Sony Ericsson has recently announced that they are joining the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) led by Google, which means that they are committed at the Android user interface. Previously the manufacturer has been critcising the UI, as it provides too many Google services, but after abandoning the Symbian UIQ platform the only other logical choice for the company is Windows Mobile, with much weaker multimedia capabilities. Google Android has finally proved to be a better choice with its advanced multimedia features. Based on the shallow references of the company's spokesperson the first Android-based Sony Ericsson mobile phone will be a high-end one, and it is expected to launch next summer, so it is possible to be a member of the new Xperia series. There are no detailed infos available of the new handset, but it's highly probable that they are coming soon, as Sony Ericsson's secrets are usually leaked months before the official announcement.
