Android 2.0.1 dual-boot XPERIA X1 hack [Video]

Chris Davies, Feb 3rd 2010 Discuss [1]

Over at xda-developers they're pathologically addicted to getting software to run on devices it was never intended to, and fed up of waiting for Sony Ericsson's debut into the Android ecosystem, the XPERIA X10, they've focused instead on getting Android onto an earlier phone. Normally the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 is found playing nicely with Windows Mobile, but you can now dual-boot it with that and Android 2.0.1. Read The Full Story

There has been much noise over Sony Ericsson’s upcoming X10, purportedly launching 2nd quarter – let’s add 3D mapping to the X10’s list of features to clamor over.

Chris Davies, Jan 7th 2010 Discuss [0]

Having broken cover for the first time yesterday, we've now got a second in-the-wild sighting of the Sony Ericsson Robyn, believed to be the company's "mini" version of the XPERIA X10. Over at French site PointGPhone they've snapped the Robyn cavorting with an iPhone, and looking seriously dwarfed in the process. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Jan 6th 2010 Discuss [1]

Now here's an interesting little leak for Sony Ericsson aficionados: GSMArena have been sent a couple of in-the-wild shots of what's tipped to be the Sony Ericsson Robyn (presumably an internal codename), a mini version of the XPERIA X10. Details on the new smartphone are scant, though we know it has a touchscreen and runs Android. Read The Full Story

Canada’s Rogers claim Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 for Q2 2010 North America debut

Chris Davies, Jan 5th 2010 Discuss [0]

Canadian carrier Rogers Wireless has become the first to announce it will be offering the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, though neither carrier nor company are yet saying exactly when the Android smartphone will arrive. Set to go on sale sometime in Q2 2010 - later than Sony Ericsson told us back at the handset's launch - the XPERIA X10 will be a Rogers exclusive in the country, and will apparently "make its North American debut first in Canada".

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 gets video playtime with HD2, Omnia II, iPhone 3GS

Chris Davies, Nov 27th 2009 Discuss [0]

There's no real new technical data in this latest video of Sony Ericsson's unreleased XPERIA X10, but it does give us a chance to see the Android smartphone cavorting with HTC's HD2, Samsung's Omnia II and that perennial favorite, the iPhone 3GS. Size-wise, if you thought the HD2 was too big then you should probably cancel your XPERIA X10 preorder, as the two look pretty darn similar; in fact, as the video after the cut shows, the X10 is actually a little chubbier than HTC's WinMo finest.

Sony Ericsson Nexus UX Platform WebSDK released for Android & Symbian Foundation development

Chris Davies, Nov 18th 2009 Discuss [0]

We may be giving Sony Ericsson a darn good scolding on the one hand for their XPERIA X10 hijinks, but we're a little more interested by their new WebSDK for Android and Symbian Foundation devices. The Sony Ericsson WebSDK promises a metaphorical hand-holding for developers hoping to have their wares nestle up against the company's own apps, whether that be on the XPERIA X10 or the SE Satio. It's called Nexus, seemingly the official title for the UX platform Sony Ericsson were talking about with regards the X10. Read The Full Story

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 February launch date yanked

Chris Davies, Nov 18th 2009 Discuss [1]

Having tracked Sony Ericsson for years now, it comes as little surprise to see that, after plenty of happy noises about the apparently confirmed February 2010 release of the XPERIA X10, the company's online store has now whipped away the date details. The "coming soon" page now merely says "to be announced" and reiterates the Q1 2010 window, which is all Sony Ericsson would tell us officially when the XPERIA X10 was announced a few weeks back.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 video demo: ah, there’s the Snapdragon speed

Chris Davies, Nov 17th 2009 Discuss [0]

Sony Ericsson's launch event for the XPERIA X10, their first Android smartphone, was slightly undermined by the fact that their single demo prototype proved to be not exactly the Snapdragon speed-demon we all expected. The company's homegrown Timescape and Mediascape apps ran like molasses in a permafrost, which Sony Ericsson told us was due to them not having been optimized for the hardware. Happily HDblog have had access to a newer prototype, and theirs looks positively snappy. Video demo after the cut Read The Full Story

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 coming Feb 2010 says official store

Chris Davies, Nov 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

Sony Ericsson weren't, to be fair, being all that coy about their launch plans for the XPERIA X10 Android smartphone back at its launch a few weeks ago: asked when it was likely the touchscreen Snapdragon handset would arrive within its "Q1 2010" window, the SE exec told us "it's not going to be the beginning or the end of the quarter". We presumed a February release, then, likely around or about Mobile World Congress, and sure enough Sony Ericsson's own online store are suggesting a February arrival for the X10.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 gets official: Hands-on Video Demo

Chris Davies, Nov 2nd 2009 Discuss [5]

Sony Ericsson have finally come clean on their latest smartphone, and as expected it’s an Android flagship. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 – previously known as the Rachael and the X3 – is a Snapdragon-based touchscreen candybar, with a huge display, 8.1-megapixel camera and some “special sauce” in the shape of two homegrown applications – for communication aggregation and media aggregation – with a custom UI. SlashGear caught up with Sony Ericsson in London yesterday to take a look at the new smartphone, and find out why the company reckons this is the launch not only of the Android X10 but of a new “user experience platform”.
