Ya, and Steyn went for $1.2 mill. Yoh, could buy lots of N8's with that, LOL.
Also taken from The Register:
'OK, so Sony's networking chief Kaz Hirai didn't announce the PlayStation Phone - or even confirm that this eagerly anticipated gadget is on the way, but he came darn close during his Consumer Electronics Show (CES) presentation this evening in Las Vegas.
He did confirm - twice, in case assembled hacks and analysts missed it first time - that Sony has a series of tablets in the pipeline, though whether Android, Windows 7 or both, he didn't say.
But Hirai did emphasise the a central part of Sony's strategy going forward through 2011 will be to leverage across its product range branding and expertise gained from specific parts of the line-up. He mentioned the PlayStation.
One example is Sony Ericsson's Xperia Arc Android smartphone, which leverages both Sony's telly brand, Bravia, and one of its camera tech brands, Exmor, to emphasise the quality of the handset's screen and camera, respectively.
Sony has done this in the past - the Cyber-shot and Walkman phone lines, in particular - but Hirai implied we'll see a lot more of this in the year ahead and beyond.
Some major announcements will come very soon, he said with a teasing 'you know what I mean' grin on his face. It's tempting to read that as a reference to next month's Mobile World Congress phone industry shindig in Barcelona - surely a likely venue for a PlayStation Phone announcement.'

@ Hobbster:
Er... one hand on the transmitter controlling the hover and the other taking the pic with the 5800.  Wasn't easy, LOL.

Are you ever tempted to go back to iOS? Looks like the current range is getting one sweet update, and the iP5 is starting to sound like a tempting device: http://www.gsmarena.com/ios_4[....]estures_and_more-news-2221.php

Tsepz Not in the least.Gonna wait and see what Blackberry have to offer me in the year 2012.Im pretty happy with my X10.F the rest!
Was going to install Froyo Beta 1 last night (Zhizhu ROM).Downloaded everything I need but cant get the Android SDK installed on my Windows 7 64-bit system and you need it to KillAllServices on your phone from the PC after the first boot up.(No network and screen all crazy)
Will have to do some more homework.Not in any rush though.Just curious.

 im way too afraid to try Froyo beta1, i'll wait until it's possible to put custom ROMs with ROM Manager.apk ,good luck with it
I'm going to keep an eye on iOS , Meego and WP7, im also very happy with my X10 and Android, but a part of me is realy growing curious of WP7, by 2012 it should be mature and due to Microsoft's strict requirements devices wont have any strange things missing and there should be more consistancy in apps and games, it looks like it may become a great mix of iOS and Android.

Tsepz I was as well until I used xRecovery to install JIT and realized its not as scary as I thought.But its not worth it at the Beta 1 stage IMO.To many split ends for my liking.
Wanga Did you watch that dismal cricket match on Saturday.How the hell could they have lost?

Sigh Hobbster, yeah I find that a (choke...choke...) bitter one to swallow..
so much for losing the 'chokers' tag. We're not going to win the world cup, boet. We just can't manage pressure like that. Unfortunately. I'll only be too happy if I'm proven wrong, but if I was a betting man, my money would be quite safe, methinks.
