Sony S1 to Launch in First Half of September as Sony Tablet S

We had heard that Sony S1 and S2 would launch in September and it looks like Sony S1′s release is at least confirmed along with a final christening. According to engadget, Sony will be releasing Sony Tablet S (aka Sony S1) in the first two weeks of September.

The PlayStation certified tablet with its folded magazine design will ship with Android 3.1 on board with the promise of an Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade when the version comes out. Sony S1 has been spotted in teaser videos, clicks, and hands-on videos across nations. We’ll list out all the things this lovely tab will feature:

·  9.4-inch 1280x768p LED-lit TruBlack display for more vibrant colors, deeper black, and lesser glare

·  1GHz Tegra 2 dual core processor

·  1GB RAM

·  5mp rear camera for photo and video capture and 3mp front camera for video chatting

·  Universal IR remote control capabilities for TV, Blu-ray Player, DVR, and other home entertainment devices

• “Throw” compatible music, movies, and images on TV/AV devices (non-Sony too) with DLNA support
• Quickview enhancement for better browsing
• Quick Touch Panel
• Preloaded PlayStation games
• Support for SD memory cards (up to 2GB) and SDHC memory cards (up to 32GB)
• Music Unlimited with over 6 million songs
• Video Unlimited (rent or purchase)
• Reader Store

Pictures of Sony Tablet S on engadget also show a keyboard dock and dock for sitting the tab for easy viewing of videos, movies, etc.; USB adapter to access compatible USB devices such as flash drives and cameras; and more.

Sony Tablet S looks like a tab worth waiting for. Hopefully, it will ship with a price that’s pocket friendly too. I’m not sure which one I’m excited over more – Sony Tablet S or S2. Hope the dual screen tab will release the same month as well.

Android Sony Walkman prototype gets IFA showing

Sony showed off a Walkman Mobile Entertainment Player on its stand at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin.

It was quickly pointed out to us that this was a prototype, but we can see where Sony are headed with this one, and that’s straight up against the iPod touch.
The dedicated Walkman device offers a 4.3-inch display and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. As such, it is essentially a phone without the telephone part, but it does at least look to offer you all the goodness of Google, so you’ll be able to access Android Market to download apps to your heart’s content.
Sony’s software reflects what we’ve seen previously on its new tablets - the S and the P - with some of the same features evident in the video player, letting us skip through scenes of a movie and the option to share it with the TV via DLNA.
On the music front, a dedicated Walkman-logoed button on the side launches you straight into the music player, with the option for gesture controls, also seen on Sony's Tablet S, which offers gesture remote control functions.
One interesting feature was the ability to swipe from the album art over into the lyrics, although Sony was coy about where you’d source the lyrics. A Sony agent loitering nearby told us that there wasn’t currently an official delivery method for lyrics, so it appears to be something of a feature in development.

The build was pretty solid and the design was good, but we can’t help feeling that the lack of a camera might raise a few eyebrows, especially given how capable Android is when it comes to sharing images.
A Walkman PMP does muddy the water a little however. We’ve already got a run of Android smartphones from Sony Ericsson - which offer all the same features and more - as well as a line of Walkman devices.
While a dedicated PMP might make sense for Apple with the iPod touch, we’re not as convinced that Android has the same appeal in the most general sense. The iPhone is expensive to own, giving the iPod touch an essential hook in offering iOS, and Apple’s services, in a more affordable package. Android, by contrast, is easier to access at a huge range of price points.
Howard Stringer, Sony president and CEO, made a point of emphasising how Sony was contributing to both entertainment creation and consumption in his opening keynote saying "Sony, we like to think, is where art meets technology… one company makes entertainment and what you need to experience it". Perhaps Sony sees its own Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited services as being strong enough to hook people in.
Of course, you could just get yourself a Sony EricssonXperia Arc S, which is slimmer, lighter and offers you a phone too…

Sony Ericsson Dual Core HD "Nozomi" Phone To Take On iPhone 5 Next Year

March 2012 appeas to be a long way from now (half a year) but Sony Ericsson is apparently going to be launching a new phone then codenamed Nozomi, a handset that will be the flagship device for the company for the rest of the year.
One source close to Sony Ericsson told XperiaBlog that the phone will come with a 1.5GHz dual core SoC (probably a Qualcomm model), 1GB RAM, 32GB internal storage, a 4.3-inch display with a HD ready resolution (1280x720 pixels).

