I disagree. Sony have confirmed they will not be using Android on there devices in the future.
SondreVAIO... Stop posting 1001 threads about the same damn thing. You've done this multiple times with multiple topics.
source? they will be using around and windows mobile and said that while unlikely they may persue buying palm OS from HP.
however this deal does not go through until early 2012 so expect business as usual.
my source...my uncle who works for S.E in sweden
I think I am going to get a Samsung next time I get a new smartphone, If Sony confirmed there not using Android.
I don't know if I'm gonna like this unless it means more big budget titles come to the Xperia PLAY.
Sony's got a long streak going for dip**** decisions, poor marketing and absolutely dreadful ad campaigns. SE's Kristen Schaal ads for the Xperia PLAY were easily better than any of that garbage Sony tried to market the PS3 with.
who needs sony we have our own comunity here we will build our own ultimate rom if sony leave us in a pit.

Unless you have an r800x then, like me sadly, you need sony to release some kernel sources for your device, which may never happen, so in some way I agree with you because Im sure a dev in this community will figure the lil ol' r800x out sooner or later
If sony drops android though I will more then likely go back to Droid line up , Im seeing Droid 4 on Lte kinda tempting
But at the same time Im enjoying the challenge of my r800x, it will be defeated!

I second that. I'm a bit worried too. Indeed Sony has a history of making very very bad decisions by trying to go their own way and fail.

well....your gonna have to show a link for that, SE mentioned a while ago that 80% of there revenue came from their android phones, why would they jump ship now?
in fact i got a quaot for you from engadget:
"Update: Sony president and CEO Sir Howard Stringer has just addressed the media on the proposed buyout and confirmed that the company will indeed move away from feature phones, as previously stated. This effectively heralds the death of the Walkman line and the dawn of Sony's exclusively Android era, though Stringer's not ruling out the possibility of bringing another OS on board. When asked whether his firm would consider buying webOS, the exec said simply, "Never say never."

Keep up to date im posting these on my site www.bitsnacker.com
I see why they are releasing the Xperia play, but im not so sure on the neo, pro and arc as they are all basically the same phone with a different case! They have definitely learnt fro the x10 customers though i think
There's a contest on Facebook to win one of ten Play's a month early. I think I'd rather play Farmville though.
Just been looking at the specs of the Neo and Pro.. The pro has more of a "business" market to it.. I'm not a huge fan of slide out keyboards, but a lot of people are..
The Neo seems to be a slightly smaller version of the Arc, but with the added benefit of a front facing camera...
I think I'd be torn between the Arc and the Neo.. would have to get both in my hand to see which one is best for me.
lol probably get released with 2.1 and then get froyo a year later when everyone else is already on android 3.0...
Fk SE, I love my x10 but I wouldn't buy another one of their phones
Fck SE, with XDA I can have whatever I want!

Quick question though, are they planning to release the 2.4 soon?
as far as I know it will be the same as the 2.3 but with dual-core apps support
Can't blame them if they won't though, Google just release 2.3 is December and they already are planning to release 2.4 in April :S
They have to slow down honestly, with this rate, they'll be out of OS names soon

That's about all that's different. If you want to save ALOT of money, go for neo, just a friendly suggestion I'm personally getting the arc soon, though if I have to dish out my money, the neo sold me

I didn't know opinions allowed here includes profanities In the view of people who use such words can only be viewed in one aspect as I have described. I don't mind people talking with real reasons, and I have accepted many opposing opinions, but to come in and say "F this, F that" IMO doesn't really put up much of a fight...
I couldn't find anything on this here and wasn't sure where to post it but "x10 general" seemed logical.
It is with great sadness that we have to bring you the news that this will be the last post on this website. Sony Ericsson has filed a formal complaint about the use of the trademarked ‘Xperia’ name in our domain name and have requested that the domain names, including that of XperiaBlog.net, be transferred to them.
Sony Ericsson is alleging that we have used the domain names in “bad faith”. We are stunned and disappointed that Sony Ericsson, a company that we have spent much of our free personal time in promoting, especially the Xperia brand, has decided to take this formal action against us. After all we are just like you, passionate Sony Ericsson users, who have strived to bring the community breaking news and an independent viewpoint.
We do not have the resources to fight Sony Ericsson on this and therefore this is the last you will hear from us. Sony Ericsson has made great strides in its Xperia portfolio, especially in listening to the community. This makes it all the more confusing as to why Sony Ericsson would want to shut us down. We genuinely believe that 2012 could be a bumper year for the company, we just wish we could have been there along for the ride.
All the best.

