Sony Ericsson has finally gotten around to shipping yet another pedestrian Android offering, this time the Xperia X8. Much in the same vein as the X10 Mini, this handset features Android 1.6 and a custom SE interface. There is, naturally, a promised update to Android 2.1 by the end of the year, but seeing as SE has yet to deliver on promises for their other Android handsets, we’d suggest you not hold your breath.

We’re live at Sony’s Internet TV press conference, where we’re seeing the “world’s first HDTV powered by Google TV” (and its gnarly remote). Not bad at all, $1400 for the 46-inch model, available this weekend. Updated.

Check out our first impressions. We like!

If you thought the 14MP camera found in the Altek Leo was impressive, wait until you get a load of this 16.41MP bad boy Sony just dropped. The Exmore R-based CMOS sensor will be hitting handsets starting next year and will be sure to do its part in the continual ante-upping of the smartphone wars.

I know Android 2.2 is out, and I know you’d rather have that over Android 2.1 (bigger numbers means better, duh), but those who hang on for dear life to their Sony Ericsson Xperia X10s can at least be happy knowing that SE’s moving closer and closer to getting you guys off of Android 1.6.

Sony’s upgrading its chunky little Bloggie personal camcorder into a full-blown touchscreen device, with the Bloggie Touch—a sleek little option for recording Full HD video and capturing 12.8 megapixel still shots.

The biggest change to new Bloggie is the addition of a 3″ touchscreen, which has allowed Sony to ditch the black plastic of the last-gen Bloggie in favour of a minimalist new look.
