I don't think it was a 'slip' that arc was doing the rounds showing Android 2.4. Honeycomb anyone?

I have no idea how Arc will be priced, but I just checked todays prices in Sweden, all are without contract (the US style with contract prices are basically all the same, really weird system). This includes Swedish VAT, so it'a an apples to apples comparison:
Source: prisjakt.nu
Phone SEK USD % of highest
Galaxy S 16GB 5490 792 100%
LG 2x 4895 706 89%
HTC Desire HD 4381 632 80%
Galaxy S 8GB 3995 576 73%
Desire 3638 525 66%
SE-X10 3358 484 61%
So today X10 is clearly positioned quite aggressively, 39% less than the leader. If Arc would be priced around the same as e.g. Desire HD or less I think it would be very competitive.
If SE will follow through with what they've said, i.e. coming out with 2.3 (maybe even 2.4) right around the end of 1Q, then follow up with Honeycomb when that comes out I think SE's image for those who care about having the latest and greatest Android will raise dramatically, from the worst laggard to the leader of the pack!

Also rumoured to be Xperia Duo. Does that make Hallon the new Xperia Neo?

do you remember this?

"
SO-01C: Xperia・Android
SO-02C: Xperia・Windows Phone 7"
where are this two phones? especially WP7 one....
i don`t think that SO-01C is Xperia Arc... if it is, why the other ones aren`t mentioned? (Hallon, x10 mini/mini pro successos) they aren't for Japanese market?

Engadget was saying that 2.4 is more likely to be a slight (not enough for a new dessert name) upgrade to 2.3, in the same way that 2.1 was to 2.0 (both Eclair). So if they're right, 2.4 will still be Gingerbread and will be only a slight upgrade to 2.3.

I'd like to applaud pmugghc for arguing against all the whiners here. The Arc has so much going for it (imo) that it's really unfair to want even more and even be disappointed with it without knowing the price. And why? Just because it isn't dual core? What do you even want that for if people are reporting the Arc to be the smoothest Android experience that they've seen so far? That in addition to the promised fast and frequent updates: What more do you want?
I'd also like to add something in regard to the Xperia Play (PS Phone): Sure it's hardware is 'just' normal high end phone hardware, but don't forget that all Android phones up til now run games that are made for 'any' Android phone. There aren't any games that are truly made for one specific Android phone. The advantage of the Xperia Play is that it will be a platform of its own.
The games that will appear on the PlayStation Pocket market of the Xperia Play can be fully optimized to run on that specific hardware, taking advantage of all its features and all the possibilities of the hardware. They won't be held back by older Android versions, lower resolutions, lower available memory, etc. Very specialized engines and development tools can be developed.
I'd bet that especially the exclusive games created by Sony Computer Entertainment's studios (wasn't a God of War game rumored?) will look amazing, better than most if not all other phone games.
Also, those that think April is late for this device: I don't think any big games platform was ever released faster after its first official announcement (which will be in February it seems). You need some time to create hype and a marketing campaign for an ambitious product. We don't know any game titles yet for instance.
Lastly, I think going for lower end hardware will allow for lower (mass market) price and hopefully longer battery life, which is essential if playing games will be the primary use of the device. Using the CPU and GPU to their fullest should not last just 2-3 hours.
Still, we need much more details about the Xperia Play to judge it fully, but whining about it so much already is pointless imo.
