New Sony Ericsson Aino released
Sony Ericsson has launched a new mobile Sony Ericsson Aino with 8 Mega Pixel Camera and integrated Walkman player. It has a feature which can automatically connect to your PlayStation 3 or PC, enabling you to access all the contents stored on there. The PS3 connection can even be used to watch, pause and record live TV. It brings in some heavy multimediafirepower such as a PS3-inspired touch menu, a large 3-inch touchscreen, VGA@30fps video recording.
Opening the slider reveals a whole bunch of keys and turns the Aino into an incredibly long handset. The dedicated Call and End knobs are crammed between the soft keys and the Activity menu and C key, but they are still large enough and easy to hit. The Aino front panel is mainly occupied by the large 3-inch display and a bunch of sensors located in the vicinity (some of them are hidden in the earpiece). Sony Aino is available in two colours Luminous White and Obsidian Black.
