gsmarena-aino

And here we have yet another preview from the GSMArena labs. This time it's about Sony Ericsson's semi-touchscreen Aino. Yep, the one with the new Media center, PS3 Remote Play, Wi-Fi and teh 8 megapixel camera. Generally, they seem to be quite happy with the handset, although at numerous points they reserved their judgement, due to the unoptimized condition of the pre-release software. Here's the conclusion:
Well, the Sony Ericsson Aino surely did surprise it. The very concept of it is so un-Sony-Ericsson-like. You've got a huge touchscreen, 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, plus all of the other the well-known goodies. We've gotta say that the microSD card support is more than welcome as well.

No longer do you have to choose between a Cyber-shot and a Walkman, and no longer should you go for other mobile phones when decent video recording is a must. It seems that Sony Ericsson are changing their game plan and thus they may be even changing the game itself.

Follow the source link for the whole preview.

That black model looks fine.
Any chance of sonyericsson.gif adapting the A200(?) interface to support touch fully through it?

I doubt there has been any significant development since... yesterday.

Good review.

Really like the camera interface and the media menu.

But there're no camera samples sad.gif

If they make it full touch compatible, they have a winner

Then they would have to change the whole UI, that's why they disabled it I guess.

Not necessarily. Just make the menu items bigger and optimize them to respond to touch commands. Not that complicated, me thinks.

Second speaker should be the earpiece.
