UPDATE:
This phone has some great hardware, coupled with lousy Sony software on top of outdated Android software. It's sort of a joke. Android 1.6, NOT 2.0, 2.1, or 2.2. This is the kind of crap I don't understand. Why not bring a new phone to market with the latest and greatest of what's available. Check out this article sent to me by TechyTed.
I just stumbled upon this today; my next phone? I've been a Sony fan for years (I know, Sony Ericsson is a little different than Sony), and I've seen some impressive displays and cameras on friend's cellphones from them. Now, they are announcing "Smarter is Coming". Is this the Xperia X10? Is it an Android phone? Is it a Windows Phone 7 phone?
I'm actually holding my breath for this one. I'm hoping for something great. AT&T needs another great phone. They need to add to the phone sales success they are having with the iPhone and add an alternative phone option for those of us fed up with Apple.

The embedding code was even in Japanese but this is the next greatest TV. It's an LED TV so it's light, bright, and amazing. I can't wait for it to be announced in the USA. Maybe then, I will upgrade to HD and a PS3 with Blu-Ray...or not because I'm poor.
Yes please.
The iPhone's possibilities are endless. I'm still mad that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates don't see the potential gain in creating a small device that can be our full computer. If something like the iPhone that's able to hold all our documents, photos, music, and other files, was then given the ability to modify and manipulate those files (i.e. word processing, photo editing) I think it would truly become the most coveted piece of technology to date.
I understand the limits to graphics for games, CPU power for performance, memory for speed, and other limitations. And Steve and Bill are right in that, there will still be a need for a full home computer with full power. But, with all the hacks people are doing to the iPhone (games, internet programs, copy and paste, video, document viewing) it seems obvious to me that people want more out of their phone. The iPhone is the first glimpse people have into that future possibility of having everything with you all the time.
Create a docking station that connects the iPhone to a full size monitor and keyboard. Have a full strength computer turn the iPhone into a hard drive that accesses the programs and files from the flash memory on the phone to run a full computer at full computer power. Then, when you undock, you can take all that ability with you in your pocket. And you have your complete e-life on the go.
I wish I knew people with the smarts to do this. I would love to go tell Steve about it. Maybe Google would be interested. Here's my whole patented (haha) idea:
Phone (similar to the iPhone, maybe a keyboard feature, Sony's got a new one)
Large SSD (that's the harddrive, saw a small one up to 256GB )
Office products
Photo programs
Games
3rd party app access
Home Sync program (becoming a hard drive used by more powerful graphics/CPU/memory, auto back-up to home base hard drive)
Okay, so this is a boring entry, I know. I just think it would be cool to have lots of functionality on the go. Sometimes I'm out and want to show a friend a story I wrote or a song I arranged. When I'm out car shopping I think, "I'd be nice to have access to a spreadsheet to see if the numbers they're quoting are really as great as they're saying."
Anyway, here's the video that started this whole thought today. I watched only 30 or 40 seconds, but it shows another creative way someone modified the iPhone.
Yeah, this is a video of the upcoming slider phone from Sony Ericsson. Looks great right? IT STILL PALES NEXT TO THE iPhone.
If reasonably priced, I'd go for it though. I do love my Sony.
