Thanks smclion!
Sure looks like some juicy stuff is coming our way
@All
Any idea if SE is going to jump on the quad-core bandwagon this year?

The Hayabusa looks very hopeful. Rog already confirmed there will be another flagship, and this device is priced higher then the current flagship which has a 1.5ghz dual core!

Spoiler Alert

.
Future Xperia S / Ion owners could be disappointed, but it's better for Sony to have an ace in the hole...

Following paragraph is purely my speculation
The handsets just announced and the next few to come are all developed in house by
I assume Sony had ideas of a buy out well before it was official, so I guess they would have started development on their own handsets, of which we will see later this year.
I cant see Sony launching as just 'Sony' (100% Sony handsets) and leaving the Xperia S and Ion as their flagship/s for the year. They'd surely want to make a bigger splash than that. Go right up against Samsung, HTC etc in the specs department.
Again, just my 2 cents

Well, all Sony needs to do is put xenon flash and better dual-core chipset (rest of specifications just like Xperia S), and we have a bestseller

It's not so hard. But I'm afraid they will go for stupid quad-core race. (While it was stupid to got with single-core Arc, it's even more stupid to go with quad-core phone -.-, I mean, powerfull Notebooks are still dual-core, and they behave more than fine... )

I think the point is that, the higher the core number, the more efficient it is (the device can turn off the cores it's not using). Smartphones are currently struggling in the battery life dept., soo efficiency would be welcome.

Sony bought out Ericsson in SE, I don't know why people think the actual design teams and development will switch somewhere else. It's a name and partial ownership change, SE designed and Sony designed is the same thing.

We will see when the Mint launches
If Sony had not bought out

this year too like previous years the Xperia S would have been the flagship device for the whole year. It is Sony's influence that this year there will be not 1 but 3 flagships at throughout the year starting with Xperia S in March, Hayabusa in July and Mint in September.
I think its a very good strategy by Sony to combat the competition and "your flagship is now outdated compared to comeptition"
