Sony Ericsson Anio – Allows You To Acess Your Playstation 3

Sony Ericsson have announced that there will soon be another great mobile phone on the market called the Aino. The Sony Ericsson Anio will offer users the best of two worlds with the keypad combined with an intuitive touch UI in media mode. This will be the first phone by Sony Ericsson to sport a widescreen and touchscreen display on the same device.

With the Sony Ericsson Anio you will be able to control your Playstation 3 games console and access its media content on your Aino anywhere, anytime using Remote Play with Playstation 3. Remote Play with Playstation 3, initially developed for PSP had held games console, enables users to control and access media content on Playstation 3 from their mobile phone. This can be done via a local network between your Playstation 3 and your Sony Ericsson Aino at home or via the internet from anywhere you are in the world. For TV lovers in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and in the UK users can also enjoy the PlayTV service on there Playstation 3 via the Aino mobile phone.

The Sony Ericsson Aino will also have something called Media Home, this is a application that pulls media content from Media Go on your PC over Wi-Fi to your phone automatically. All you have to do is insert your Aino into its charging stand and it automatically synchronizes with all the latest media content on your PC. This will save you so much time, because you will not have transfer music, photos and videos in a long drawn out way.

The new Sony Ericsson Aino mobile phone will also boast a sleek, stylish design. The move in design look much more contemporary than the previous designs by Sony Ericsson in there flagship series of mobile phones such as the W995. The mobile phone comes in what Sony call a luminous white colour, but do doubt as often happens this phone will been released in a number of colours to broaden its appeal. This touch screen mobile phone is a lot different other say like the Nokia N97, in that there are no key at all on the front of the phone.

With the Sony Ericsson Aino you will be able to watch movies on the 3 inch screen and listen to music in superb quality and with increased freedom – thanks to the stylish Wireless Stereo Headphone MH100 and matching Charging Stand EC100 which will be included with the Aino mobile phone. This powerful phone offers a great range of exciting features including a 8 megapixel camera with a built in flash and has the all important music playing capabilities that you would expect with a Sony mobile phone.

Overall this is a very good phone and the whole concept  of how the phone looks, works and functions is  unlike anything Sony Ericsson would normally do. You’ve got a nice big touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, plus all the other great extras. This phone has a little bit of everything and will not feel like you will be sacrificing one function for another – say the camera for the Walkman functions and this should really heat you the mobile phone market. The Sony Ericsson Aino will be out in the 4th quarter of 2009.
