The Sony Ericsson Satio (previously known as the Idou) has already had a reasonable go-over on video, but in case you wanted to see more of the 12 megapixel heavyweight, a beefy 25-minute review has been cooked up, going over the body, main menu, web browsing, and, of course, the camera. It’s probably worth checking out the gallery of still pictures taken with the Satio as well – merely packing in the megapixels isn’t a guarantee for a good camera, but it sure does help, considering some of the test shots taken. For avid photographers looking for a solid backup camera, or more casual picture-takers looking to ditch their point-and-shoot, expect the Satio to land in stores this October for under €600.
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
