OnLive heads to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia PLAY
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play may have debuted to lukewarm reviews in 2011, but game streaming king OnLive has given it a reprieve by making its service available on the smartphone.
OnLive has managed to show the world that cloud gaming can actually work – especially on the big screen, where all you have to do is plug in its receiver to stream content.
Its launch on handheld devices earlier this month, however, was a harder sell. Yes you play premium games on a tablet but you have to use either fiddly virtual controls or and external joypad, which is decent but not perfect when your screen is no bigger than 10 inches.
Enter the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play, the only smartphone around with analo...

Xperia Play now has 200 games available to download, some are free for the holidays
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia PLAY
When the Xperia Play smartphone / gaming console hybrid launched in March, there were 60 games available for download; eight months later, Sony Ericsson has reached 200 games optimized for the device. We're glad to see the company's stayed devoted to the product and platform, but the 200 number might be a bit misleading — it includes a number of standard Android games that have been only slightly adapted for Sony Ericsson's device, and the number of Xperia Play-exclusive games is still quite small, though it includes good games like FIFA 12 and Dead Space. The company's made some strides toward getting PlayStation games onto the device, but those strides have been few and far between.

The folks at what will soon be simply Sony have released the XPERIA active here in the United States this week officially, complete with protection against elements of all kinds and connectivity on AT&T – though you’ll be purchasing the device off-contract at first.

All this and a 5-megapixel camera for $340 unlocked – seem like your next device of choice, or has Sony dropped a brand new completely impenetrable brick...

Alleged Sony Ericsson Nozomi official render leaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia S
From the confines of Chinese forums we found this little excerpt from what is claimed to be an official picture of the Sony Ericsson Nozomi. The side render coincides with what we've seen leaked in flesh and blood in the wild before, and confirms the phone is coming in white.
Granted, the image is very small, and the technical specifications are cut out, but you can still see the word "Dual" which would confirm once again that we might be having the first mutlicore Android handset from the company in the face of the Sony Ericsson Nozomi. Another proof is the 1920x1xxx line under the camera section, which would imply 1080p HD video capture that we usually associate with dual-core handsets.

UK Deal: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S now available with Orange's £20.50/month contract at Phones4U
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony EricssonXperia arc S
Third-party phone retailer Phones4U has a great deal for the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, offering the sexy smartphone for free with Orange’s 20.50 GBP per month plan. That money won’t get you too far though, but for some folks it could be a good enough solution – you get 200 voice minutes, 3,000 texts and 100MB of mobile data per month. Presuming you’re not calling a lot and rely mostly on Wi-Fi hotspots for mobile Internet, this plan could be just what you need. Otherwise — if you still want the Xperia arc S — you’ll have to pick some other plan with the phone.

All Sony Ericsson smartphones announced this year will get Android 4.0
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSony EricssonGoogleAndroid 4.0
Sony Ericsson confirmed that all of its 2011 smartphones will get Android 4.0. The Dutch arm of the Swedish-Japanese handset maker turned to Facebook to announce the news, which will affect a number of devices such as Xperia Play, neo, neo V, mini, mini pro, Ray, Pro, active, arc and arc S. In other words, the new Android Ice Cream Sandwich is optimized enough to be able to run on phones with a single-core 1GHz processor or at least Sony Ericsson thinks so. The company will first release Gingerbread 2.3.4 updates, though.

Giving you a new opportunity to tell your favorite carrier exactly where it can stick that nasty two-year agreement, the unlocked Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray has made its official debut in the United States.

Sony Ericsson lends hand to FreeXperia devs, shows love for CyanogenMod 7.1
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSony Ericsson
Turns out, Sony Ericsson is really coming around to the understanding that Android phones are not a one-size-fits-all proposition. After taking notice of the FreeXperia team's tireless efforts to bring CyanogenMod 7.1 to certain SE devices, the company is now "pulling a Samsung" by lending its support to the cause. The firm has provided the group with approximately 20 phones, along with debugged and rebuilt camera library binaries to ensure a proper user experience. Not stopping there, Sony Ericsson hopes to make these bits available to all developers under a special EULA in the near future. Of course, the company continues to remind its users that it doesn't specifically condone unlocking t...

Can't wait for your high-speed Xperia Arc upgrade?
