I don't think future high-end walkmans will see the light of day. It's all Entertainment Unlimited now. Well, that OR Xperia.

I am glad SE decided to combine the best of Walkman with Cyber-shot, except they haven't - strictly speaking - done that. They've crippled the camera interface and the Walkman player, and removed the strong brand names. Don't get me wrong - they're still decent, but a compromise that goes against the concept.
I am very surprised that they didn't at least have the camera start up and show the 'Cyber-shot' brand - and use a similar UI. I am equally surprised they didn't call the music player Walkman, and help keep the Walkman name alive (this did, no doubt, make Walkman cool again for Sony after they nearly lost it completely to the iPod).
It's somewhat harder to imagine calling the games section PlayStation/PSP - simply because in this part, you'd need some degree of compatibility or people will expect PSP games to run and so on.. but you could give it a new name like PS Mobile or whatever - and then incorporate support.
If SE wants to really have Entertainment Unlimited as the new must-have brand, they need to fix these things. At the moment, I am sure Joe Public will see the Satio or Aino has being inferior to any future Walkman or Cyber-shot model.

Well put, jmcomms! If there was ever a way of using those brand names that is how they were supposed to be used. Like you wrote, ordinary customers will feel somewhat indifferent to a 'plain' Satio as opposed to one that shows 'Walkman' when the music player is fired up or 'Cybershot' on camera activation. Most times SE fails to grasp the power of using the brands purposefully.
Makes you wonder how exactly they plan on keeping them alive.

A full touch walkman is long overdue. Entertainment limited is gud, but it jus 'a bit' of both cyber-shot en walkman. Imagine a Satio with amazing sound quality(plus 3.5mm jack) and 8mp camera(hopefully meanin no bulge) |

@ Legen
I think your wishes will be answered but perhaps without 3.5mm jack if you don't mind. It doesn't mean that the quality will be bad but good headphones always enhance the experience. |

Miz asked about that phone on Twitter, I'm not sure if it was already named here:
B10. http://www.jbenchmark.com/res[....]it=OK&benchmark=pro&subtest=-2
What I can say about it: It's definitely a Windows Mobile phone and it definitely has a WVGA screen.
May it be the early X2? Or is it the rumoured third WM phone that may have been cancelled?

@doministry: So?  Doesn't mean there's not another internal codename, e.g. W760/Deena/A130 or C905/Shiho/Q440.

I'm interested in the Blackberry-esque Sony Ericsson phone you mentioned a few posts back.
Can you please shed some light as to how wide the phone is? How is the design like, is it a Sony Ericsson design- meaning is it as good looking as a Sony Ericsson?
The thing is I've been hoping for this that is why I have held off on getting another phone because the P1's size is perfect and I was hoping for a slimmer P1 sized phone.
Thanks!

Rachael = X10, it says so in settings
I played with one Rachael and it got Android 1.6 installed now. I was told that Android 2.0 will be on it when launched.
The screen is huge! Couldnt find out any info on the CPU. I am sure Hero has info on this or am I wrong? |

I'm wondering if Rachael has wireless charging? The micro USB cover isn't a great idea if you've got to keep removing it just to charge. I'm guessing this device is power hungry. |