This sucks :-(
Just seen it on the site myself. Like so many posts on the site said in response to the article, it was a place to stop by for X10 news.
Sad day. Another point against SE.
That sucks.
Before I discovered XDA, xperiax10.net was the place I visited most often after I first got my X10. They posted lots of helpful news and information.
I never found them to be of 'bad faith' to Sony Ericsson at all. Quite the opposite, actually.
Too bad SE has to go and do this. After they gave us the generic 2.1 and 2.3 updates and followed by supporting the CyanogenMod group, I really thought they had become very community-friendly. This is sad news that SE seems to have taken a few steps backwards.
yep that's what I was thinking.
I mean I DO see where they are coming from (SE) but... come on, its not like they would have been making much money from it, any money I assume would have been put back into the running of the site - and anyway, what the hell do SE want with the domain, it's just like a playground bully.
Booooo!!
this is a bummer. i mean, isn't it free advertising on SE's part that someone else is running a website for their phones, right? plus, it's highly unlikely that SE will put a site that will discuss or will elaborate on their phones on a user-level.
What a sad story :-( that site is very imformative and a none biased one...

Will this affect xda-developers site too?
Will SE require the xda-developers site to stop the use of the Xperia reference in forums next? Should we be concerned?

I think they will have no problem with you using 'experia' in the name
Well, that's the final nail in the coffin for me!
I've had enough with the way SE have treated us over the life of the X10. I no longer use Timescape since the GB release, I've never used Mediascape and this week the SE facebook sync keeps giving me sync failure messages, even though I turned off facebook sync (I really don't want 'deep' facebook integration anyway!)!
Now killing the Xperia blog site, most certainly the best SE info site, is just taking the P1$$!
If there was any doubt before, now my mind is made up, I want vanilla android on a google experience device! My next handset will be a Galaxy Nexus!
The first time in over 10 years I won't be using an SE phone. They can't treat their customers the way they do and expect them to stay loyal!

No Sony will open the pandoras box... they will defend their own stuff. Lock the Bootloader for sure, and introduce encryption. Why?
We all know that Sony for years didn't give to its child SE one thing... Playstation Sources... nobody in the world can emulate PS2/PSP as good as their own creator... we all know that theoretically wise todays phones are PS2 capable if PSP Vita is PS3 graphics capable at the moment... imagine, if your stock Android could run all PSP/PS2 legacy just with proper efficient recompiler? SE experimented with Xperia Play and stepped on Sony's foot, and seems Sony didn't like it, as it can ruin their business with PSP line(inner competition).
Style? Yeah for sure... it was and it will be... SONY has the best design by default... nobody can touch them in that department...

You're spouting a lot of rumor and opinion as truth.
From what I hear ericsson was the dead weight in that relationship, holding up development and making poor choices.
I think we will in the end see this as a very positive move.
I really think Sony knows better than to bury themselves like you are implying.
Soon, someone is going to make a misinformed post about the whole Sony/PS3/GeoHot thing and how that relates to this situation...
EDIT:
Which it doesn't, of course.
U know no means to connect PS3 to android its completely different sony made PS3 and its firmware and they want to sell games and keep away piracy from PS3 to earn money...
In android I think its a rule to atleast release the kernel sources...
And they don't want to loose money they are here to earn money and they see every means and techniques to earn money and they will definitely not lock their devices down to loose their money by losing their costumers...
The prices I think will definitely raise

