So what do you think? Is multitouch necessary to buy it? Or do you prefer a cheap price?

Here’s our 12-minute video preview of the drool-worthy XPERIA X1. In the video, we’re covering the design and feel of the phone, boot-up, the XPERIA panels, camera and briefly the two web browsers, Opera Mobile and Mobile Internet Explorer. We hope you enjoy the video, as it was straight-up painful to upload (almost 300 megabytes) – this one is not going on YouTube, that’s for sure! At least not today. Keep in mind this is a prototype, although it seems in a stage awfully near retail.
September 15th is the date where Sony Ericsson will be giving an exclusive, in-depth demonstration of the X1. But until then, they’ve got something else for us. An alternative reality trailer of Johnny X. I’m unsure whether it’s a movie or what it is, but it can be found at this website.
By the way, it seems Wolfstar is doing a rather good job at promoting Sony Ericsson’s online communications. Just have a look at the website – it’s possible to digg it, add it to facebook and myspace, and more. Also – Sony Ericsson’s got a YouTube channel and it is more active than ever nowadays.
It seems like it’s taken Sony Ericsson forever to get the X1 ready. But finally, we’ve got some news – a closed X1 launch webcast is due in roughly two weeks, and a few days ago the XPERIA SDK was published at Sony Ericsson’s developer site, with the press release being published yesterday.
The SDK (software development kit) will allow developers to create their very own XPERIA panels, and test them out in an emulator on the computer. You can check out all the documentation and features of the XPERIA SDK for Windows Mobile over at Sony Ericsson’s developer website. The download is 9.1 megabytes, and can be downloaded directly here.

Maximys over at SEMC Blog has just reported that the upcoming PlayNow Arena services will be launched in two versions; one for your computer and one for your phone. I like the look of both versions, and I sincerely hope this will be used by consumers. This should also make it easier for new musicians to make a name for themselves.
Maximys also added that the services will soon be launched in Sweden and the United Kingdom, while the rest of us will have to wait a bit longer. I’m sure I’ll get round to do a review of the service once it launches, though.
Here’s an internal test view at the PlayNow Arena service for computers, also dubbed the Web service.
And here are a few screenshots of the handheld services for mobile phones, dubbed the WAP service.

Apparently I wasn’t the only one who felt that Sony Ericsson’s former support page could do with a makeover. Sony Ericsson recently updated its looks, and made it completely in tune with the bubbly design of the rest of the website. They’ve also re-organized quite a lot of everything there, making it a lot easier for new consumers to find what they need in a hurry. Have a look yourself over at Sony Ericsson’s support page.

By the way… We’ll soon be updating the theme of the blog yet again. Major theme update this time bringing along many enhancements, such as improved search and a lighter code, as well as a fixed content width making it possible for me to post images up to about 700 pixels in width!
I bet some of you have checked out the JavaOne conferences, but obviously no-one has gone through them in depth. In one of the videos, Rikko Sakaguchi at Sony Ericsson actually leaks an upcoming phone, well, sort of… After having showcased the video below at the JavaOne conference, Sakaguchi says “actually… you saw the device in the video? That’s something that we’re going to launch this year.” However! If we look closely at a few screenshots from the video, you’ll notice that there’s actually two devices, and not one. Could this be different prototypes for one phone? I mean, Sakaguchi did say “the device”.
Remember, Rikko Sakaguchi is the Senior Vice-President and Head of Product & Application Planning at Sony Ericsson, so it doesn’t get much more official than this.
I must remind you though that this video is almost 2 years old, so a few things might have changed. Now, feel free to let your minds wander.
From JavaOne video.
It has been reported that the head of marketing at Sony Ericsson (could this be John Bernard?) has said that “WiFi is dead” and that it’ll soon be replaced by much faster mobile network communications. He also compared WiFi hot spots to the invention of the telephone box.
What do you guys think of this statement?
The A200 platform supports WLAN connection, however there are no devices with built-in WLAN. Sony Ericsson is now trying to make up for this by soon announcing a WiFi Enabler accessory, that is most likely to look at work like the FM transmitters, MMR-60 and MMR-70, and make use of the Fast Port connector.
Furthermore, Sony Ericsson is working on a follow-up GPS Enabler, called GPS Enabler 2 (Helmer Fingal II) and also a sport GPS accessory. G900 is reportedly going to come with the GPS Enabler as a part of the consumer package.
How can we be sure of it all? Well, it was leaked in the G700/G900 white papers, which you can at Sony Ericsson’s Developer World.
PS. The WiFi accessory image is of course just a mock-up – the K850 screenshot isn’t, though!
