As mentioned in the blog post last Friday we are preparing for an upgrade marathon week here at the blog and every day we will dig deeper into one of the new features in our Android 2.3.4 upgrade. First out is Facebook inside Xperia™ 2.0.
Sony Ericsson has worked closely with Facebook to ensure that connectivity to Facebook is not just to be found in the Facebook application but to integrate the experience throughout the most relevant parts of an Xperia smartphone such as the music player, phonebook, photo gallery, calendar and lockscreen. If you want to experience what Facebook inside Xperia would look like in your phone then check out the demo we have created for our Facebook channel. (more…)
In late September we announced the rollout of Android 2.3.4 in the Nordic Countries. Today, we’re happy to share the news that the upgrade is starting to roll out all over the rest of the world. Since the Nordic release we have made some additional changes which means that this update is actually new also for the Nordic consumers.
The phones that will get the software update are: Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini, Xperia™ mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ ray, Xperia™ active, Xperia™ neo V, Xperia™ arc S and the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™. The update will be available for all unlocked phones and most operator variants but there will be local deviations. There are also some deviations on feature upgrade depending on phone model. Google Talk video chat will only be available for phones with front facing camera. Xperia™ PLAY will not get 3D panorama sweep but it will get HD video recording and the other goodies below. (more…)
Well, we had a great and exiting time in the Paris Games Week, and now we would love to share some of the best bits of the event for those who couldn’t make it to Paris this weekend!
As we posted before, the games just keep on coming to Xperia™ PLAY, and we had some of the hottest new titles to try out in the show – like Pro Evolution Soccer 2012 and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 12, to the best-sellers in our EA autumn promo offer, including Dead Space, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and Battlefield: Bad Company 2. We also had a few of the best new Indie titles, like OrangePixel’s INC*and Jean-François Geyelin’s PewPew 2 as well as retro fave R-Type from leading French developers DotEmu.
Recently, a project that our colleagues in the Extras team have been working on caught our attention. They teamed up with the London College of Fashion to create a project based on LiveView™ and capture the students creativity. The idea behind this project is for the students to research, design and present their creative ideas for new, wearable technology which incorporates LiveView™.
We talked about Xperia™ pro just a few weeks ago, but now we have something else we want to show you.
Our colleagues from Developer World made a very good video where Daniel Sandblom, product marketing manager, tells us the main features of the phone.
