As you may know, Sony has decided to use letters to name the different units of the Xperia series. Thus, we have the Xperia S now and we’re getting ready to receive the Xperia U and the rumored Xperia P and maybe that tempting Xperia X, that’s supposed to be a new PlayStation Phone. As far as the Sony Xperia U goes, this device was codenamed...
Sony isn’t happy with just launching the PS Vita console in Europe and USA (soon), bringing its quad core hotness and Vita OS to us all… now they want to expand the use of this platform.

After the Sony Xperia P, Xperia S and Xperia U we get a newcomer, that has a fuller name, not just a letter: Xperia Sola. This name was recently trademarked by Sony in USA and Europe, so we’re to expect an unveiling ASAP, maybe at MWC 2012 in Barcelona this month. We have no idea what this handset will bring, but I’m sure glad it’s...
Kazuo Hirai is a person I’ve always admired and respected for what he did for the PlayStation brand.

The folks on XDA Developers have recently published on the main site some pictures of a Sony smartphone that’s supposed to run Windows Phone 7. This looks very much like the Xperia Arc S, but one that runs the Microsoft mobile OS. Odds are this is a fake handset, especially since it lacks the classic Windows Phone buttons. Last I heard, Sony...
