On Monday afternoon, we mistakenly posted a promo offering Xperia owners 50GB of free storage via the Box for Android mobile app. While we’re really excited about working with Box down the road, this offer is not active today. We are in the midst of finalising the details of this promotion and are working to provide this offer very soon to all Xperia customers so stay tuned!
Since the launch of Xperia™ PLAY, we have been seeing really interesting and cool things created around this amazing smartphone.
Sony Ericsson UK partnered with the indie music band Kasabian and Umbro in a never before seen Football match, where the videogame played through Xperia™ PLAY actually becomes reality through two teams confronting each other, controlled by Kasabian front-man, Tom Meighan and England football star, Darren Bent, using wireless headsets, and specially programmed Xperia™ PLAY smartphones to move them around.
Recently, we tried a service from Sony Ericsson that makes showing images and presentations really easy from your Xperia: vscreens.com, a cloud service that allows you to make any big screen with a browser, like a PC, Google TV, PlayStation3 or Internet enabled screens, display your content within seconds
There have been a few questions here on the blog and in our support forums regarding our upgrade plans beyond Gingerbread. We can today confirm that we plan to upgrade the entire 2011 Xperia™ portfolio* to the next version of Android known as Android 4.0 or Ice Cream Sandwich. We are working on merging our current Xperia™ experience with the new features in Android 4.0. More detailed information regarding this upgrade, timing and global availability will be communicated in due course here on the blog.
* “2011 Xperia™ Portfolio” refers to the following products: Xperia™ arc and arc S, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo and neo V, Xperia™ mini and mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ active, Xperia™ ray as well as Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™
Smartphones can be great tools for everybody, but what happens if we use them to remake reality? Well, we are finding out with Xperia Studio.
For the latest experiment, Xperia Studio collaborated with inventor and photographer Joergen Geerds to capture the incredible landscape in the Moab Desert, Utah in a full 360° panoramic video.
