What is going on? Is there some kind of mobile device software sickness happening at Sony Ericsson? First, they pull their premier device, the Satio, due to ‘software issues’ (that’s deliberately vague methinks), and now it’s little brother, the Aino gets pulled too!

StayStuck is genuinely useful; and a good price!
I do like mobile accessories, I do – especially when they are simple, (relatively) cheap, and ‘do what they say on the tin’.
