A few days back, we had posted a news that certainly broke all your hearts out there. But hey, looks like 2009 has got lots of releases in store from the company. The latest news is Sony Ericsson may actually outsource production of its Android-powered handsets to Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) although the company has declined to say when its “Google phone” will be available, according to a Chinese-language Commercial Times report.
If you remember, company CEO Hideki Komiyama had said during a recent interview with Reuters that it would take some time before Sony Ericsson offers its own Android-based handsets. Whether that was a bluff is yet to be seen actually!
However, the Commercial Times quoted market sources citing internal documents at Europe-based carrier Orange 
which indicate that Sony Ericsson and Orange will jointly launch Android phones in time for the 2009 year-end holiday season.
The Android phones which will bare SE’s brand would be outsourced to Foxconn – the manufacturer that also makes Apple’s iPhone.
The rumor goes on to say that Orange expects to jointly launch an Android device [or devices, plural 
] with Sony Ericsson in time for the holidays this year. All eyes and ears set on May 28th EU News now!! Idou will either be symbian as we all know or if it really releases during Falls, then it may be…

The much-anticipated Opera Mobile 9.7 server-accelerated browser for smartphones and mobile devices has been launched at the CTIA Wireless 2009 event. For carriers, Opera Mobile 9.7 with Opera Turbo provides “a more consistent and compelling full Internet experience” by compressing data up to 80%, thus reducing unwanted traffic and congestion and allowing users to access the Web regardless of network limitations
Additionally,the proprietary Opera Turbo offloads web page rendering to Opera servers, freeing up device resources. Opera says the new mobile version is 25 % faster than its predecessor.
Opera Mobile 9.7 with Opera Turbo gives our business customers the ability to bring a rich Internet browsing experience to their mobile device and to the end user without having to allocate new resources and development costs,” said Rod Hamlin, senior VP for Opera, in a statement.
Another standout is that the Opera Mobile 9.7 browser features Opera’s Presto 2.2 rendering engine and full support for web technologies like Ajax and Flash along with support for the Google Gears open source browser extension. Google Gears typically comes as a browser plug-in to allow users to access information offline on supported sites.
As more cell phone users browse the Web on the go, Opera is seeing increased competition. The company already has to compete with on-deck browsers like Apple’s mobile Safari and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer Mobile, but it’s also seeing a crop of newcomers in the mobile browser space.
