It's madness that Sony haven't unified things like this years ago anyway. They've always been in the strongest possible position as far as challengers to Apple go - they produce their own content in the form of music, films and TV, they could have had one online "Sony Store" all along for all their products - phone, walkman, TV, PS3, PSP, alarm clock, VAIO PC, all tied together with the same access to the same purchased content. With a single sign-on for all your Sony content, you could upload films and pics direct from your Handycam or Cybershot and watch them back on any Sony TV, phone or walkman, optimised for each format - why not? Buy a PS3 game and get a free minigame sent straight to your phone or PSP. Buy a song on your walkman or phone and have it waiting on your Hi-fi when you get home, buy a Blu-Ray film and download a free mobile version to your phone - they could have been doing all of this and more a long time ago. Why don't they?

Must be a cold day in hell because I actually agree with Boinng for once!

It is true, Sony has all the right tools for a full-on media assault. But unfortunately, the Sony empire was operating as several fragments that had little communication with each other; until very recently. Good examples being that Movies and Game developers Who were working with the respective branches of Sony had to jump through a kabillion hoops to license music from Sony BMG for their products. Such things shouldn't happen.

Of late though, Sir Howard is pushing for tighter integration. One obvious clue towards this is that ALL of Sony's divisions (Including SE) are now sporting the same tagline (Make.Believe) for the first time ever. Some operators are bundling the Aino with a PS3, which creates strong brand awareness and also make complete use of Remote Play. It is also said that the team developing the Walkman X1000 successor (Android powered) is working closely with the X10 team. I hope in the next one year, we will see complete integration of all aspects of the behemoth.

It makes all the sense in the world for the X10 to have PSN access for entertainment needs. It already has Android marketplace for apps, so buying movies and music from PSN would compliment that nicely. I don't think porting PSP games would happen anytime soon (Unless the next PSP runs on Android. If wishes were horses...), but this can definitely be done, right now.

Sony admit that they were late and didn't move to digital era earlier.... When I was with Sony (electronics), sony realised that, because of their negligence, they lost to ipod for digital music player after having a strong foundation in walkman.

the problem is that sony can engineer hardware with the best of them, in terms of quality function design and value, throwing everything in the PS1-PS3 was genius! it cost them but they PUSH the industry forward, kicking and screaming, they dont give a f**k about the trickle out technology plan the apples of the world abide by.

now with that said, sony cant program for shit. never have doubt they ever will, SONICSTAGE anyone, the biggest mistake was holding steadfast to the MD and ATRAC, i had 4 or 5 minidisc recorders and they ARE awesome, however trying to push the MD past its prime into the digital age with sonicstage was where Sony lost it to apple.

now we have inferior sounding music reproduction devices, f**k APPLE!

sharp.sony(aiwa).panasonic and others made GREAT audio devices dedicated chips, devices with battery lives OVER 100+ hours, and what because iTunes was so nice dominant as a store and organizer, we have the iPod and 30- hr batt life IF your lucky, and no one is ... horrible sound due to the shitty dsp and you have to listen to MP3's you cant record shit with an ipod by itself, not losslessly at least ...

there is a market a HUGE hole in the market right now for a device whose audio fidelity is its selling point not some trumped up apple harddrive.

""on topic""

i think the X10 from the beginning of nov to now, has seen some really major usability improvements, hopefully this frantic pace will continue throughout the end of the year! im really excited that the screen is being changed out too, thats awesome i hope we lose nothing in the transition, and if it is OLED oh my! awesomeness.

Well,

for all the future X10 users,
let's hope it will be FUNCTIONAL - the Android..

Yesterday I checked S60 on Nokia 5800 - it has no dialer available
instantly after making connection! What a cr..p.

Is Satio the same in this regard?

Nice post from developer.sonyericsson.com

Re: How the sound quality will be on the Xperia X10?

Hi,

One of our latest phones W995 got EISA award as “Best European Music phone 2009-2010” (http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/newsandevents/latestnews/newsaug09/p_sony_ericsson_w995_wins_the_eisa_award.jsp) so I can not agree with you that our latest phones have worse sound quality. In fact Sony Ericssons phones are dominating top list in that segment.

You all know that we are in situation where we can not afford to release just another phone therefore X10 and our other phones will have top components and will be high quality phones in all segments (camera, sound, speed...). I guess that you heard that on one Android phone more than 22% of customers complained about sound problems and some other complain about camera... But don't mix manufacturer with OS. X10 has 3.5mm jack and have great sound quality, 4 inch screen is great for movies that you can download from PlayNow or another source, 1GHz processor is great for games, 1500 mAh battery, 8.1 mp camera is best on Android for now, it has 384 MB memory enough to be updated to Android 2.0...

When you buy you'll like it.

Best Regards,

Amir
