<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Windows Phone 8 is not something we’re familiar with and we can only imagine that it will be a fantastic OS.  Victor Cao created the Sony Ericsson Xperia Leon, an incredible device, with a dual core 2GHz processor and a futuristic WP version.  The super smartphone uses a future Office suite and the concept Transolid UI, that seems to be transparent. High end specs of the Xperia Leon also include NFC, wireless HDMI, a 3.2MP front camera and a 12 megapixel back camera, plus a 1800 mAh battery. The body of the device is incredibly slim, a feat achieved by incorporating a 1080p OLED touchscreen. </span><br>

This tablet will now be called the Sony Tablet S and will indeed be “PlayStation Certified” which places it as only the second Android device to be dubbed so, right after the Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY. This tablet will be blasting into your living room running Android 3.1 Honeycomb sooner than later and will, if Sony does indeed release it with this new “All Our Innovations Folded Into One” set of info intact, have a tablet that allows you to control your whole living room at the tap of a display.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
We already know quite a bit about both this flat tablet and the clamshell Android device Sony will be releasing soon, this sheet confirming several items and revealing a few new bits. The Sony S tablet is the magazine-style tablet that’s rolling out with 1,280 x 768 pixel TruBlack LCD panel, Quickview enhancement for speed in browsing your mobile web, and Quick Touch Panel to improve touch responsiveness – we’ll be proving or disproving all of this once we get another hands-on look at the device of course.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This spec sheet shows the device toting a built-in Universal IR remote that’ll control any compatible device around your living room, share, view, and transfer capabilities to add to this experience with DNLA capable PCs, televisions, and speakers. Inside the tablet you’ll find a Video Unlimited app for renting or purchasing movies, purchase music with Music Unlimited app also pre-installed, eBooks available in the same fashion through the pre-installed Reader Store, and of course several PlayStation Certified games will be pre-loaded in the final release as well.</div>

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>

This service will allow users to either buy or rent movies and television shows, this service complimenting the mobile brand’s recently announced cloud based digital music service “Music Unlimited.” The video service Qriocity will initially be pushed to Xperia mini and Xperia mini pro in nine markets with localization of content and movies – that means if you’re in Germany, you probably won’t get the movie Purple Rain. Or maybe you love Prince over there too, I don’t know.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The nine markets of which Sony Ericsson speaks for the initial launch are the following: UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia, Japan*, Canada and the United States. *Japan being the only market to have the service becoming available at the end of August instead of the start. This video service will be made available to a series of 2011 Sony Ericsson devices in the Xperia line, those being the mini and the mini pro first, the Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia PLAY, Xperia pro, and Xperia acro through a software upgrade later this year. Furthermore, the service will be available instantly on Xperia active and Xperia ray when they launch as well.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
This service will be what Sony Ericsson notes as an intuitive and user friendly way to both buy and rent TV shows and movies from a whole batch of their partners in the project. NBC, Universal International Television Distribution, Paramount Pictures, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution amongst other local studies will be joining in soon. Latest releases from each of these studios will be available as well as an extensive back catalog for classic pictures.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Access the app as soon as it launches at http://www.qriocity.com/ and let us know how you like it. That said – are you the sort of person who rents or purchases video on a regular basis for your mobile device? Let us know!</div>

Unfortunately for all parties involved, Holm notes now that the information saying that Xperia X10′s update was available instantly was a bit premature. Instead, Holm notes that the update will take a few more days to roll out. On another note, there’s been a lot of impersonating of Sony Ericsson’s Rikard Skogberg happening in the past few weeks, Holm warning the public to only trust the one true Skogberg.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
It seems that on the official Sony Ericsson forums, mister Skogberg had been impersonated on several accounts, feeding false information to the frequenters of said forum in an effort to lead them all astray. Holm asks that all users of the forums refrain from impersonating anyone and to follow all the rules lest he have to whoop somebody and end free dialog in said forum. Furthermore, Holm lets us know that all updates to newer versions of Sony Ericsson run software will come via official means, not in a comments field in a forum.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
That said, how are you Xperia X10 users holding up? How many of you switched to something like a Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY when the time was right? Anyone waiting for the Xperia NEO or Xperia ARC? We recommend hitting up the ol [Sony Ericsson portal] for all the Xperia information you need – official and leaked, of course.

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>
