Today, Skype announced the Skype 2.5 update for Android, and confirmed that Xperia™ neo V and Xperia™ Live with Walkman also support video calling. This means Skype video calling is now available on all 7 Xperia™ devices with front camera, including the devices that have been supported in the previous releases – Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ mini pro, Xperia™ ray.
Some of the enhancements you will have with the Skype 2.5 for Android update is an enhanced video calling experience, with the possibility that you now can make video calls in portrait mode and easily zoom in and out during calls just by double tapping on the screen.
So, everybody here knows the Tomb Raider videogames, right?
Well, the great news we have today is that we have been working closely with Square Enix, the renown game publisher, to bring to all Xperia PLAY fans the latest version of Lara Croft’s Adventures: “Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light” as an exclusive game for Xperia PLAY, fully optimized for the phone. The game will be available during November 2011.
So, soon enough, you will be able to fight and defeat the evil spirit Xolotl with Lara Croft and Totec, an ancient Mayan warrior leader of the Army of Light, with your Xperia PLAY.
And of course, after this game, we will see more of the Square Enix games arrive to Xperia PLAY, so we can expect the game ecosystem of this gaming phone grow a lot more in the next months.
Keep posted for news about games for PLAY with our twitter account @xperiagames, and you can also visit the Sony Ericsson Games page , where you can find more of the game we have available and coming soon.
In August we announced that a new software version will be available for all 2011 Xperia™ models during October. I’m happy to share the information that the roll out has already started in the Nordic countries for Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ neo , Xperia™ ray and Xperia™ PLAY. (more…)
Following the fun and success we enjoyed at Gamescom in Köln, Germany, this past weekend we were at the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) announcing availability of XperiaTM PLAY on DoCoMo this fall, giving Japanese fans the chance to get some hands-on time with the ultimate gaming smartphone!
TGS is an international video games conference held every year in the Makhuri Messe center, just outside Tokyo. It’s been running for more than fifteen years and is considered one of the flagship computing entertainment conferences amongst the global gaming community. (more…)
We received some interesting and good news form our team in Americas. Yesterday, it was announced that Xperia™ PLAY 4G will be available with AT&T in September.
