Sony W8 the first Walkman Android Phone
Sony announced the world's first walkman android phone in Indonesia today. W8 is a 3.0 inch capacitive touch-screen android handset. Strangely, Sony chooses to use Android 2.1 Eclair edition for this handset. These are the days when even Froyo is considered obselete! Anyway, coming to the looks W8 follows the same design as that of X8. W8 comes in three different interesting colours: Azure Blue, Metallic Red and Iconic Orange. Powered by 600 Mhz, 128 MB RAM and sports a 3.2 mega pixels camera on the back. The phone will be launched in the Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Phillipines and India (yay!). We can expect W8 to hit the markets by Q2 2011 - that is by the end of June 2011 (!). Price is not officially announced yet. But we can expect a price tag of somewhere between Rs. 10,000 - Rs. 12,000 in India!
It's becoming a trend for Sony to combine the strengths across different product lines such as Playstation, PSP, Walkman, Television Display (Bravia), Camera (exMor) into the mobile phones..! It's a easy and smart move for them...they are leveraging their innovations to the core
