The following information is not confirmed, but according to Handango's newsletter the highly anticipated Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 all-in-one handset will be available for purchase in September.

Sony Ericsson is developing a new technology that will merge Java ME and Adobe Flash Lite into one single Java application.

This will allow developers to create Flash-based applications that will be able to access phone functions through Java.

APIs will be available to developers later this year.

Judging by the available photos, two AT&T sliders will soon receive new colors.

The first is the LG Shine, which will be available in Black in addition to the existing Silver or Red variants, while the second is Sony Ericsson's W580, which apart from white, black, gray and pink will also come in green.

Specs and prices won't change.

As always there was no announcement from the manufacturer...

Anyway, just to let you know, Sony Ericsson's S500 and W580 phone models received a couple of new colors.

The S500 will now be available in "Steel Silver", while the W580 will come in so called "Velvet Red" color scheme.

Just briefly, Sony Ericsson K660 is now available in two cool new colors - cyan on black and silver on black.

No availability info, sorry. As always, no PR was published about this...

Sony Ericsson announced its Q1 2008 financial results, and they aren't too good - 47% profit decrease.

The company has sold 22.3 million handsets, which is by 2% more than in Q1 2007, but the average cost of the phones decreased from 134 EUR to 121 EUR, and high-end models weren't in demand. However, SE explains the drop in profits by the increase of R&D costs.
