You're right, of course I meant Sony's mobile division to get a stable footing rather than the whole Sony corp to start making profits. That really is like waiting Duke Nukem Forever, the biggest longest running gaming joke in history. And I can see the want for a proprietary OS in 3-5 years but for at least the next 2 years Sony need to build an understanding with their customers, where the customers know what to expect from a Sony product and the experience is consistent. Consistency is the key.
I don't, however, see the lawsuits as a major issue. Since Google's Motorola acquisition Motorola the tables have turned and Google can offer better backup. It will get to a stage with the lawsuits that there will be a truce called and an agreement made.

Seems we actually agree except how to go about doing it. I agree with you on Sony Mobile establishing itself first but also think they should buy webOS now (meaning next year) while you think patience is the key.
I don't know about the lawsuits ending any time soon, remember that Google still has one hanging over their heads regarding the origins of the os itself? They are having it out with Oracle.
Motorola holds quite a substantial portfolio of patents but they don't hold all. Microsoft and in particular, Apple, are always going after Google. Sadly, this comes back to manufacturers of Android.
It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009 |

^The lawsuits are just one of the problems with Android. The unclear path it is headed is more of a concern. What will Android become few years from now? With the fragmentation among the companies that use the platform and different processors to run the platform on, the future is bleak for Android. Yes, it is in demand at the moment but it will not last long.
If Sony purchase the webOS, then they can integrate it in their devices and create a ecosystem same as or even bigger than that of iOS. From camera to TV, you name it. But Sony has to do it now, no matter what they are going through. They cannot wait later when Android "peaks", or else they will be catching up again. Working closely with Google is a big gamble and it is not stable whereas if Sony has their own platform to develop, the posibilities are limitless. Sony can have exclusivity on everything they want to implement.

Guys with 1 billion that Sony has to pull out of the bag for Ericsson shares, there will be no money for other big investments in the near future... you know business is lead by the accountants. In the times when Sony takes steps for it`s survival and success in the long term there will be no shots in the dark. |

Is it 100%, that Ericsson won't produce phones ever? |

This question is exactly what has been bothering me the last one month.
One phone per year to start with, hi-tech, unique like their prototypes in the past, and I'll be there.
 sold part of their patents to Sony and authorized them to use some of the others but they still have plenty more.
I'm really hoping to see a new phone some day in the near future.

Ericsson did say they are concentrating on other things and I suspect it is part of the agreement with Sony that they don't go into mobile phones for at least 5 years so Sony can get their feet under the table and so as to not confuse SE customers.

What about missing piece of hardware in earlier Nozomi leaked?
What do you love to see?
Mine, just give me a stylish camera cover  something like C902, anyway I don't expect a xenon flash.

From hydenobuyuki from XDA:
According to websites in Japan, Nozomi will ship with Ice Cream Sandwich as the SO-02D.

That's good news, so we know it will be bang up to date as far as the OS is concerned. I just with they would announce the thing soon as it's now one of the worst kept secrets in the history of mobile phones.

Could be worse, someone could have lost a Prototype in a bar which then got sold to engadget

Gizmodo?
This has been leaked quite a bit but I can recall numerous other worse leaks, iPhone 4 for starters, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was a massive leak as well. |
