Sony is going to enrich Google with more advertising money, not Sony.

Android is a really solid phone OS and 2.0 is looking amazing. So, why wouldn't companies want to use it when they don't have to spend millions developing their own OS in-house? Spending money on an ANOTHER app marketplace...?

I'd rather have one really good OS out there with companies adding their style to(Motorblur, Sense UI, etc) and having a universal app marketplace.

Then companies can worry about other things like features for the phone and hardware. Plus as a consumer you feel more comfortable switching across phones/carriers knowing you'll be comfortable with the OS and the marketplace.]]>Oct 16th 2009 5:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/Oct 16th 2009 5:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/
So are you saying that having and maintaining your own OS has a better revenue model then using a widely used OS? Of what i can see traditional cellphones are going out the door and smartphones are being bought up, i mean people who don't even need a smartphone are buying them. Plus in this market no one would choose to buy a non major OS phone because it won't have any support from major and minor developers.]]>Oct 16th 2009 5:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/
Now they could go the Palm route and develop their own OS and use something like Linux or Unix as a base, but using Android is not going to put them in a really good position for the future. They're setting themselves up for another failure.

Just my two cents.

That's pretty pessimistic. Look at the HTC Hero (not to mention other HTC models). They use Windows Mobile AND Android, not to mention a couple of XDA tweaks here and there.

And there's also the Droid, and the CLIQ from Motorola.

I don't think Sony Is putting themselves in a bad position by going with Android. Nobody feels like using UIQ anymore and until Windows Mobile 7 comes out, they opted for this. I'm all for it as well..]]>Oct 16th 2009 5:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/Oct 16th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/Oct 16th 2009 6:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/16/sony-ericsson-q3-slump-buoyed-by-new-financing-a-rumored-novemb/
Sony does and it's called PlayNow Arena.

I guess it's personal, but jeez man.

Anyway, HD2 has WM and it's already out.
This will apparently have 2.0 "Eclaire" on it but it will battle whatever will be out when it's released, possibly Quantum mobile phones... given SE's speed at releasing mobiles.

Wonder why they're loosing money with such a clear strategy: WinMo, s60, Android... really don't know what to do anymore!

too bad SE mobile's used to be among the best for media qualities.
