A new toy called the Sony Ericsson Walkman W910i. However, we will not talk about the merits or functionality of the device - if you have the desire and interest, everyone can google their own photos, reviews and that dry column of numbers on the right ...
And in this mini-post I will go straight to the one goodies, or rather refined oriental sweetness. Waiter, dessert!
For the first time, Sony Ericsson used a new method of control in this phone - shake control.
First, the presence of this function is hinted at by a demo, and then the instructions are searched for the corresponding chapter.
Of course, like any control using gestures, it's simple - we turn on the playlist for playback and - voila!

Strong and sharp movement of the brush forward - switches to the next track, backward movement - to the previous one. Here is a small video
demo :

Well, of course, it was not without borrowing from the iPhone - turning the phone, we thereby turn the image on the screen. When watching videos and photos, you can already start to forget the scary words Layout, Landscape, etc.
At such moments it is almost possible to touch the Future, because it is Here!
PS Such small gifts from the manufacturer is not just happy to receive (and feel). At this point, you realize that these small gifts, moreover, are big steps towards the creation of a new, more understandable interface between man and machine. After all, admit it - and you have friends / relatives over 45 who are hard at mastering the menu of cell phones and searching the Internet ...
Upd. The word “for the first time” is really superfluous, other phones with such functionality exist and existed before. But in fact this is not important, I would like to emphasize the fact that manufacturers are looking for new ways of management that are more understandable to humans.
Imagine: you explain to the grandmother from the village - this button is a track ahead, this one is a track back. And she painstakingly writes it down on a piece of paper :)) But gestures, as a rule, do not require an explanation.
