Sony Ericsson has an eye on Android 2.0

Just a month ago, Sony Ericsson Hideki Komiyama announced that the company is not in a hurry with the release of smartphones running the Android platform, explaining this decision by the need for lengthy testing of the OS from Google. It seems that the existing version of the platform is one of the leading handset manufacturers to really miss. The fact is that today, Peter Ang (Peter Ang), Sony Ericsson's vice president of marketing in the Asia-Pacific region, said that the company plans to begin producing communicators already based on the Google Android 2.0 software platform. And this is despite the fact that the Android OS 2.0, codenamed Donut, is currently under development, and the timing of its release at Google is not specified. So, it will take a long time for Sony Ericsson's googlephones to wait.

Most likely, Sony Ericsson simply does not want to be included in the market struggle and use the already existing version of the platform, but it’s logical to enter the market with devices running on updated and, theoretically, much more advanced and functional Android 2.0, which is known to get enhanced multimedia capabilities.

In addition to applications for the account of Android 2.0, Peter Ang also drew attention to the fact that Sony Ericsson is not going to stop the release of smartphones on Symbian and Windows Mobile.
