If you’re one of those folks living an “active” lifestyle, you may like Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Active smartphone. The device is specially made to allow users to quickly track their outdoor activities such as running, biking and so on. In that sense, it comes with a number of pre-installed apps, as well as sensors needed to actually track stuff (i.e. accelerometer, GPS, compass and barometer).
Now we have one British phone retailer allowing interested users to pre-order their Xperia Active unit. That retailer is Play.com, which asks 229.99 GBP for the unlocked device, which then can be used with any mobile operator in the UK. Play.com lists September 9 as the release date, meaning that you’ll still have to wait for more than a month to try out Active’s tracking capabilities. If that’s not a problem for you, hit this link to make sure you’re among the first ones with a truly “mobile active” lifestyle.

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.
