In this age of full compatibility where we can use our Blackberrys as stereo remotes and have our Apple iPhone open our curtains, Sony Ericsson is stepping into the game with the Aino.
This fully packed slider phone has the unique ability to be able to communicate with Playstation 3 devices. Unfortunately gaming is not yet available between the device and the PS3, but the fact that Sony is taking this route must be an indication that it could be in the cards. However, currently the Aino will be able to sync music, videos, photos and other media from the PS3.
In addition to that neat feature the phone is also going to be 3G capable, with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a none-too-shabby 3 inch screen. The phone will also be featuring an 8.1 Megapixel camera, which is quickly becoming the industry standard for camera phones as a new generation of 12 MP camera phones are starting to hit the market.
So get gaming and get calling! Let us know what you think. Is this going to make a difference in your phone shopping or are you an XBox 360 fan anyway?
All you Sony Ericsson fans out there may have a date to mark on your calendars. A Sony Ericsson representative has been heard stating that the Idou is most likely going to be available for sale in October with a possible back-up date in November.
How did we hear about this? We’ve heard it through the grapevine and are passing it along. The source originated with the Swedish mobile site mobile.se and comes to us through Boy Genius reports. All reputable sources who we hope are telling the truth.
The Sony Ericsson Idou has been a hot topic ever since it was previewed at the CTIA earlier this year. The phone is going to pack a whoppingly powerful 12 MP camera, the Symbiansmartphone OS and much much more.
So let us cross our fingers and hope the date is true and then we can have a truly happy Hallowe’en.
It is 2009 and we declare it the year of the touch screen. People are clamoring to keep up with the waves the Apple iPhone 3G have already made and the latest line to jump on board is Sony Ericsson.
At the Mobile World conference this weekend Sony Ericsson announced several new phones that are scheduled for release later this year. The phone that has been making the most noise however is the “Idou“. This is currently the code-name for Sony Ericsson’s first full touch screen phone slated to be released in the second half of 2009.
Here are some of the features that have really caught our eye:
12.1 Megapixel camera (!!)
Beautiful 3.5 inch full touch screen interface
Symbian S60 open source OS
Accelerometer
Details are still sparse at this point, but we imagine more press releases concerning the model are bound to leak out soon.
Let us know if you have any details or thoughts about Sony Ericsson’s first venture into a full touch screen device.

Pictures have leaked of the sweet new Sony Ericsson G705. Sony is expected to make more official announcements of the phone in the coming weeks, but the trusty internet has given us a bit of a head start.
Some highlights of the camera include GPS and also like the C905 this model comes equipped with . The camera isn’t the most amazing piece of equipment at 3.0 megapixels and no autofocus. But it’s a minor drawback to an otherwise wicked looking phone.
This Sony Ericsson slider model is going to be just another addition to SE’s already power house of a mobile phone line up.
