Video: X10 Multi-Touch Hack
Some of you may remember the ‘does it? doesn’t it?’ sage over the X10’s multi-touh capabilities before, and shortly after it launched. For weeks there were conflicting reports that the device did and did not have the capability to support multi-touch input. Finally the matter was settled when Sony Ericsson announced that the handset could not technically support the feature. Case closed.
… well no. Steup the intrepid boffins at XDA Developers. As you can see from the video below they’ve managed to come up with a hack that gives the X10 rudimentary multi-touch input. It’s by no means perfect and currently it’s not available to the X10 owning public, but as the say goes, where there is a will, there is a way.

New Android Handsets, Old Android OS
In all the excitement of today’s X12 leak it would have been easy to miss a rather interesting comment Mobile-Review’s Eldar Murtazin made about the other handsets Sony Ericsson are planning on launching next year.
Eldar said that Sony Ericsson showed him seven handsets and from the tweet you can see that most are Android based. So far so good. However, Eldar then mentions that Sony Ericsson are again using their own custom UI and that the handsets are running older versions of Android. Not so good.
Timescape and Mediascape are actually pretty good, but if that comes at the price of an older version of Android I say that’s too high a price to pay. Of course these handsets that Eldar saw were no doubt prototypes so perhaps the finished products will be running Gingerbread, but as anyone who has ever owned an X10 can tell you, that is most definitely not a sure fire thing.

Liveview release imminent
From SE, officially nothing has been said (apart from a vague answer to someone inquiring about it) which makes us all wonder if they are going to delay it or not.
However, first saw the item on the Play website it said the 1st of November initially. Needless to say with the UK update to Eclair being delayed until the 5th of November, Play have decided that now the release date is the 19th of November.
SE have also released the LiveView app onto the Android Market, which also suggests that the release date is “soon”

Anzu: New X12 Flagship
Sony Ericsson’s next flagship device, codenamed Anzu, has had the leak treatment on the web today with a picture appearing over on the Xperia X10 Blog. Whilst details are obviously still sketchy at this stage there is some information about this new handset available, although it predictably raises more questions than it answers.
First off is the name, according Eldar Murtazin the handset will be officially known as the X12. Announcement wise we’re probably looking at late this year, before Christmas, or possibly early next year with a launch window being pegged for early next year. The X12 is one of seven devices that Eldar says Sony Ericsson have planned for the first half of next year.
The screen is a hefty 4.3 inch effort and the device is described as being ‘very, very slim’. Interestingly enough though X12 is said to belong to the same category as the PlayStation phone and they are apparently being tested side by side. Now with both devices having the same screen size, or at least the same aspect ratio, one has to wonder whether this means that the X12 will have access to the new Z-System gaming platform that Sony Ericsson is launching.
The picture above shows the device running Android 2.1, which may have rung some alarm bells with you, especially those of you using an X10. However, the consensus is that the device will actually ship with Gingerbread (Android 2.3) and for Sony Ericsson’s sake let’s hope that’s true!
