I wonder if the Xperia Ray will work with the LiveDock accessory for HDMI out. |

My thoughts exactly - on the specs on page 1 of this thread I didn't see HDMI support on Xperia Ray.
To be honest THIS is what Arc should've been - there was no need for such an incredibly elongated screen - but the Arc is still beautiful. Ray ... will be a StingRay and I think will sell more.
Why didn't SE go with a dual-core cpu on this?! Although SE is pushing incredible efficiency out of the single Dragon cpu's I worry that new Android OS after 2.3 will be taxed on this.

From mobile-review.com:
"The second accessory is a cradle that you can put upright on the table or lay it down horizontally and it also features the Sony Ericsson app. On the back side of the cradle there is an HDMI slot and when you connect it to your TV a respective app is launched.
You can connect a wireless keyboard and a mouse (I used SE Play) to get a kind of a mini PC with a large screen. It is very convenient for web browsing, email and other apps and it also supports wireless gamepads for playing (during the demo they used a wireless PS3 gamepad). "

Well. I was sold on the Neo pro as being my next phone to replace my x10 but after seeing this i'm now leaning more towards the Ray.
I tried sniffing coke once but didnt like it. The bubbles kept going up my nose  |

How does the connectivity even work? Thought you can only connect wireless hardware with honeycomb |

The only thing that i do not like about this phone is the 3.5mm Audio Jack which looks like a lump.
a closer look of the 3.5mm audio jack in the link below (4th pic from the top)

I liked the bold part very much but the thing I'm not getting to know how it works yet is that the dock only has a USB cable to connect to the phone, so where the HDMI signal goes then ?? does the phone has MHL so the dock uses the USB to have the HDMI signal ? or it doesn't support MHL but another Sony thingies ?
and if the Dock can charge the phone... where's the charger input ?

At the back there is an HDMI output, a short micro-USB cable to attach to your phone and a spare micro-USB connector used as charger input. |

Take a closer look, you may need to zoom or search for larger/more detailed picture of the ports
What I see are two ports
1- USB female port, this one is very clear, take this pic to be sure
2- A mini HDMI socket, this one is hard to know, I think you mis-recognized the port duo to the similarities between miniHDMI and microUSB female ports... you need to take a closer look to recognize the port correctly...
the main and more clear different between miniHDMI and microUSB female port is the connectors location, in miniHDMI the connector is located in the middle and there's pins on both sides of it, in microUSB the connector is very close to the wider base of the connector, while pins are in one side only...

both pics are small, but you can zoom the first picture and you will see the middle placed connector
also the microUSB port does have much fewer pins (4 pins only) that can be seen easily, but pins in miniHDMI are more (19pins) and very hard to see coz of their size so this is miniHDMI port and not microUSB...
at least from the pics I saw... if any one have more pics or larger ones please provide

Maybe it is a mini-HDMI, but it still has a flash symbol right below it, which usually indicats it is used for charging.
