Sony Ericcson presents an online development tool intended for the likes of gamers, artists, creative thinkers, astrophysicist, and whoever else that’s deemed creative to remake reality.
EmpireStateGamer's recap of day one of MLG Providence 2011. ESG interviews both TLO and Bravo after their autograph session.
A joint venture established in 2001 by Japanese technology giant Sony and Swedish telecommunications company Ericsson to manufacture mobile phones, Sony Ericsson has always had a rather troubled life. While the company has managed to create a few great phones, especially in the camera department, most Sony Ericsson products have failed to have a serious impact on the mobile market. That may be all set to change, as recent reports suggest that Sony are preparing to take full control of the mobile phone company.
was the sony ericcson walkman slider. That thing was nice. Built in radio and i could watch movies and listen to music thanks to the media go app. I have used motorola and samsung and lg and nokia and blackberry but the walkman slider was my favorite.
According to the original WSJ article , Sony will only buy Ericsson's share of the SE joint mobile-phone ventur, not the all of Ericsson itself.
I think is a great idea, they can finally combine their mobile products with the PlayStation brand to create something better, mixing their Xperia Smartphones with the PlayStation Vita would make the coolest piece of tech ever! :D

hell, i would settle for PSP1 + phone hybrid
Fuckin ageee dude. Id be so happy to see a true psp phone :) love my xperia play but i want psp powa!
Sony really needs to ramp up their offerings if they wanna get serious.
A phone built into the Vita would be a good start.
That they do it. They need clear leadership to respond quickly to technology shifts.
Especially with an asian company trying to collaborate with a European company. Not that it's not possible, there are just some extra barriers there for success. Bringing it all under the Sony umbrella sounds like a sound move. I'm surprised it took them this long to figure that out.
Ericsson is a big telecommunication company, they sell parts to other manufacturers while keeping this joint that helps them to maintain their brand in the mobile telcommunication market, it's like a win/win situation for Ericsson alone, I hope this news is true, so Sony can make and add more stuff to their products to make better things...
Especially if they want it to be a strong gaming platform as well as a good phone
That right there is one of the problems they have had, they need both Ericsson and Sony to sign off on all kinds of things which just slows everything down.
SEMC have made a lot of great phones but for whatever reason just couldn't keep up consistent sales. I have a 3 year old c905 that is still the best camera phone I've ever used, and I have dozens of phones.
Dealspwn: "After years of asking, we finally have our PlayStation phone, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play. The Xperia Play comes with a 16GB memory card, which we soon populated with a few games for a quick review and a look at a few of the phone’s features. Our sister site, Mobot, did a more technical review here.
With an aim to improve sales, the price of the device has recently been slashed by almost a half to around £299 for those wishing to purchase the handset on its own. So let’s take a look from a gamer’s perspective at how the device holds up."
Wish I had this phone now, but I'm stuck with my lame Droid X. Which so far the new updates have remove alot of things from it and screw up the things that made it good.
Echos of PSP Go all over again. Honestly, I'm going to wait at least 12 months after Vita's release before I decide to buy or not.
I got one. It's a great phone, and the gamepad/keys are a huge, huge deal. I honestly wouldn't trade it for some of the power hungry Tegra2 phones my pals have picked up recently. Mine lasts for like 48 hours straight on a single charge, and it performs great.
Totally. Loving my xperia play especially for the emulation. Havin actual buttons makes a huge difference for my mobile gaming i dont miss my old iphone4 at all.
It's perfect for emulation, but the Android gaming library isn't very good in general. It's kind of expensive (bought it for $665, no contract), but it's a very nice high-end phone. Perfect for my needs.
Neato. Too bad I can't stand their phones.
Hopefully when it comes to the android updates Sony don't go all LG on us and have us waiting for about year just to get an update or pound us with crapware/bloatware.
