We have been hearing a lot of rumours recently about the phones Sony Ericsson currently working on; like the Nozomi and ST21. It seems more and more phones arise as we have proofs of another phone code named ‘Aoba’ (LT28at, LT28i). It’s spec sheet includes,

• 1.5GHz dual-core chipset.
• 4.55-inch (720 x 1280) reality display.
• a whopping 13MP rear camera.
• and a 720p front facing camera.

The proof I mentioned earlier is in the form of a picture sample from this phone.

It is expected that the phone will have two versions; one for the United states (LT28at) and the other (LT28i) a GSM version for the rest of the world.

Pleased with the feedback they got about the alpha ROM they released last week, Sony Ericsson published a blog post saying thanks to the public. They also requested to participate in a survey and let them know what more the customers need from them. From the comments they already received,  they have added some features and some are still in consideration as further tests are needed to make sure the finalised ROM is a fine tuned one. Also, they were not reluctant in publishing the features they are currently working on, to be included in the upcoming update. They are:

1. Groups in the list of contacts.
2. A mix of the Ice Cream Sandwich vanilla gallery app and the Sony Ericsson gallery app.
3. The popular swipe to write feature, currently available in the Gingerbread software.

So, from what we hear from them, there is serious work in progress in the Sony Ericsson labs and lets hope the finalised ICS they serve will be delicious!

Jak wiecie gramy z WOŚP zdecydowanie głośniej. Ale tradycyjnie od startu sieci, przekazujemy na licytację wyjątkowe numery. Tradycja wymaga, abyśmy uczcili kolejny pozyskany milion klientów, zatem mocno lobbuję za numerem sześciomilionowym.

Last week we made an Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM available for unlocked Xperia™ phones. The response we got was overwhelming, and we want to say a big thank you for all your great feedback and the huge interest shown! We will look through all the comments we received in the survey, on the blog post and on the video, and incorporate the input into our planning of future software and product releases. We have now also made the open source archive for the Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM available. In addition, the sensor HAL will also be available as open source soon.

Even though we were expecting some reactions on the Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM release, we did not expect such an amount of great and constructive feedback. Some of the things we have received comments on are actually already planned for coming releases (keep in mind this was only an alpha). Other things will be up for consideration and prioritisation, based on parameters such as relevance, usability, workload, resources and timing.

At this point, it’s too early to go into details about what will be included or not in future software releases, but we can share some information about the upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich software release:

• We’re looking into making it possible to create groups in the list of contacts.
• We’re planning to ship both the Ice Cream Sandwich vanilla gallery app and our own Sony Ericsson gallery app. They both include some great features, so it will be up to you to use the one which fits your needs best.
• It is our intention to include the popular swipe to write feature, currently available in our Gingerbread software.

Open source archive available now
As the headline says, we have made the open source archive for the Ice Cream Sandwich alpha ROM available. Moreover, we will also publish the sensor HAL as open source. This means you will be able to get access to sensors such as the proximity sensor, the compass and so on, through the lower software layers. This file will also be published in our open source archive.

Keep up all the good work devs!

Sony Ericsson had confirmed the ICS update for all the 2011 Xperias a month back.  Since then they had been keeping in touch with the public through their blog posts explaining the development of a ROM and releasing an alpha version for selected models.

Now,  they have shed some light on the release dates. The update process will start in two phases:

• End March/ Early April 2012  (for Xperia™ arc S, Xperia™ neo V and Xperia™ ray)
• End April/ Early May 2012 (for Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini and mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™)

The updates will be a phased roll out over several weeks and all kits for a specific phone model will not get the upgrade at the same time.

Here is something interesting and really unbelievable stuff about Xperia active. The phone; as said by Sony Ericsson is meant for people with an active life. But when they defined it so, the company wouldn’t have thought how people would take it!

Yes,  here are some interesting videos on how a guy tests his Xperia active.

These videos are a solid proof of how hard the Xperia active is and how difficult is to destroy it; and that gives it the name, ‘The indestructible Droid‘.

As previously communicated we will update the entire 2011 Xperia portfolio* to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) as part of our next software upgrade. Our developers are now busy merging our current Xperia™ software with the new features in Android 4.0.  

With the holiday season around the corner, we’re happy to confirm that the first 2011 Xperia™ smartphones will be upgraded to Android 4.0 starting from end March/early April 2012. The first smartphones to get the upgrade are Xperia™ arc S, Xperia™ neo V and Xperia™ ray. Soon after, starting from end April/early May, Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini and mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ active as well as Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™ will get their upgrades.  

This will be a phased roll out over several weeks and all kits for a specific phone model will not get the upgrade at the same time. For more information about what’s going on during the process of an Android software upgrade, please check out this blog post  from our Developer World team. It gives a comprehensive overview of the steps we need to take to ensure great software qualityonce it reaches the phone in your hand. Below is a summary of the process:

• It starts with public push when we as a manufacturer get access to the new Android release from Google
• Our developers take the existing Xperia™ software and combine it with the new Android release
• Once the coding is done we want to make sure the quality of the new software meets our, our partners and your expectations
• Now we feel the new software is ready but we also need to make sure it’s approved by our external partners
• All good. We’re all set to roll-out the new software. The story continues in your Xperia™ smartphone

As you can see, there are many steps involved and it’s a comprehensive upgrade in terms of number of products. 

So, how do you know when the new software is available for your Xperia™ smartphone?

Owners of  2011 Xperia™ smartphone will receive a notification in the phone instructing them to download the software over the air via 3G or WiFi. Alternatively, they will have the option to connect to a computer and download it via PC companion.

Over the next months we will be keeping you up to date on progress and we will also share video demos of the new software running on 2011 Xperia™ smartphones.

* “2011 Xperia™ Portfolio” refers to the following products: Xperia™ arc and arc S, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo and neo V, Xperia™ mini and mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ active, Xperia™ ray as well as Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™

There had been talks about Sony Ericsson shifting the head quarters to Japan since Sony bought all off Sony Ericsson. News has arrived that the new head quarters will not be in Japan but in Lund, Sweden. Also, there are plans to open a development office in Copenhagen, Denmark. The sales, marketing and Communication departments will remain in London.
