- Sony Ericsson is adding Google Talk and video features this fall to its Xperia smartphone line.
- The features will be available courtesy of an upgrade to the Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread platform.
- The phone maker is also adding 3D camera features and increased social networking capabilities such as making Facebook access easier and quicker.
- According to eWeek, key features include: “The ability to let users turn their Xperia smartphone into a mini PC by connecting mouse, keyboard or game controllers via USB to the Sony Ericsson LiveDock multimedia station, or to a TV via HDMI; Swipe text input (a competing technology to Swype on Android handsets); and screen capture from anywhere in the phone, a valuable tool for Web publishers.”
- Expect the Xperia line to be available by October, possibly before the iPhone 5 fall launch.
