My thoughts:
Crap the fact they only launched one phone.
The Idou? Hmmm, looks damn fast, slick interface, it does not IMO look as practical, fresh and innovative and the Palm Pre's but that assumption is based on a 30 sec video, but that camera! Also if it does indeed have a 3.5 inch screen then it's too big for me as it will be too wide, oh and the Omnia HD has a 3.7 inch screen according to Engadget and is a slab.
I think I will get the Palm Pre cause at the end of the day I like it and that's what counts. I prefer a smaller screen.
I have to say though, thank God for Apple. The way it's shaken the industry up is fantastic, but we are now going to have several phones that all do similar things with the OS etc. The choice will most certainly be yours. I would also say the Idou look's like an N97 killer.
So I won't bitch and moan about SE now, they have a good concept which I think will prepare them to go against Nokia very well. I just hope it keeps the same specs and that car sat nav software will be out for the Palm Pre before the end of the year? I just hate what happened with Paris and Bei Bei, I just hope we don't all get hyped up for it to be cancelled or the spec dropped, it does feel good though for Nokia to have killed UIQ only for SE to utilise it's new OS in a device that currently destroys any Nokia LOL.
It's just a shame none of this will happen till towards the end of the year.  |

this is purely speculation.. but me thinks idou will be a cybershot ..
purely from the fact that mizzle has the idou post filed under cybershot...
this may just be temporary due to the 12mp cam.. but who knows? maybe it's a hint.. haha..
this is NOT FACT.. just my speculation...

I dont' know what you guys want... Idou is just a concept. Who knows when it will be released... and in which kind of form.
Omnia HD is already announced and confirmed. That's how business is done 
Concept is being displayed to the common public
concept has a website of its own
the anchor was holding the concept in his hands
and we still dont know in which form it will come out. Damn us.We are such big idiots.
Sorry misinfo-wizard, you are the best.
Every heard of the term 'prototype'?
But we will see in 2010 |

The UI of Idou from the demo tour seems to have an awful lot in common with UIQ demo we seen a few months ago. Very slick!
Oh and some official press pictures over on Mizzle's Blog.

Has any SE representative actually stated that Idou is running on a Symbian platform (S60 or SF)? Or has everyone just started assuming things again? As far as I'm aware we still don't officially know what it runs on. Shame we dont get to see the other parts of the phone UI other than the music and gallery. |

From Engadgets website after the event:
We didn't doubt it for a second (okay, maybe one second), but Sony's so-called Idou is for real. Though, we wouldn't go memorizing that name or anything, 'cause SE has plans to change it to something more commercial before summer. At any rate, the touchscreen-heavy handset -- which will run Symbian Foundation at launch
Better video on You Tube from Mobile Burn of the device held in a hand but not switched on:

In fact do a search for it on there, the videos are uploading thick and fast!

Yeah, but are they saying that because an SE representitive said it, or are they just assuming? |

Well seeing as every blog, tech website, mobile phone website states the same Symbian Foundation OS will run on it I would think it's a fact currently. But no doubt the net will be full of tons of info by the end of the week. |
