Say goodbye to the UK flagship store

October 1st, 2008 by Michell

Sony Ericsson has decided to pull the plug on its UK flagship store, apparently because it’s failing to make a profit. I personally think it’s due to the major cuts that’ll soon take place, but I guess anyone can make a guess on that.

The large flagship store was launched back in November 2006. You can read more about the news at Mobile Today at the link below.

Sony Ericsson video Q&A and X1 video demo

September 30th, 2008 by Michell

A very interesting video Q&A with Sony Ericsson’s President, Hideki Komiyama, and Rikko Sakaguchi, Senior Vice President and Head of Portfolio & Proposition at Sony Ericsson, was posted at Trace and Matt’s Blog. Komiyama tells that they’re definitely working on innovative products and that they’re aware of their problems. It’ll take three to four months (and yeah, we agree!). Also, Rikko Sakaguchi tells that they know that they cannot keep on segmenting products, and he even comments on the JavaOne video on YouTube. That made me giggle a bit :-)

Also, a comprehensive video demo of the X1 was posted. Check it out!

By the way, if you’re wondering what’s happening with the various embedded Sony Ericsson applications on USEB, that’s simply a part of SE’s blogger and community outreach. They’re also going to set up a number of competitions for both readers and blog authors, so keep an eye out on this place. If you’ve got dreams of starting your own SE blog, now would be a good time to do it, too :-) They’re really doing a great job keeping up with the web communities nowadays, latest with the launch of Xperiancers.com.
