Sony Ericsson’s own ambassador - Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova - wore a rather striking dress at an event in London on the 17th June. What’s so unique about it is that it uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone and lights up when you’ve got an incoming call. That way you know when someone’s calling you even when you can’t hear your phone (say, in a noisy club). This “light up” effect is described to originate from “small, white translucent scale embellishments that run down one side of the dress from the shoulder to the hip”.
The concept dress was designed by George Davies, a London College of Fashion student. The prototype garment is still far from being a commercial product, so you gals should probably stop wondering how on earth you’d have to wash this thing.
Quite frankly, I’ve never expected to see such a funny video about a commercial product on YouTube. Much less from Sony Ericsson (and even less from the other phone manufacturers, actually).
One of the few YouTube videos that have made me chuckle, really.
Remember that third mysterious colour we mentioned in our review of the C510? Well, we did say it would be white and red. So, it’s not such a big deal, actually. And yes, it is now official. Doesn’t this colour combination remind you of Mirror’s Edge, somehow?
Anyway, just to freshen your memory, the C510 is a mid-range cyber-shot cameraphone with a 3.2 megapixel camera, Photo flash, face and smile detection, a cool lens cover, an accelerometer and other stuff. For a complete list visit Sony Ericsson’s web page.
Sony Ericsson’s next Windows Mobile flagship – the (supposedly named) X2 has been photographed yet again. This time the leaked photo shows a white version of the phone and a much better view of the QWERTY keypad – we think.
So, the next XPERIA is rumoured to boast an 8 megapixel camera, a large 3.2″ (3.5″?) touchscreen amongst many other niceties, including its predecessor’s features. The new menu looks like to be the homescreen of Windows Mobile 6.5 in stead of the 6.1 version in the X1. We’ll just have to wait and see whether all of this is true. Ya’ hear that, SE?
