Sony Ericsson Xperia play

   The Xperia Play is.... different - because is more than a smartphone or multimedia phone, but, in the same time, is not exactly a full gaming console. So it`s somewhere in the middle due to the fact that is known as the world`s first Playstation certified smartphone. I am not sure how this will be received by the customers. I do believe that will have it`s own fan club and also I really appreciate the originality of this product.

   The Xperia Play should offer a unique multimedia experience with the slide-out Playstation like pad controls and through the Adreno graphic chipset which will make 3D games run at 60 fps. The important part is that Sony Ericsson has partnered with some key gaming industry producers like Sony Computer Entertainment, Gameloft, EA Mobile, Glu Mobile and Unity Technologies.  It`s interesting because the design reminds me of Xperia Arc and the Next Generation Portable console from Sony in the same time.

Sony Ericsson Xperia neo

   The Xperia Neo has the same features as Xperia Pro but that does not make it the same phone under a different shape. The only difference between the two is the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. So perhaps the Neo does not have the business part highlighted much and might be a more multimedia phone.

-- CPU:  Qualcomm Snapdragon 1 GHz processor.

   So it`s not like they have removed the business side of the device - it`s still there... but without the keyboard. We should see this one released sometimes in Q2.
