索爱 Android - Sony Ericsson Android

Sony Ericsson says it will release an Android powered cellphone, but it will take time before such a handset is launched. CEO Hideki Komiyama told Reuters that offering a device with the Google open source OS takes time for testing, evaluation and consumer acceptance. While many other cellphone manufacturers are rushing out Android backed models, Komiyama said that Sony Ericsson is focusing on how it can make units that are different than those of its competition despite sharing the same OS. That goal also applies to high-end phones that the partnership is making with Windows Mobile and Symbian software. Mr. Komiyama said that Sony Ericsson has no idea when its first Android handset will be available, but we know that there are many Sony Ericsson fans out there who just can't wait.

Sony Ericsson CEO Hideki Komiyam hinted that the company may take some time before putting into consideration the practical implications of using Google’s Android software interface in their new phones.
Its strange that the company has decided to give rest to its usage of the software when rivals HTC and many other companies are actually rushing forth to shell out phones with its help.

“It does require a lot of evaluation, as well as a lot of testing, a lot of acceptance from a consumer viewpoint, and there is still some time to go,” Komiyama told Reuters in an interview.

“Looking ahead I think that we see this as one of the important operating systems, there is no doubt,” he said.

The sinking Titanic has further decided to use three operating systems in its high-end phones — Symbian, Android and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile- this comes as a welcome relief in this age of smartphones!

“Our focus is on how can we differentiate from the competitors using the same operating system.” Komiyama said further that the company owing to dissatisfaction of customers, has decided to concentrate more on user interface ( the latest key cramping, of so un-Sony Ericssonish- standards, cast a bad impression already despite the phone’s other advantages)

The company’s hopes are all pinned on the release and sale of the much awaited Idou. Let’s see what happens next.
