Leaked Sony Ericsson Win Phone 7 Handset?

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Sometimes you just can’t beat a good old fashioned rumour accompanied by some leaked pictures so here we go!

What you see here are what are purported to be leaked images of a Sony Ericsson Windows Phone 7 device. Are the pictures real? Well from what I have been able to tell so far the consensus is yes, or at least it could be an early prototype, but the jury is still out so don’t put too much faith in these pictures yet. One source whom I trust is siding on the side of saying they are indeed the real deal, but as I say keep that pinch of salt at the ready.

If they do prove to be real then we have a full blown QWERTY slider from Sony Ericsson,somewhat reminiscent of the X1. Rumours of a Sony Ericsson Windows Phone 7 device have abounded for a while now of course, not the least of which was Julie, but that was thought to have been scrapped. Maybe this is Julie and the pictures are simply old? Maybe it is something new?

One thing that does seem odd here though is Sony Ericsson going down the Windows Phone 7 route after having recently announced the Xperia Play. Why is that odd? Well simply put Sony Ericsson (and Sony) are trying to launch what is essentially a new gaming platform on Android and doesn’t it seem just a little bizzarre that Sony Ericsson should them commit to a platform with a completely separate, and rival, gaming platform?

At any rate enjoy the pictures!

UPDATE: rog confirms my own suspicions that this is indeed an old prototype that has since been cancelled.

Kaspersky: Android Will Own 80% Of The Market

Thursday, February 17th, 2011

Eugene Kaspersky, the chap behind the anti-virus software of the same name, has been making some predictions about the future of smartphones at MWC and basically it boils down to Android dominating the market.

Kaspersky predicts that Android will grow to dominate the market with an 80% share whilst the likes of Apple and RIM scramble for the remaining 20%.

I believe that if Apple, BlackBerry, Microsoft don’t change their strategy very soon we will soon have the same mobile operating system landscape as we have with computers

The reference at the end there is to Microsoft and IBM in the 80’s when they dominated the home computer market. This time aroud the combo would be Google and Qualcomm. It’s pure speculation of course, but Android is undeniably growing faster than any other mobile platform right now. Will it come to dominate? Who knows, but if any one OS has a chance of doing so it’s probably Android.
