Sony has announced today three Exmor (CMOS) camera modules for future mobile phones, including at 5, 8 and 12 Mpix ones. Besides high-res photos, all three will also be able to shoot Full HD video. NICE!

It should be noted that the 12Mpix module won't be available until March 2009. Well, we can wait. Hopefully there won't be any delays.

Sony’s Mylo 2 never was a bestseller. That said, the price of $299.99 seems to be irrational for most people. With this in mind, Sony decided to cut the price by $100 in hope this would attract more buyers.

Good luck, Sony.

Today Sony Ericsson has denied the recent hearsay about the Android-powered Sony Ericsson Xperia X1.

They said it was a matter of compatibility, so I guess we're back on the good ol' Windows Mobie.

Sony has released its new DR-BT140QP bluetooth earphones in Japan. They support A2DP audio profile, and provide up to 12 hours of music playback and a 200 hours of standby time. With these you can also answer incoming calls and control your music player wirelessly via Bluetooth.

The new Sony DR-BT140QP earphones are available in multiple colors for $149.

You probably think that Sony's joint venture with Ericsson doesn't really have a major impact on the company's overall earnings. Well, maybe, but not in this case. The manufacturer's low income reflected in Sony's latest financial report with a 97% drop in cash payouts in comparison with the last year's performance - from ¥17.1 billion all the way down to a ¥0.6 billion.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Sony Ericsson's days are numbered, just makes you wonder how long Sony plans to tolerate those crappy balance sheets.

We have good news for those who actually own a Sony Mylo 2 messenger.

Sony has issued a firmware update that will add video recording capability to the handset (from rear-facing cam), as well as support for 16GB Memory Sticks.

Plus, there are some minor changes in the device's UI, and... that's pretty much it.

Check out the Sony Ericsson G502, the company's newly announced UIQ-based phone.

Don't expect anything special, though. According to some sources will be released on the 24th and will sport a QVGA display, 2Mpix camera, HSDPA support, Memory Stick M2-expandable storage, and the NetFront browser.

This is the Sony ICF-ClipMK2 - a stereo clock radio for the Apple iPhone.

This one-of-a-kind device comes with a remote control with full access to the iPhone's menu along with the clock's radio tuning and volume control. The adjustable holder mechanism perfectly fits the iPhone, but can also hold other smaller devices such as iPod and other players.

Sony Mylo 2 is a new personal communicator, perfect for keeping you in touch with your friends and browsing around the web while on the go.

It is available now for $299.99. Specifications include:

• Wi-Fi connectivity;
• 3.5" WVGA screen (800x480);
• Full slide-out QWERTY keyboard;
• 1.

Here are some pictures of the new Sony Ericsson P3i smartphone, which is apparently the successor of the recently released P1i.

There is almost no info on P3i's specs and don't expect it to be launched anytime soon. Some of the features include a touch-screen display, support for 3G and Wi-Fi networks, and a 3Mpix camera.
