Let’s face it, the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play didn’t exactly make a huge splash when it dropped onto the market, and until now, it hasn’t really gained any traction. While the phone has very capable hardware for gaming (bar the terrible touchpads), its success has been marred largely due to the lack of legitimate PlayStation One games from the PlayStation Suite.</div>

Everyone’s favorite legendary PlayStation phone is now less than $100 at Verizon tied to a 2-year contract. This is the device we’ve been using to do a small mass of reviews because of its rather unique ability to play all types of games with its PlayStation-certified controller which slides out from under its display. This device also runs a 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with an Adreno 205 GPU for all your sweet bright lights processing. The display is a 4-inch multi-touch above which you’ve got a VGA front-facing camera with a 5-megapixel camera on the back.</div>

The Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY is available now right over at Verizon’s special Back to School landing page for the low low price of $99.99. Your talk plans on Verizon are going to be starting at $39.99 a month with smartphone data plans at $29.99. Is it worth it? That’s what you’re asking yourself right now I bet. Let me give you a guide on that: Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY Review – that’s done by yours truly running on Verizon.</div>

Then you’re going to want to get down and check out all the reviews of Xperia PLAY specific apps such as Asphalt 6: Adrenaline, aPORKalypse, Pigs of Doom, and my personal favorite, the classic Tony Hawk Pro Skater.

Skype for Android hacked, does video on other Android handsets

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" class="size-full wp-image-79186 aligncenter" height="150" src="http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/616/skypeandroid.jpg" title="skype-android" width="307" />Skype for Android’s latest release apparently supports only a bunch of other handsets – the HTC Desire S, Sony Ericsson Xperia neo, Sony Ericsson Xperia pro and the Google Nexus S. Trust the ever enterprising spirit of mankind to hack said version to include video call support on all the other non-listed Android-powered smartphones. The particular version that we’re referring to was released with the Samsung Galaxy S2 in mind, although the performance will not be limited to just that particular smartphone. While it remains too early to perform exhaustive testing for other models, the APK (installation file for Android phones) has been touted to work on the HTC EVO 4G, alongside the HTC Thunderbolt with some measure of success.</p><br/>Needless to say, only if your Android-powered smartphone has a front facing camera should you bother yourself with this version of Skype, and make sure that there is a decent processor hiding underneath the hood as well.<br/><div><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=6k4R8xsqudg:_qLl5K5e3T0:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7079/93538393.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=6k4R8xsqudg:_qLl5K5e3T0:qj6IDK7rITs"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/6167/39878358.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=6k4R8xsqudg:_qLl5K5e3T0:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/884/58860005.gif" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubergizmo?a=6k4R8xsqudg:_qLl5K5e3T0:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/4707/27247276.gif" /></a></div>

Sony Ericsson Xperia Active wants you fitter

<img alt="Sony ericsson txt" class="aligncenter" height="315" src="http://mos.futurenet.com/techradar/classifications/Mobile%20Phones/Sony%20Ericsson/Sony-txt-420-90.jpg" width="420" /><br/><br/>Sony Ericsson has announced the arrival of the Sony Ericsson Active and – a handset that's built for the extreme sports crowd, as well as the Sony Ericsson txt for, well, texting lovers.<br/><br/>The Xperia Active is a phone for those who play sports and seemingly can't bear to be without to miss a call or tweet.<br/><br/>There's even a hook at the bottom of the Active and a wrist strap to make sure you don't lose your phone when you are running, surfing, sumo wrestling… whatever trendy athlete-types do nowadays.<br/><br/>To make sure the handset can survive a night out in Newcastle, the Sony Ericsson Active is waterproof to one metre and also scratch resistant.<br/><br/>Bear in mind, though, the waterproof element will only last for 30<br/><br/>minutes to a depth of 1m, so keeping this phone could be a lot like keeping a gremlin.<br/><br/><strong>Oh... my heart's stopped</strong><br/><br/>To go with its sporty nature, SE has added a whole host of sports-related apps, so you can keep track of your fitness. There's even an on-screen heart rate monitor, which may or may not beep when someone you fancy walks past.<br/><br/>Underneath this sporty sheen are some pretty decent specs. The whole thing is powered by a 1GHz processor with Android 2.3 inside, as well as a 5MP camera with HD functionality and a 3-inch Reality Display.<br/><br/>And don't worry if you have wet fingers and want to touch the screen, SE has added wet finger tracking to the mix.<br/><br/>According to the press release, Maria Sharapova loves this phone, too. Which is an incredible coincidence since Wimbledon is taking place at the moment.<br/><br/><strong>Txtrs dn't lyk xtra lttrs</strong><br/><p style="text-align: center;"></p><br/>Sony Ericsson has also released the illiterate Sony Ericsson txt, a phone for those who like to, well, text.<br/><br/>This is a feature phone that offers a full QWERTY keyboard, a 3.2MP camera and an SMS shortcut key.<br/><br/>You will also be able to access the likes of Twitter and Facebook easier on the phone - plus Wi-Fi is on board! Woohoo!<br/><br/>The Sony Ericsson Active has a UK release date of Q3 2011, as does the Sony Ericsson txt – which is a 'sister' phone to the recently announced Sony Ericsson txt pro.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray launches with Android 2.3

Over in Singapore, Sony Ericsson has unleashed a new Android 2.3 handset in the form of the Xperia Ray, toting a 1GHz processor.<br/><br/>The 3.3-inch touchscreen phone is just 0.1mm thicker than the iPhone 4 and comes with Sony's Mobile Bravia Engine, last seen on the high-end Xperia handsets unveiled at Mobile World Congress, including the Xperia Arc.<br/><br/><strong>Sting like a sting ray </strong><br/><br/>"We expect Xperia Ray to appeal to consumers who are looking for a combination of beautiful design and a rich feature set," said global product marketing manager Daniel Sandblom.<br/><br/>We'd question the beautiful design side of things, but the Ray isn't lacking in features.<br/><br/>The 8.1MP camera offers the Exmor R sensor technology and HD video recording, and there's also a front-mounted camera for video-calling.<br/><br/>As well as Sony Ericsson's proprietary music player, it also comes with all the Android goodies we're accustomed to (Android Market, Google apps, email etc), with built-in memory of 300MB expandable with an included 4GB microSD card and stand-by battery life set to last up to 430 hours.<br/><br/>What's more, Sony Ericsson has come up with a bunch of "SmartExtras", including LiveSound headphones and a LiveDock docking station - both designed to offer easier access to applications when in use.<br/><br/>Set to land imminently given the Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray UK release date of Q3, the aluminium-framed Ray comes in four radiant colour highlights (black, gold, white and pink).
