In past posts, we have talked about Xperia Studio, and the really cool things we are producing with a lot of creative people. From 360 degrees rides on a mountain bike, to showing the invisible universe through an app, Xperia Studio is always pushing the limits of technology and reality.
Now, Xperia Studio presents The Swarm, the first movie filmed exclusively with Xperia arc S smartphones, directed by Tom Harper, BAFTA nominated British director of movies as The Scouting Book for Boys, This is England ’86 and The Borrowers.
…then you might have already noticed that during the autumn we have released a new Mac OS application: ‘Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac’ for our Xperia™ smartphones.
This great application lets you seamlessly connect your Xperia™ phone to your Mac computer. With a few clicks, you can fill your Xperia™ smartphone with new media – Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts and Playlists – by syncing with iTunes™.
In October, we told you about an exciting new project that our colleagues in the Extras team had been working on with London College of Fashion.
The project required students to research design and produce creative concepts for new, wearable technology incorporating the remote display LiveView™. We couldn’t tell you then but, behind the scenes, the students were also working on similar concepts incorporating our exciting new Android remote SmartWatch™, recently unveiled at CES 2012.
The winners of the project have now been announced.
Have you ever wondered what does someone from our customer service team think of the Sony Ericsson phones? Well, we interviewed one of our Customer service team, Markus Hermansson, about his experience with his Xperia smartphone and how he used it during their day. Check out what he told us.
1) How do you use your phone to make the most of your day?
I use my Smartphone Xperia arc (or ray) to do a lot. It wakes me up in the mornings (well, it tries to) and provides me with the lovely snooze option.
I get out of bed (eventually), get dressed eat breakfast etc. and then I check my Twitter and Facebook. During the day when working I listen to music a lot. LiveSound phone headphones = quality sound! When at the gym I also listen to music but I use a Bluetooth headset since the wires tend to get in the way.
Yesterday, the CES 2012 Hot Stuff awards were announced, and Xperia S smartphone was one of the winners, and we are not only really proud but really excited!
