Walkman music brand appears on newest Android phone from Sony Ericsson

Sony Ericsson has announced a new Android smartphone called ‘Live with Walkman’. The Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman features a dedicated Walkman button that provides instant access to the music player. There’s also Facebook integration that allows consumers to ‘like’ and share tunes, plus there’s Sony’s Qriocity service offering access to millions of songs and thousands of movies.

The phone has a 3.2-inch screen, a 1GHz processor and a 5 megapixel camera with 720p HD video recording. It’ll run the ‘Gingerbread’ v2.3 of the Android operating system.

Nikolaus Scheurer, Head of Product Marketing at Sony Ericsson, said “Consumers want smartphones to deliver a rich and social entertainment experience. Rather than a one dimensional music experience, they want instant and seamless access to new content, combined with the ability to share and connect with their friends. The Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman provides exactly this, in a powerful package with great style.”

Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will be available before the end of 2011.

I'm trying to end the purple reign of my HTC One

Mark Bridge writes:

The two-year mobile phone contract has almost become a standard, despite EU efforts to make it a worst-case scenario. I went into the Brighton branch of Carphone Warehouse today and was told I couldn't upgrade to a 12-month contract. Last year I could; now they would only offer me a 24-month deal.

CAT B100 rugged mobile phone review

CAT B100 rugged mobile phone review

Mark Bridge writes:

There’s no doubting the CAT B100 is a tough looking phone. It’s the kind of phone that needs to be described by someone with a voice rather like James Earl Jones or Isaac Hayes. The promotional video shows a chap on a building site and another guy on a motorbike delivering emergency supplies to a hospital. Apparently that’s the target market.
