Yari will be the first one

Japanese-Swedish phone maker Sony Ericsson will pack its future handsets with the Flexion technology from Accumulate UK, according to a global licensing deal the two companies signed and announced recently. According to Accumulate UK, Sony Ericsson becomes this way the first handset vendor around the world to include mobile games with Flexion on new mobile phones, based on the success Hutchison 3G UK has had.

As many of you might already know, it was only recently that mobile phones started to come to the market with pre-loaded games. Games are now seen as a necessary component of any mobile phone, yet they were only considered a means of cheering oneself up before. Full versions of games were present on handsets previously only after phone makers paid publishers license fees for them.

However, Accumulate UK’s Flexion technology is meant to transform the costs handset makers register for having full game versions pre-loaded on their devices into a revenue stream. What it is meant to do is to make users curious about the content on their devices and allow them to try out games before they purchase them, while also offering them ‘rent for the day’ or ‘have-a-go for 25p’ options, the company states.

“We are delighted that Sony Ericsson has taken this step together with us. We have been preloading Flexion enabled games with operators for a while now with very good results. With the help of Sony Ericsson we will extend our reach significantly,” Accumulate’s MD Jens Lauritzson commented on the agreement between the two companies.

The Flexion technology has been also designed so as to promote games similar to the ones pre-loaded on the handset, something that should end up in new trials and sales. According to Accumulate, this move is called ‘on-device retailing.’ The technology is to be included first on Sony Ericsson’s Yari device, due for release before the end of the year.

Vodafone has announced it has bagged exclusives on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2, the LG GM750 and the Nokia E72, the first two of which until the end of the year.

As many of you will know, the Xperia X2 is the successor to Sony Ericsson’s X1 and offers a 3.2-inch display, as well as QWERTY keyboard, a panel-based interface, an 8-megapixel camera and will offer Windows Mobile 6.5.

The LG GM750, LG’s first Windows Mobile 6.5 device, has a 3-inch touchscreen, supports Wi-Fi, HSDPA, GPS and will sync with your calendars and e-mail accounts. There’s also a 5-megapixel camera on the back.

The 3G Nokia E72, the successor to the E71 gets a full QWERTY keyboard, inbuilt GPS and 5-megapixel camera and will be exclusive to Vodafone in black.

Pricing is not yet confirmed for any of the devices, but those interested can pre-register on Vodafone’s online shop.

The days of scrabbling around to find the correct mobile phone charger are to end after a landmark agreement between the leading manufacturers.

Companies including Apple, Nokia and Sony Ericsson yesterday promised to start offering phones that fit a universal charger from next year.

The move comes in response to anger from consumers who are landed with chargers with different connections for each phone bought.

Say goodbye to all these phone chargers. Mobile companies have agreed to go universal.

Most are thrown away, creating unnecessary cost and waste. There are more than 30 different chargers in circulation in member states of the European Union, which estimates that 51,000 are lying unused.

The other seven companies to sign the deal are Motorola, LG, NEC, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Qualcomm and the BlackBerry maker Research in Motion.
The first generation of phones that use the same Micro-USB connection will go on sale from next year.

Users of Sony Ericsson’s Aino are allowed to control PlayStation 3 and access its media content. For TV lovers in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and in the UK, users can also enjoy the PlayTV service on Playstation 3 via the Aino, according to the company.

Aino also introduces Media Home, an application that pulls media content from Media Go on user’s PC over Wi-Fi to the phone automatically, the company said.

The Aino includes a three-inch 16 million-color screen, 8.1-megapixel camera, A-GPS and Bluetooth, and a keypad combined with an intuitive touch UI in media mode, the vendor highlighted.

We’re already app to our necks in App Stores as it is. Now Sony Ericsson have gone and done a deal which will see punters able to download 45,000 free apps from PlayNow Arena. PlayNow Arena is Sony Ericsson’s music and video online store (read: answer to iTunes), and now thanks to a deal with GetJar, the world’s largest independent app store, will offer access to free applications.
