Last week at CES 2011 in Las Vegas, we first saw what would be the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc, one of the biggest teams we’ll see Android in 2011 and will be among the first to arrive in stores in the world with Android 2.3 SE and the first of no doubt.
And the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc will stand out in a competitive market for 2 issues. First, its ultra-slim at only 8.7mm (thinking we were surprised when some people began approaching the 9mm and now just passed this barrier as nothing!) and second, its 4.2-inch touchscreen WVGA (480 x 854 pixels) with Mobile Sony Bravia Engine which is defined by Sony Ericsson as a “reality display. “
At the same time, the characteristics of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc can find the 8.1 megapixel camera with up to 2.46x Smart Zoom and Sony Exmor sensor R, HDMI, WiFi, 3G, quadband GSM, 512 MB RAM, card microSD memory including 16 GB and powerful Qualcomm 1GHz (not yet clear whether or not dual core).
At first it was said that the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc hit the market in the first quarter of 2011 (in dark blue and silver versions) and in some countries like Indonesia are already advertising for an exit within 3 months. So while we wait for distribution throughout the world (it will take some time before landing in Latin America likely) see in detail this new smartphone with all the official photos, live photos and videos of some of the more interesting specifications.
To demonstrate its commitment to Android, Sony Ericsson has unveiled LiveView, an accessory for terminals that use Google’s operating system. Basically consists of a 1.3-inch screen designed to take on the wrist like a watch, or as a keychain.
This display is connected remotely to an Android handset via Bluetooth and lets you view information on our phone and control some functions. We may, for example, read messages or instant messages, browse Facebook or Twitter updates and view incoming calls.
LiveView is compatible with terminals using Android 2.0 or higher but, curiously, so far this accessory uses version 1.6 of the OS. From Sony Ericsson have confirmed that when it goes on sale during the fourth quarter of this year, will be upgraded to Android 2.1.
At the same time, Sony Ericsson has announced Liveware Manager, an application to find other uses for LiveView.
