SE Xperia Panel Interface Modded to Work on HTC Touch HD
Not sure why anybody would take on this project, but several modders at the xda-developers forum have gotten Sony Ericsson's Xperia X1 panel interface to work on HTC's Touch HD. From the look of it, X1 installs, launches and works without much of a speed difference, and the panel interface actually seems nicer on the Touch HD's roomier screen. I doubt either company would be happy about this, but if you ever wanted X1's interface rather than TouchFLO on your HTC handset, I guess now there's a way to get it.

Sony Sets 2012 Goal For 12MP Cell Cameras, Meets it in a Week
Last week Sony Ericsson predicted quite a few things for the cell phones of 2012: faster processors, high-resolution screens, superfast connectivity and most specifically, 12-20MP cameras. Well what do you know! Sony — that Sony — has just announced a 12.25MP CMOS sensor for phone cameras. Looks like either a horrible breakdown of internal communication or a hilariously obvious example of gaming expectations. In either case, expect these to start showing up in CyberShots (and others) well before 2012. [Akihabara] -

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1a Coming to Best Buy Next Month
According to inventory spy shots obtained by BGR, the North American version of the Sony Xperia X1 is expected to finally hit store shelves in the States via Best Buy stores starting on December 7th. If you were eager to get your hands on one, be prepared to fork over a whopping $800 for what appears to be an unlocked version—a price that hardly seems worth it for a Windows Mobile smartphone that really doesn't bring anything new to the table.
