Sony are having a busy day with a number of announcements. Here’s a run through of some of the headline grabbers.
Sony are launching a new range of Xperia smartphones and bringing tablets into the range too. The James Bond Skyfall movie wil feature one of the new phones, the Xperia T which Sony is describing as its flagship phone for some markets.
A theme seems to be connections – using your phone to stream to a large (Sony) TV or, of course, the PlayStation Cerified options.
The Xperia T will launch in the UK next month, the Xperia J will launch in Q4 and the tablet will be known as the Xperia Tablet S.
