I do remember that there were alot of .net applications (which are managed code as well) written for WM OS running fast on WM phones. i assume the same thing with this android's new JVM.
@razec
.NET applications are compiled Ahead of Time (AOT) which in effect turns it into Native executable. I think Androids Dalvik relies on JIT or worse is Interpreter.
What's unfair is that Android is capable of running native apps but prevents developers from doing so. What a wasted power. IMO that is worse than the limits set by Symbian or Apple SDKs.

Well i thought it is a P-successor at first but then i saw the walkman-logo.
I think this will be a Highend-Slider-Walkman.
W902 - candybar
W905? - Slider
W980 - clamshell |

despite android's technical drawbacks, the demo clearly shows that it is very responsive and fast. would like to see it run 3rd party software though...
the phone is definitely walkman version of G705.
here's hoping for more announcements before the end of october with releases in time for xmas

BTW a W902 in white would be nice  |

AFAIK all built-in apps in Android are native including drivers that's why it's fast. But 3rd party apps must be interpreted on virtual machine. |

I think a Android-phone from SE isn't that unrealistic as some guys think. I mean these SE-Youtube-handys and this "Life with Playstation"-thing with Google Earth and Google news are evidences that Sony and Google can work together.....imo |

According to this article, Sony Ericsson is likely to join the OHA
"Google's consortium of Android partners, the Open Handset Alliance, has stayed stable at 34 companies for months, but Espelien expects it to grow. He says four of the five largest handset makers will make Android phones--a hint that Sony Ericsson has signed on or soon will. Three of the five--LG, Motorola and Samsung--are already OHA members. Nokia, the world's largest phone manufacturer, which announced in June that it would purchase Symbian, probably won't join the Android movement, concedes Espelien. "

Ah, ok smart ass! Why haven't SE ever bothered to put it on there UIQ's? Oh well. I never knew that so thanks.
Still here's hoping it's a smarty Walkman model.

@idumbakumar: here's some small comparison, it's a light sensor, like as on G705:

Nokia find themselves in quite a situation. Though they are in a leading position with S60 it seems they are about to face some serious challenges.
Already RIM has jumped to the number two spot ahead of Windows.
I guess it's good for SE to try out all these OSs. I have a feeling they'll end up settling on at least 2 of them. Why would they confuse their phones with too many OSs thereby losing focus?

Like Tigershark has said, they would be a bit silly to restrict themselves to one or two OS's.
There is so much competition right now that they do really have to try and appeal to as many potential end users as possible and not being the largest of the manufacturers its a good move, especially when you consider how small its smartphone market share actually is.

I don't know goldenface. I personally think that at this stage they don't really have the means to go with 3 or 4 OSs. They just need to consider where the money is and go there. I'm just trying to imagine thier phones running, for instance, Android, WM, Symbian and Linux. How do you begin to specialise when you're all over the show? Let's not forget their bad handling of UIQ.

May be this next announcement will give up some answers. Don't know what to expect really, other than the W705?
Its a two day event so lets hope they have a lot to show.
