The mobile space is all about convergence. It’s all about putting the power of a laptop, music player, camera, and PDA in the palm of your hand. To that extent, mobile phone manufacturers have been pushing their version of converged life on the consumer market with spiffy commercials and eye-catching graphics.
Sony Ericsson’s new device presentation shows off just how “cool” and “hip” your converged life could be in their new video (below). Set to some funky electro-beats, the new video shows off one or two unknown handsets that look like all-touchscreen jobbies with media playback, media capture, and communications capabilities that seemingly turn your life into a gesture-controlled, psychedelic trip.
Most interesting in this video is the iChat-like chat/SMS text message interface that pops up around 0:55. It’s also interesting to see Sony Ericsson showing off the devices’ features using gesture-control. We’re not looking for the next Sony Ericsson handset to sport gesture controls that rival the demonstration in the video, but the fact that SE applied for a patent on that idea and then showed off gesture-control in the video is interesting indeed. But, if Sony Ericsson ends up bringing the gesture-control features to market in the near-term, we told ya so…
