“Great response and again sorry for the limitations. Thanks all for taking the time to apply. This is not the same context as for Satio, which was a test pilot programme to allow you to try the phone and blog about your hands on. Ambition is to do larger scale going forward. The original plan was to run conventional research programme only, exploring “average” user behaviour and knowledge. I incorporated you as an addition with the condition that I manage it on my own and that is why there are restrictions as per my physical presence. What I will do is to contact my team in local markets and ask if they can contact you for test pilot programmes in your country. I can´t tell the outcome, but is worth a shot from my side to try…” read more here:  http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/

According to Sony CEO Howard Stringer, speaking at MWC in Barcelona, the PlayStation Network is intended for Sony Ericsson phones, as well as other network devices from Sony. “PSN is not the secret weapon. Building on PSN are building a new network that will connect over the network allowed many products, including Sony Bravia, Vaois and Blu-ray. “To meet the demand for more open systems and expand the range of network devices connected to our network services we committed to expanding the service to mobile phones from Sony Ericsson. ”
So it seems that at least we can hope to achieve visualization notebook but what else is going to the mobile version of PSN bring? Mr Howard went on to say: “As part of these initiatives we are also exploring the user interfaces consistent across the Sony Ericsson products to ensure a seamless experience and integrated to the consumer. ”

If that means that time can become our boilers remotely with our phone and easily.

The announcement that the Windows Phone 7 Series will have integration with the Xbox Live seems to have agreed the competition. Howard Stringer, CEO of Sony Ericsson, revealed that the company plans to go out and offer similar service on their phones.
“PSN (PlayStation Network) is no secret weapon. Taking advantage of the PSN we are building a new network that will connect more products like Sony Bravia, Vaios and Blu-ray players. To meet the demand for more open systems and to increase range of devices in our network, we are committed to extending the service to mobile phones from Sony Ericsson as well.
As parts of these initiatives we are exploring new interfaces consistent across the Sony Ericsson products to ensure a seamless and integrated to the consumer. “

“Sony Europe and Japan are showing off some interesting additions to their digital photo frame line – a total of six new products are now coming throughout the Spring and Summer.”

“Lastly, we have the DPF-A73, which is basically identical to the E73 in specifications but doesn’t have interchangeable faceplates.”

“First off, there is the DPF-X85/DPF-X95 (pictured above), which has absolutely stunning picture quality with huge memory capacity and smart, easy to use features. The X85 features a 8″ WVGA 16:10 LCD, with TruBlack screen technology for a delicious view of your pictures that will be noticeably different than other photo frames. Unique to Sony, TruBlack technology boosts contrast while reducing screen reflections for rich, deep blacks and sparkling highlights. For an even bigger picture, the S-Frame X95 showcases the benefits of TruBlack technology with a larger 9″ WVGA screen.”

“Just slip in your camera’s memory card or connect S-Frame to your computer via USB, and enjoy a generous 2GB internal memory inside the S-Frame X85 (pictured below)/95 which roughly gives you storage space for up to 4,000 images in Album mode. New ‘X’ models are also able to display large image files up to 48 megapixels: this makes them ideal for showing off the highest-resolution images from your DSLR or compact camera.”

“Sony’s recent DSC-TX5 announcement also came with an exclusive accessory – a soft, fashionable case (LCS-THQ) in a choice of colors that uses water repellent materials to dry the camera while carrying it. Not that it really matters if the TX5 is dry or not since its water resistant up to 10 feet, but most certainly not invulnerable to scratches. This is the perfect case for bringing the camera to the beach, while your swimming, or the great outdoors. We think the camera is going to big hit in the market and this will definitely be the perfect accessory. No word on MSRP yet but I imagine it will be somewhere around $30.”

Xperia X10 research candidates

February 20th, 2010

Hi all,

Spent the week in Barcelona for MWC and you probably have followed the reporting. Massive interest in Xperia X10 and overwhelming positive introduction of X10 mini and X10 mini pro, which I can´t help to reiterate.

Back to X10.

One Sony Ericsson research programme that is about to start relates to user experience. From the very first moment of opening up the box, the first period of getting started and  views after a weeks usage. This in order to learn from user behaviour and get valuable feedback as input for future releases.

We will run a conventional research programme by recruiting users through our agencies. In addition, I am very happy to announce that we will for the very first time allow recruitment among yourself as I believe you are such a great representation of knowledge and passion. We will be looking for 2-4 persons that are interested to use the device and are committed to give constructive feedback.

However I am at the same time sorry to say that there are some limitations about this recruitment. It will require a face to face meeting and since I am driving this as an additional pilot, we can only cope with Sweden (Stockholm and south Sweden) and UK, greater London area. I am really sorry for that as there as so many of you that I would like to give this opportunity to as you are great contributors to this forum. Your interest about the device is evident from your activeness on the blog to date, which will of course be considered but at the same time I would like to see who else might be interested.

This is a pilot and going further, we might be able to do this in somewhat greater scale for the upcoming products based on interest etc.

The candidate will be needed to answer questions/send a report on the usage a couple of times over course of months time and be willing to meet face to face for a deep interview, either at our premises or even at their resident.

If, you are interested please post a short introduction of yourself in the comments section below, please include the following:

-          Complete name

-          Age

-          Location

-          Occupation

-          Blog or equivalent if applicable

-          Short motivation why you would be a suitable candidate in less than twenty words

I would appreciate If I could close the application process by Tuesday next week.

Have a great weekend

Sumit

Vivaz and X10 Goes Skiing

February 17th, 2010 I spent the weekend up in snowy Åre of Sweden – of course I shot some pics with both X10 and Vivaz and also some videos with Vivaz. Below you find some snowy landscape pics and also some videos I shot when there was an open session contest in jumping into the BigAirBag that we brought to Åre this weekend. It’s cool to see those guys and girls really spin off in creativity when they are sure that they will land softly I know I’m not experienced in shooting action sports and in retrospect I should have found some cooler angles to shoot from. I guess also some kind of DIY fish-eye lens would have done the tricks better since that’s what we are used to when it comes to action sports

Please note that the scene with all the snow was a bit tricky for exposure so for some of the clips I pumped up the exposure one step manually.

First some pics shot by me and my friend Josef (first two from X10 and the rest from Vivaz):
