We usually skip this sort of information, but it’s a slow news week and why not — I still think the Sony Ericsson K770i is one of the best looking devices (not yet) on the market. Let’s roll…
The K770 is based on Sony Ericsson’s Java Platform 7 and among other things it will be able to run a host of downloadable Java apps like advanced 3D games, mobile navigation applications, video streaming, travel companions, various applications using the camera (i.e. photo and video blogging). The new Cyber-shot phone also supports other entertaining content like ringtones, music, animated wallpapers and themes…
And that’s it for the rest of us. Developers – check out the following list after the jump. 🙂
