Sony Ericsson have created a demo video to show us around the new Timescape and Mediscape apps/UI that we’ll be treated to in the Xperia X10.
Timescape aggregates all your communications while Mediascape is your media hub, surprisingly! It all looks rather slick, roll on Q1 2010.
You remember that video of Rachael’s UI that we posted a few months ago? Well today another video showing off more of Rachael’s UI has popped up on YouTube. It’s a pretty sweet look and what looks to be a pretty sweet UI, and with the official announcement mere days away the whole Rachael/X10 circus is now firmly in town and everyone seems to be enjoying themselves!
The chaps over at Mobile-Burn have posted up a video of Pureness being unboxed. Not everyone’s cup of tea and the artsy hoo-ha Sony Ericsson have tried to create around it is a bit cheesy, but the video is well worth a look.
Could Rachael become any more exciting? Yes! Here we have a teaser video for the forthcoming handset, tentatively dubbed the X10. It only adds to the hype that is starting to build up around Sony Ericsson’s first Android handset. Roll on Tuesday!
Support for Android 2.0 has officially been added to the SDK, which means that developers can now go ahead and start using the new functionality of 2.0. For the rest of us here are the major changes:
Support for multiple Google and Exchange accounts
Third-party “sync adapters” allow apps to tie in to the phone’s sync services
Quick contact menus for fast access to specific key pieces of contact information
Unified email inbox
SMS and MMS search
Text message auto-delete after a user-defined thread size is reached
Significantly improved camera controls with white balance, macro, effects, and more
Improved keyboard layout, dictionary, and algorithm based on multi-touch support
Double-tap zoom in browser, support for HTML5
Bluetooth 2.1 support with addition of OPP and PBAP profiles
“Better” graphics hardware acceleration
With Sony Ericsson’s first Android handset just round the corner many will be wondering whether or not it is going to feature Android 2.0 from the outset. There’s still no word on that, but given the enhancements 2.o will bring we can only hope. The first device to use 2.0 will be Motorola’s Droid, which is scheduled to be unveiled by American network Verizon tomorrow. Check out the video below to see 2.o in action:
