Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo and Xperia Pro are first Android handsets to get Skype video calling feature!
And it seems it will be integrated into phonebook, so you can directly video-call someone instead of going to app and stuff (nice,IMO)
You can also switch to front camera, which is useful when you connect your phone to TV, which makes it kinda video conference style.
Skype app is available on the Android Market.
Found a nice video about Android activations from the Google I/O 2011 in San Francisco.
Here it is:
Android will overtake everything xD
We all thought it would never happen, but the fully locked down X10 got cracked!Once again thanks to the great devs.
The_laser posted at xda that “maxrfon” found a bug in Qualcomm’s mcu bootrom RSA signature verification.That means the devs have the full control over semcboot which allows them to hack the bootloader instead of bypassing it.zdzihu and other devs are currently working on a save method to flash the modified bootloader, let’s hope they find a save way soon.
Also he posted the 1024-bit key at xda: click here to read it
If you want to follow the work of the devs you can watch the thread over here
This will allow the devs to make fully working custom ROMs and simlock can be removed for free, no need for buying unlock codes anymore.
zdzihu posted a comment from Sony Ericsson that says they won’t update the bootloaders of the X10 with the 2.3.3 update – which is good for the X10 users. The reason is that by updating the bootloader the X10 can be bricked.
What will Sony Ericsson say about it? They should be very suprised when they read the news.
We’ll keep you updated.

Yes you have just red that correctly: I have found a video that shows a huge 32 inch multitouch display running Android 2.3!
Ok, so it’s not strictly true; the firmware is running on what has been called an Android terminal, with the much bigger screen connected via USB for the touch and HDMI for the screen itself. Still, in my eyes it is rather impressive!
