Sony Ericsson says last year was about cameraphones, this year is about music
Remember what we said about 2005 being the year of the MP3 phone? Yeah, well Sony Ericsson has just issued a press release announcing that after focusing on cameraphones last year, this year they're going to be turning their attention to music. They don't get too specific—they'll get down and dirty at the 3GSM World Congress next week—but they are promising consumers "a new experience with the handsets." If they know what's good for them, they'll offer up a handset with dedicated music player control buttons, plenty of storage, good battery life, and native support for MP3 (and as many other formats as possible). The Sony-ness of Sony Ericsson makes us nervous, but we'll give 'em the benefit of the doubt.
