Sony Ericsson and Google today announced that they have worked closely together to integrate Google’s Blogger and Web Search features on Sony Ericsson mobile phones. A pre-loaded blog application will be available with Sony Ericsson’s new (not smart) phones – K610, K800 and K790.

Icons leading to Google Web Search have been integrated into the phones user interface to provide easy access to the information that Google Web Search can provide.

Now the interesting part – commencing today Google will become the standard search engine for all new Sony Ericsson Internet-capable phones. As far as I can tell, this includes their other smartphones as well. :)

I’ve been wondering for some time when will some phone maker make the deal with Google. Now, all we want are Symbian applications from Google!

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
