Sony Mobile’s UK & Ireland MD Pierre Perron talked to Mobile Magazine during the IFA event 2012 and they got a scoop on Sony’s future plans to develop on Windows platform. He said:

‘Sony’s strategy is one of openness. Microsoft is a Sony partner with the likes of our VAIO laptops and it’s integrated onto our tablets. As far as Xperia smartphones go, Android remains the preferred partner, although Sony is not a single partner company. We are currently investigating with the likes of Microsoft the possibility of diversifying our product strategy.’

Other manufacturers including Nokia, Samsung and HTC are highly interested in Windows phone development but Sony seems to be concentrating on Android. We did see an official statement from the Ex-Sony Ericsson President Bert Nordberg that Sony is aiming to be the number one Android manufacturer, but that’s not a feasible solution to boost the sales even if Android is the most popular mobile platform around the world. Developing on the various mobile platforms and releasing a variety of phones will actually make the company versatile resulting in an overall intelligence and thereby snatching a prominent fan base.