I think they will improve their product as they can in order to compete in the market. And Sony's software policy is the same on each platform. Android is not an excuse.
And... We are not objective mates... we are just a bunch of geeks, and mere customers doesn't care about locked/unlocked bootloaders. We are nothing more than a mere minority of the market... definitely not the one on whom money could be made!(except of the habit bricking phones)
No matter what Ericsson is dead again... it is the second time Although its original Semiconductor part is doing great... its next gen CPU is present even on Chinas HTC Sensation(Due TD-SCDMA) and new NovaTHOR platform sounds very good, so we wont forget the name so soon.
The Biggest looser in the market is that old rubber boot maker... SE because the plain redesign using faster CPU, minimized the costs for R/D and etc development to establish new generation of phones for fall season... instead of NOKIA throwing out endless rubbish...

Not really . Because it will never compete with kind of experience that you get with the Vita. I'm satisfied with my Xplay because all I really need is emulator games and ocasional android fun titles.
Throwing an Xplay 2 would mean that they actually care about our gaming needs. Let's face it, all the other phones, whatever their hardware might be(quad, octo cores) they will never rival a phone playstation controls or physical controls for that matter. The way I see it, they should try to reduce the bulkiness and make the slider system more like the ones we see on the Nokia's(much more sturdy).
If you make it slimmer, port in some God of War games, make it more sturdy(a gaming device needs that) then people will BUY
Atlas was not a God
The next Xplay 2 will be named Hercules

As much as I don't believe there is any Xperia Play 2 in the works, I am sure some of you will remember the buzz that preceded the release of PSP GO.
"What? Why would Sony release such a thing? A new PSP a with slide-out gampead and ONLY flash memory and no UMD slot??? They will never do such a thing."
And then - BANG! A video was released on YouTube with PSP GO, even before Sony officially announced the thing. Came as a shock to many, myself included.
Saying that, I still don't believe they have any kind of a new Xperia Play in their plans. The market is in a different situation now from then.

I feel your pain, but Sony confirmed there are no plans for a successor.

thats why after my contract done im done with gaming on phones PERIOD because there aint no point in touchscreen controlls. by then ps3(mabe ps4) and i will be reunited since i havent been going near that thing since i got my play
F**K YOU SONY whatever business is business
I sincerely don't belive in these types of rumours, similarities and so on. If it's official, ok, if it's the Sun that will surely kill us in 5 billion years and we must stay in our homes starting form now (speaking about the "Atlas" rumour), it's nonsense.

Where did they confirm this? All I've seen them say is that they are focused on bringing the playstation experience to other phones in the lineup. They are focusing on the ps certified experience. If anything, this guarantees a successor to the play. It may not be something they are prepared to talk about now (hence denying all rumors to the contrary), but mark my words, it's going to happen.

....The Xperia Miro... the "fun" social smartphone....... *cue the Price is Right "loser" music*
http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/13/sony-xperia-miro/
"Only slated for release in Europe" wow Sony, wow. Even though the phone is crap, you could at least have the decency to not hype it in America then say, "oh sorry, I didn't mean that you would get anything fun"
Oh God! That's the last thing this world needs is a stupid social smartphone

Obviously I cant but what i'm saying is that Sony are just releasing the same phone over and over again only improving MINOR things.
I thought a surprise would be a completely new phone with a QUAD CORE processor and 4.8'' screen like the Samsung Galaxy S3.
When are we gonna see MAJOR changes ?

There's not much we can do about sony's decisions. If they want to do what htc did in 2011 and release alot of phones that has minor differences, its their loss if they fail.

If you want something like the S3 then get the S3.
Sony wouldn't do that as they don't have enough marketing influence to sell something like that
CyanogenMod 9 Xperia Play
FreeXperia Project
Pax close this thread please. This discussion has NOTHING TO DO WITH THE XPERIA PLAY.
So Sony's plan is to release as much devices as possible, Like HTC *once* did.

I agree.. When you think of "Heavy Hitters" in the industry, Sony doesn't rank up there. At least not in the US.
Maybe it was the taboo of being once associated with Ericsson and Ericsson's shoddy equipment back in ATTWS's TDMA days.
