Sony's 'Music Unlimited powered by Qriocity' service is being made available for a number of Sony Ericsson Xperia smartphones from today.

The Android client is available for download in the USA, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Watch almost any American TV show from the 1960s - I'd recommend a good police procedural - and at some point after a few episodes there'll be a scene in a restaurant. One of the main characters will be dining and their meal will be interrupted by a waiter bringing a telephone to the table. The phone will probably have an implausibly long cable, although there may be a telephone socket nearby.

Sony Ericsson is demonstrating its commitment to the PlayStation-certified Xperia Play smartphone by announcing more than 20 new games for the device, including 10 exclusive titles. All are optimised for the Xperia Play and will join the current list of more than 60 titles.

It also says additional games from Sony Computer Entertainment's collection of classic PlayStation 1 titles will be coming to Xperia Play soon.

O2 has published the latest scores from its Eco rating scheme. Nokia's C6-01 and E7-00 topped the list, both scoring 4.1 out of 5, followed by the Samsung Galaxy Mini, the Sony Ericsson X8 and the Nokia C7-02 - all with 4 points.

The Eco ratings were launched in August last year as part of O2's Think Big sustainability programme.

PlayStationLifeStyle.net has interviewed Dominic Neil-Dwyer, Sony Ericsson's Head of Market Development, about the launch of the company's Xperia Play gaming phone.

Games sales are discussed, with the number of PS1 game downloads from the Android Market showing as between 100 - 500 sales in most cases.
