Sony Ericsson W595 Cosmopolitan Edition

The Japanese-Swedish manufacturer upgrades its products from time to time, or to better say they repack them so they are appropriate for other types of users as well. The previously used changeable cases were made for the same reason, but most manufacturers have recognized that by announcing new color editions after the phone's launch, sales can be boosted again. Nokia, for example, likes to delay the launch of black editions, as they usually arouse attention again. Sony Ericsson W595 Cosmopolitan Edition is another color variant, it is a white model with red flowers forming a frame on its case. The same motifs can be found on the phone's themes as well, and the manufacturer also copied five music tracks on the phone. The 100 x 47 x 14 mm large Walkman phone, weighing 104 grams, features a 2.2" display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, a 3.2 megapixel camera with fixed focus, stereo speaker, a stereo FM radio, Bluetooth, HSDPA support, a gyroscope and advanced musical features. The price of the new edition is not yet known.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10

Sony Ericsson today unveils the XPERIA™ X10, the first phone in a family of phones to deliver a consistent user experience where communication truly becomes entertainment.

XPERIA™ X10 is Sony Ericsson’s first phone on Google’s Android OS platform. XPERIA™ X10 has a 4 inch 854 x 480 pixel screen with a capacitive mineral glass touch-screen, fast 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ processor, 1GB internal storage with additional storage via microSD™ card, an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi 802.11g and HSPA at 7.2Mbps download.

With the power and features of the XPERIA™ X10 and the open software platform, developers have a compelling opportunity to create, share and sell applications.

Daniel Rosendahl from Developer World shows the demo version of Speed Forge 3D running on Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10.

PERIA™ X10 introduces Sony Ericsson’s Timescape™ and Mediascape™ signature applications.

• Sony Ericsson Timescape™ manages all communications – on social networks, text and email - with one person in one place.
• Sony Ericsson Mediascape™ enables users to see all the music, photos and videos they want from their favourite friends and artists. It accesses content from the phone, YouTube™, PlayNow™ – presenting it in an organised and intuitive way.

Erica Kato Marcus, Sony Ericsson Head of Application Planning for the XPERIA™ X10, talks about the new signature apps: Sony Ericsson Timescape™ and Sony Ericsson Mediascape.

We are keen to open up the APIs for these applications, and we welcome a dialog with developers to get ideas and feedback, with a view to launching a Sony Ericsson SDK in early 2010.

At Web 2.0 in New York on November 18-19 2009 we will be able to talk to developers in person about opportunities with XPERIA™ X10.

Developers can start right away using the SDK available at developer.android.com. On Developer World there will also be a guide that illustrates how to configure the SDK.
