When people started snapping up smartphones en masse back in 2007, thank Apple for that, no one could have predicted that it would be mobile gaming that would drive the ecosystem forward. Many, myself included, thought that push email, maps, and general web browsing would make the “new” product category popular enough that people would…
Hands-on Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc with Android Gingerbread (HD video)
Sony Ericsson just announced the Xperia Arc phone and we were able to get our hands on the upcoming Android Gingerbread device. I reviewed the X10 and felt that the hardware was beautiful but the software wasn’t up to par. While I only had about twenty minutes with the device, I’m wondering if the hardware…
Bits of Android 2.4 spotted on a prototype Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc?
Eagle eyed folks behind the Dutch site Tweakers.net are arguing Honeycomb may still not be ready for the primetime, at least not for all handset makers. While playing with a prototype Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, they noted that the device is running some incremental build of Gingerbread 2.4 that apparently includes some of the things…

We’re live at Sony’s press event here in Las Vegas for CES and we’re hoping to see some pretty amazing things.

We were expecting to see the Sony Ericsson Xperia X12 at CES this week, and prior to any official announcement, two full marketing videos and a batch of stills has squeaked their way out. As previously speculated, the Xperia Arc (a.k.a. Anzu) will have a Bravia-quality display, which they’re calling the Reality Display, and will…
Sony Ericsson Anzu X12 Launching at CES?
We have our fingers crossed for the launch of Sony Ericsson’s PlayStation phone at CES, but even if it doesn’t go public until MWC next month, it looks like the Xperia X12, code-named Anzu, will most likely be announced this week. A few banners around the Las Vegas Convention Center are showing a glimpse of…
Sony Ericsson PlayStation Phone Spotted With Xperia Branding
The upcoming PlayStation phone (or straight-up “Play“, if you will) has been caught again under the camera, this time with Sony Ericsson’s Xperia logo staring right back at us. The software running on there is Android 2.3 (as we had seen in previous benchmarks), and looks like it has some of the usual Xperia customizations…
CES 2011 Preview: Tablets, 4G, dual-core
The beginning of a new year means a lot of things: shameful recollections of your New Year’s Eve party, resolutions that never really panned out in the last year, and, of course, the largest consumer electronics show of the year. With CES Las Vegas 2011 kicking off in just a few short days, the IntoMobile…
Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro Successor Benchmarked, Runs Android 2.3
We’re kinda-sorta expecting Sony Ericsson to launch the Hallon, Anzu, and Play at CES next week, but what about their Mobile World Congress plans? Well, that time last year they launched the X10 Mini Pro, an adorably tiny device with a surprisingly good keyboard, and based on a few pictures, it looks like they’re ready…
