I want to know how you use the Sony Ericsson Satio and I want you to show the readers of the blog what you think of it, which is why I am announcing a competition to find 2 test pilots.
What is in it for the test pilot?
You get to use the Satio before the launch. Before all your friends, your family and your colleagues. That means bragging rights. You will also get to keep the phone when the test pilot period is over.
What do I want from the test pilot?
I want feedback once a week in written form. I also want you to be an active microblogger/blogger and photographer. I want to use the content you produce with your Satio and publish it in side bar widgets. In other words, you will become a mini blogger within the blog.
What should you do to become one of the test pilots?
Tell me in the comments section what country you live in, what will be your style of communicating through your sidebar blog, and why the readers (and I) will appreciate this. I need this by Monday the 14th September at the latest, because then I will make my decision who will be the test pilots.
My colleague and friend, as well as the global product marketing manager for the Satio, Fredrik Månsson, recorded a video tutorial of some basic functions of the Satio. I have edited the video into three shorter clips, and will start by posting a video on the home screen and the five panel navigation.
Soon I’ll be able to post tutorials when I go through more features of the phone, such as camera- and video-features and how to upload to web services such as Flickr and Picasa. Please post your thoughts in the comments on what features you want me to make more video tutorials on.
Here are some sample photos that I’ve shot during the summer.. the oldest ones are actually from late april (so please consider early HW and SW at that time!)
I’ve tried to put together a mix of different pictures from daylight landscape to late sunsets and macros. I also threw in a daily life portrait of my daughter.
As you’ll see they are all in 16:9 format, mainly because I like it better from an esthetic point of view – I’ll post some full 12 MP 4:3 samples later!
Comments, feedback or requests for other types of photos is of course highly appreciated!
Hi and welcome to the Satio Launch Blog.
My name is Rikard Skogberg and I work as the product marketing manager for the Sony Ericsson Satio in the Nordic region. Starting from today I will through this blog try to keep you updated on information regarding Satio and all of its applications.
Until the launch of Satio I will be dedicated to giving you information about all the features of the phone, shooting photos and videos to give you an understanding of the camera capabilities, interviewing interesting people involved with the development and design of Satio, and much more.
But most of all – I’m here to engage with you! I will try to answer your questions posted in the comments section (yes, that is the only way to ask me questions since I find it the most practical way to handle them) and also find out what you think through polls.
I also need your feedback on what to write about so please start off by giving me ideas of what you’d like to know more about! I hope there are lots of things you want me to test, specific camera test cases etc etc.
To start things: here’s a picture of myself that I shot last night using the Satio.
I know it’s not the best example picture to really show off the camera capabilities (low lighting, tired model, shaky hand) but I thought I would start off showing you a little bit of who I am and also make sure to have the real star of the blog (Satio) in the picture!
(And for the really observant readers – yes I didn’t want to show our logo mirrored so I needed to flip it, I made sure to use a lossless JPG-operation though so I don’t think it should have affected the picture quality more than just the horizontal flip.)
