I can sense 2 big transitions happening in Sony front.
- UI. Jellybean taking so much time it's obvious they trying to correct their mistakes which they did with ICS
- Goals. They're aiming high back again. Yes they always use to have top end phones in the world before. Us now times have changed. It's good to see they want to come back strong.
Let's see what's in the store but YUGA definitely is what seems to be my next phone.
I just hope that besides the preset themes will be one additional custimasable theme, or a built in theme creator. If we think about it the 2011 Xperia themes contained a (changeable) wallpaper and an additional shaded one for the native applications, and a harmonising colour code for messaging boxes for example.
The 2012 Xperia themes contained a changeable wallpaper, an additonal textured colour toned background, and a colour code for fonts and transitions which harmonises with the theme.
I just want Sony to give the possibility to you can change the themed backroud of applications witch is redisegned by the preset themes, and to render a harmonising colour code besides it, or to give you the possibility to change it too.
It can't be that hard and would be nice, because the competitors also started to apply themes on their android phones.
Now the themes on sony phones I would call only colour schemes, beacuse even my T300, T310 would have larger possibilities to personalise the UI, even the T68 from 2002 supported created themes.
For example my Xperia ray when it starts and asks the PIN code, it applies the wallpaper instead of the theme backgroud. That would be nice if we could have the possibility to change without restrictions the theme backgroud.
This is the wallpaper I use:
And the dialer look so when it asks the PIN:

^ Yea, the dialer and contact ID could definitely use a full-res quality fit, not some squishy wash compressed picture.
Along with that, I'd be totally satisfied with a true replica of the PS3 live wallpaper - not the cigarette smoke ugly looking live wallpaper that's preloaded - like WTF is that compared to the PS3 wallpaper??

Am I the only one who remembers randomuser say that although the 2013H1 Sonys will be awesome in their own right, they'll be eclipsed quite quickly, followed by a statement that Sony's 2013H2 handsets will be real market leaders?
Did I miss an update to that prediction?
@itsjustJOH I've made ok money from trading EUR/JPY on the back of this news.

That is indeed correct Ricky, the fall 2013 Sony flagship will eclipse Yuga/Odin but sadly it seems it's been delayed to October now from the earlier expected shipment timeframe of Q3 13.

I know it's a long time until October, but still... could you give some clues as to what will make these 2H phones so remarkable?

Sony tries to patent stylus with friction-based haptic feedback
There's a certain disconnected feeling that comes with using a touchscreen, and Sony isn't content with vibration being the sole standard for haptic feedback. The company has filed a bunch of patent applications for a stylus which instead uses artificially generated friction to make it harder or easier to move across the screen. It works using a "rolling contact ball gripping mechanism," which responds to instructions from the phone or tablet and employs actuators to increase or decrease friction on the roller ball tip. The various filings outline some potential benefits of this stylus-based haptic feedback, including being able to feel yourself "carving and molding" 3D objects in a design application, or understanding your character is "fatigued or damaged" while playing a game. We know that Samsung increased the friction of the Note II's S-Pen to make it feel more like writing on paper, but Sony's approach would potentially bring a whole new layer of interaction.

It must be for the 6" phablet.....i don't think it is for Yuga/Odin.......

Here is what zomgbbqwtf had to say recently on NeoGAF
This is supposedly what is coming. They will ship AOSP with few modifications and preload all of their apps onto it like PS-Mobile, Music Unlimited, Video Unlimited, that photo uploading software, Walkman and their video playing software.
It would allow Sony to react to new versions of Android very, very quickly as they may only modify it slightly rather than rewrite wholesale parts of the OS as they currently do.

Can anyone confirm? This seems to support the info posted here about Sony working on a new way of delivering Android in the future.
