Now that the X10 announcement is behind us, the focus is back on the upcoming Sony Ericsson ‘Kurara’, Satio’s little sister. The ‘Kurara’ will be launched under the Entertainment Unlimited banner and will be based on the Symbian S60 platform. According to rumors, the device will sport a 3.5 inch AMOLED touchscreen, an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus and HD-recording.
In all probability, the ‘Kurara’ will be launched at MWC next year and should be available in H1 2010.
Rumours are appearing online that Sony Ericsson are working on a scaled down version of Satio to be presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next year. The current chatter on the tubes is that it will also be S60 and feature a full touchscreen like Satio, but instead of a 12 MP camera it will sport an 8 MP camera. Apparently named Kurara (at least for the moment), the device is said to be part of the Entertainment Unlimited series.
Well here we go … only 8 days until Rachael is officially announced! Sony Ericsson have launched a teaser page with 3rd November given as the date of something new. Indeed Sony Ericsson pose the question “Sometimes there’s a thin line between the extraordinary and the magical. Did we cross it?”
Why is everyone so sure it’s Rachael? Well the source code for the page just so happens to mention Rachael by name. Sadly not the official desiganation, but it’s definitely Rachael. Actually, there’s more than one reference to ‘infinity’ on the page; an infinity symbol and the source code mentions “Rachael - infinity”. Hopefully ‘infinity’ is a tag line and not the name of Rachael … that just seems too cheesey.
So it looks like the long wait for Rachael is almost over …
Earlier today we posted up a picture of a new Sony Ericsson handset, codenamed Susan,. Speculation is rife in the blogosphere as to whether this is a new Android handset from Sony Ericsson or whether it’s just running a new version of Sony Ericsson’s own platform. At any rate here’s a short introductory video for the handset.
The rumour mill over Rachael, Sony Ericsson’s first Android handset, has been ratcheting up lately. We’ve seen various pictures appear, rumours of a Snapdragon processor and speculation on a release date. Well the latest rumour is that it’s not going to be called the X3 after all, but instead the X10. A chap over on Tweakers.net (translated to English) who claims to have access to an X3 (or X10 if you will) and information from a Sony Ericsson insider is stating that it will indeed be known as the X10 when it is finally released sometime in the first 8 weeks of 2010.
Why change the name though? ‘X3′ fit in perfectly well with the existing range of Xperia handsets. More importantly though, does it even matter?
