Sony released the Xperia Z kernel source code even though the device is still not available in most parts of the world (except for Japan). The idea, apparently, is to allow custom ROM developers to get an early edge and already start making customizations for Sony’s superphone. Moreover, I would assume this is also a part of the Japanese company’s agenda to be a good open-source citizen, supporting the community whenever possible.
The Sony Xperia Z will start selling by the end of this month and it will be one of the first devices with a 5-inch full HD screen. In addition, it will also pack a quad-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 13-megapixel rear camera, front-facing one, 3G/4G and Wi-Fi connectivity and so on.
Developers looking to get the Xperia Z ROM can do that from here.

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.
