phone 7 since launch and although I am pretty up to speed with the new operating system I thought that by reading the book I am bound to find out things that I didn’t know. And I was right.

With the recent news that Nokia will be using Windows Phone 7 as their primary OS in the future the WP7 market share is due to rocket. This means millions and millions of people will be getting a phone with a brand new operating system to them. For many people this is a daunting experience and maybe even a bit scary. This is where Windows Phone 7 Companion may well come in handy. What better than to have one place where you can discover all the benefits to your new Smartphone software and have all your questions answered.
