I’ve been travelling to Norway and Denmark for press events the last two days. The events we’re really good I think, lots of journalists with lots of good, and sometimes tricky 
, questions.
The interest for X10 out there is huge and I’m glad to see that many of the people we show the X10 to are as inspired as we are about this product.
During this trip I’ve also thought a bit around what I personally like with the Android OS and will try to scribble down some thoughts here.
From a user perspective I really like the way it feels like the entire OS is built to really leverage on that big capacitive touch screen. Almost everything is really smooth and all applications really use the paradigm of light touches and sweeps that it the strong point of that type of screen. The amount of apps available and the really innovative spirit that is out there is huge.
Before I got into marketing I was a developer myself and have a degree in computer science – therefore some of the observations i make could also be a bit on the geeky side.
One thing I’ve noticed is that the entire OS seems to be extremely modular, which from a user perspective actually gives you the opportunity to change your phone into what you want it to be.
One example of this that I noticed is selecting a ringtone. When I first went into the settings menu I realized that when trying to set a ringtone I didn’t get to choose from my mp3 music. I was very disappointed of course but thought that there must be a way of doing that. I later realized that Mediascape of course gives you the possibility of “set as ringtone” when selecting a song. However – before I realized that I thought, well if is isn’t supported in Android by default, perhaps someone has made an app for it?. Guess what – there are tons of “ringtonepickers” in Android Market. I downloaded one of them and realized something really cool. That app is not an app you run just like that – rather it plugs in to the OS so the next time I chose to switch ringtone I got a question on if I wanted to do it using the standard way or using this newly downloaded ringtone picker.
From a developer perspective I think that is really cool – any developer can create apps that extends or exchanges functionality of the OS itself. I would guess it’s also fairly easy from a developer perspective since the amounts of apps available is huge.
I’m sure there are lots of other cool “Handler-APIs” in Android that you might know more than me on so please feel free to give me tips on other parts of the system that can be extended or exchanged using 3rd party apps.

@ Manish, Xenon cannot be turned on and if it is made to ‘Force ON Mode’ then it will drink battery like we need pepsi in summer. Believe me, Xenon ON for more than 1 min would be disaster. I’m not sure but There might be some over heating problem. Forgive me if i’m wrong. I have a Classic K810i and i think its the same Xenon in Satio.
But on the other side its kind of interesting.

@ Sandeep, Can you please give more of your expert views on the ISO of the Satio. I mean we all know Satio is a little sluggish when low light images are taken.

Okay, not Xenon but LED could be always on!
And yes I would also love to have a Manual adjust of ISO.

WoW, you also are a programmer, I like your appreciation of
Android. I’m very fond of Satio but I wish it had
Android instead of Symbian.
Lol, now YET everyone wants/loves to XPeria X10, but it s remember that a month ago no one changed their Satio.

Michell Bak at SE-blog conforms that you can add tabs to show in Timescape and Mediascape. Thats modularity!! 
I always wanted it.

I saw X10 has MULTI focus! its SO cool… can it be added to Satio?
and what about the new party scene type? its nice…
and the LED as flash thingy (shooting) I suggested… is it possobile?
and louder speaker (in every aspect) could be nice…
and also, how about X10 speaker? is it louder than Satio?
