XPERIA X10 with Mediascape and Timescape Demonstration [HD Video] Bluetooth 10 Mar 2010
Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
 
  
Sony Ericsson's first Android phone was announced last year. Last week, we had
the opportunity to hands on the real product to see if it lives up to its
promises with Mediascape and Timescape as their signature applications.
XPERIA™ X10 introduces a new UX platform that will evolve across the product
portfolio and expand over time continuously introducing new features and
capabilities. The UX platform builds on top of the Open OS and creates a unique
Sony Ericsson user experience by combining best-in-class entertainment features
with signature applications, unrivalled integration of social media services and
a rich graphical user interface. The XPERIA™ X10 is the first mobile phone to
truly humanise the way people interact with their phones.
Introducing signature applications like Mediascape and Timescape™, the XPERIA™
X10 lets consumers organise everything in their phone in an intuitive way:
Sony Ericsson Timescape™ manages all your communication with one person in one
place. Browse through your conversations the bright way to check out your
Facebook™, Twitter™, photos, emails, and texts all in one go
Sony Ericsson Mediascape is the smart way to get all the music, photos and
videos you want from your favourite friends and artists. It accesses content
from everywhere – your phone, YouTube™, PlayNow™ – and presents everything for
you.
Intelligence capabilities, integrated into Mediascape and Timescape™, can
automatically recognise connections between contacts, content and media. By
recommending alternative ways to communicate or guiding to new media
experiences, consumers can discover more in a truly open way. For example:
Pressing the new “infinite button” guides you through the connected world,
aggregating all your interactions with one person into one view
Intelligent face recognition features recognise up to five faces in any picture,
automatically connecting them with your social phonebook and all other related
communications with that person.
Sony Ericsson’s open approach gives consumers maximum choice and with the XPERIA™
X10, users can download any application that they want direct from a wide
variety of stores including PlayNow™ and the Android Market™, co-creating an
experience that is entirely unique to them.
The XPERIA™ X10 supports GSM GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800/1900, UMTS HSPA
900/1700/2100 and UMTS HSPA 800/850/1900/2100. The XPERIA™ X10 will be available
in selected markets from Q1 in the colours Sensuous Black and Luster White. It
is already available for pre order in Taiwan right now.
When asked if there will be upgrades available to Eclair, Sony Ericsson says it
is in their plans. It is expected to be in Q3 2010.
