I thought it would be fun to do a little comparison between the old Idou render and the Satio one. Besides the obvious wallpaper change, can you spot other differences? More than 5 even? Eleven in total, kids.
One of the lads from our affiliate site, mobiwoo, that attended the London even on the 28th has posted a rather lenghty article, describing his experience at the press conference and saying what he thinks about the newly-announced phones, namely Satio, Aino and Yari. It makes for quite an interesting read, if you’re into these three phones. Hit the source link for the article.
And here we have yet another preview from the GSMArena labs. This time it’s about Sony Ericsson’s semi-touchscreen Aino. Yep, the one with the new Media center, PS3 Remote Play, Wi-Fi and teh 8 megapixel camera. Generally, they seem to be quite happy with the handset, although at numerous points they reserved their judgement, due to the unoptimized condition of the pre-release software. Here’s the conclusion:
Well, the Sony Ericsson Aino surely did surprise it. The very concept of it is so un-Sony-Ericsson-like. You’ve got a huge touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, plus all of the other the well-known goodies. We’ve gotta say that the microSD card support is more than welcome as well.
No longer do you have to choose between a Cyber-shot and a Walkman, and no longer should you go for other mobile phones when decent video recording is a must. It seems that Sony Ericsson are changing their game plan and thus they may be even changing the game itself.
Our pals over at our new affiliate site, Mobiwoo, were also attending the London event yesterday. So they had a play with all 3 handsets - namely the Satio, the Aino and the Yari - and took some photos as well. Hit the links below to see what I’m talking about.