This would give the Nozomi a higher pixel density compared to the iPhone 4 (342ppi vs 326ppi); the phone will also be the first one to come with a microSIM like the Nokia N9 and the iPhone 4. It will also sport a 1750mAh and NFC capabilities but will lack any memory card option which, we suspect, means that we might see a Windows-based Nozomi version as well.
Expect the phone to be launched at the annual Sony Ericsson party in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress 2012 and to replace the Sony Ericsson ARC S as the top of SE's portfolio.
It is likely that the followup to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, the Xperia Pro and the Xperia Play - the one we're most eager to see - will also be presented.

Sony Ericsson introduces 3D photography to 2D phones

New Xperia Arc S can take 3D panoramas using a standard camera, using a new feature that will also be added to other Sony Ericsson Xperia devices. 

Sony Ericsson’s new top-of-the-range mobile phone will be able to take 3D panoramic pictures using a standard 2D camera, the company has announced.
By taking multiple images and then stitching them together, the Xperia Arc Swill be able to simulate 3D on any appropriately equipped 3D television, the manufacturer said. On the phone itself, pictures will only be viewable in 2D.
The device is based on Google’s Android operating system and will be released from October in the UK. Sony Ericsson also claims that it runs 25 per cent faster than its predecessors, the Arc, because of a faster, 1.4GHz processor.
The Arc S includes a 4.2” screen and the camera definition is 8.1MP. Any 3D images are viewed by connecting the phone to a 3D TV using the HDMI output.
Sony Ericsson’s new products are increasingly integrated into Sony’s mainstream products: the Arc S can act as a remote control for Sony Bravia televisions, and it also features Sony’s Music and Video Unlimited media stores.

Hands on: Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S review

Sony refreshed its arc line-up at IFA 2011, with the company announcing the Sony Xperia Arc S, a smartphone that has been given something of a speed injecting – Sony is quoting speeds 25 per cent faster than its predecessor, the Sony Ericsson Arc.
TechRadar managed to get a hands-on with the Xperia Arc S and were pleased with our first impressions of the device.
In the hand, the Arc is a beautiful piece of kit. Given that the original Arc is still one of the best-designed Android devices around it's good to see that not much has been changed from a chassis point of view.
Display-wise, the Arc S has been given a 4.2-inch Reality display which made the stock images found on the phone ping with colour.

 

The screen was big enough to enjoy browsing the web and when we loaded up TechRadar, the load times did seem fast. Given that Wi-Fi on the show floor is not the best test conditions for this sort of thing, web pages did load with some speed, validating the '20% increase in web browsing speeds' Sony Ericsson is touting - thanks to the 1.4GHz processor at the heart of the Xperia Arc S.

 The Arc S we tried out had Android 2.3.4 on it, with Sony Ericsson's own Timescape UI on top of this. We liked some of the touches this skin offered to Android, especially when you pinched the homescreen and was presented with the floating widgets bouncing around the screen, ready to take you to whichever screen you desire.
The Sony Ericsson Arc S has been given some hefty imaging power, thanks to Sony's Exmor R mobile imaging sensor, which offers 8.1MP quality shots and 720P HD footage.

We took a couple of images when Sony's press conference lighting was at its moodiest and the sensor worked well under the low-light conditions.
To give the handset a 3D slant, Sony has added 3D Sweep Panorama, which the Arc S supports. If you are not one for 3D, then the camera also does 2D Sweep Panorama as well.

If you like the shots you take, then the Arc S has a mini-HDMI slot so you can playback your content on a hi-def television.
The Arc S also gives you the ability to share media content with the Bravia TV and home cinema range, with the phone acting as a remote control.

We can't wait to get the Sony Ericsson Arc S into our test labs to test out the true speed of the handset but first impressions are extremely promising. There was no apparent lag when swiping through the myriad homescreens and everything from camera shutter speeds and web page load times did seem to be improved.

It is perhaps Sony's new ecosystem that the Arc S will benefit most from, however. The handset is linked straight to Sony Music Unlimited and Sony Video Unlimited, offering up millions of music tracks and video content to download straight to your handset.

This is Sony's big charge at Apple and iTunes; unfortunately our handset wasn't connected to the services but the demos we saw impressed. And if it is anything like the device, then it could be one to look out for.
