It’s no secret that Android is a great platform with sales numbers and an installbase to prove it. However, due to the massive number of devices on the market powered by the platform, Android versions are plentiful. This poses a threat to developers who are looking to release software that take advantage of the latest features while still incorporating a large portion of the Android userbase. Luckily, hardware manufacturers have been decent at getting the latest updates out by some devices are still trailing behind.
The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, for instance, is one device that just only recently got the Android 2.1 update leaving consumers wondering if the Froyo update will ever roll around. Fortunately, a ray of hope seems to have shown its face in the form of a Turkish customer support letter, shown above.
While we aren’t the most well versed in this language, this letter states that we may be seeing Android 2.2 for the Xperia X10 sometime in Q2 2011. Yes it’s late, but better late than never right? Of course before you get too excited make note that this is not officially confirmed so it could be complete hogwash.
Yes, we always try and report about the Playstation Phone whenever we can, and we just discovered this video.
Apparently, this Playstation phone is also known as the Sony Ericsson Z1, ans it is powered by the 2.3 Gingerbread. Now, if you are looking to see people playing the PSP, you will have to watch another video. At least you can see the 4-inch touchscreen and multitasking in action.
One of the last time we reported on this phone, we said that it might be coming December 9th. Is it really that soon?
It seems that Sony Ericsson CEOs are up to a lot these days. There is a possibility of a PlayStation Phone or an Anzu tablet from Mobile World Congress.
Sony Ericsson France CEO Pierre Perron has stated that there will probably not be any Windows Phone 7 tablet or headset, despite talks with Microsoft about the issue.
It’s hard to believe that one, but hey, here we are.
In this day and age if a smartphone doesn’t have all of the features another does it ill get picked apart ruthlessly. Luckily, thanks to the top notch software engineering team at many of these smartphone manufacturers features are continuously added following their initial release.
One such example of this is the Xperia X10 from Sony Ericsson. When originally announced, SE let us know that the device did not feature multitouch support and would not be getting it due to the fact that the included hardware simply wouldn’t support it. Luckily, it was made known today that SE will in fact be bringing multitouch to the Xperia X10 in the near future.
Unfortunately, if you’re looking for full fledged multitouch support, you’re going to be disappointed. It seems that SE will only be bringing limited multitouch support to the device including pinch to zoom in the web browser and Google Maps. Then again, what other multitouch do you really need (besides for games)?
According to VentureBeat, Sony is apparently working on something that will “likely be a PSP phone that will address gamers who play casually and would not likely buy a dedicated, stand-alone video game device such as the PlayStation Portable”. Yes, that is a quote from my Source, and sadly, this isn’t the amount of closure [...]
