Somebody had to go and do it. This time, it's Sony. Sensing a void in the social network user's desktop, Sony announced the new Sony Net-sharing CAM, a pocket-sized camera targeted at video bloggers and social networkers who regularly upload photos/videos onto the web.

The Net-sharing CAM allows seamless uploads of short video clips, and even takes 5-megapixel still photos. At 5 oz, it's hardly noticeable in your pocket, measuring just 1 3/16" x 4 1/8" x 2 1/4".

The CAM can record up to 5 hours of web-ready video on a 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo card, in MPEG4 format. Picture qualities range from QVGA/15fps to VGA/30fps (viewable on TV). A sharemark button allows you to tag the videos that you want to upload.

Pre-loaded with Portable software, you can directly publish videos to Crackle and other video sharing sites. The camera includes a built-in flash, 4x digital zoom and a 2.4" LCD screen. A Li-ion battery powers it up (expect 90 minutes of battery life).

Priced at US $200, the Sony Net-sharing CAM will be available online on Sony Style and in retail locations.

Now for something totally different, a concept phone made by a fan. As expected there aren't many detailed specifications about the mobile device, but what counts is the intention of making it look good, and by the image that point was a success.

The Sony Ericsson CS1i concept phone comes with:

- a 7megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom - pretty impressive, even for a concept
- a touch screen display
- and a big resolution 320x416 pixels

The concept phone in question was made with 3ds Max.

Ever since its launch way back in may the headset has garnered some attention. Sony Ercisson's new DS980 quite easily goes into 'must have' list. It is one headset which definitely makes listening to music and taking calls a quality experience. Designed stylishly it delivers a thump in your ears when listening to the music and at the same time gives a crystal clear voice when you are making and listening to calls. The headset gets Sony's trademark 'in-ear-phone' design and also they've incorporated a Digital noise cancellation/echo reduction technology to reduce background noise.

The Charcoal casing and the hidden OLED display go hand in hand and makes for quite an impressive package. That apart, the AFH(Adaptive Frequency Hopping) reduces the impact of interference between wireless technologies, resulting in excellent audio quality. Another interesting feature is the Automatic volume adjustment, which adjusts volume automatically as soon as you walk into a noisy environment in less than a second. Other features include Auto pairing and Talk/standby/music time of 6/300/6 hours.

No word on the pricing and availability as yet. The caption "coming soon" is still visible in the Sony Ericsson website.

Although it has not yet been confirmed by Sony themselves, it looks as though we may very soon have a new Walkman slider phone in our midst. The phone appears to be branded under the name Sony W999i.

If this is in fact a real phone that Sony is producing, it is likely to include such features as HSDPA connectivity, 2.4" 262K color QVGA screen, a 2-megapixel camera with autofocus, and should be about 12.5mm thick.

These images surfaced on a Swedish website, after rumors and grainy images hit a couple forums last week.

Sony Ericsson has revealed their newest Stereo Bluetooth Headset. The device is designed to provide superior sound that is wirelessly streamed directly from a phone or Bluetooth device. Some of its features include digital noise cancellation/echo reduction to reduce background noise and A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) for high quality sound to listen to music. It also features a multipoint function which allows the user to listen to music on a Bluetooth enabled notebook and handle calls from their cellphone at the same time. It’s battery life offers up to 6 hours of talk time or music playback. The headset was designed with comfort in mind and provides three sizes of soft silicon ear buds to ensure an perfect fit for the size and shape of the user's ear. The Sony HBH-DS980 Bluetooth headset will be available worldwide in Q3 of 2007.

Rumors are swelling around the new, Sony P700i smart phone. These include, a 320 x 240 screen, QWERTY keyboard (no word if this is virtual or real), GSM / GPRS / WCDMA, and OMA. These rumors all came from a XMS profile, so no word on if its true or what.

We'll be sure to keep you posted though!

There has been a rumor going around that Sony Ericsson might be working on a Playstation Portable branded phone. When the question about a possible PSPhone was brought up to SCEA, they responded with a no comment. But PSP’s senior marketing manager did mention that they are always evaluating new technology and listening to ideas and wants consumers have to offer.

Recently, Sony Computer Entertainment’s CEO Ken Kutaragi has revealed some new clever additions for the Sony PSP. Of the new additions included confirmation of a special add-on device which could turn the PSP into a phone. It is still currently under development.

On another note, browsing through the net I managed to find what seems to be a knock off of a PSP phone, not branded under the trusted Sony name. Apparently, over in china a PSP wannabe phone has been developed( the V191) which has a likeness of a miniature PSP. It seems that is doesn’t support PSP’s UMD disc, but it does include a Nintendo emulator, which games can be added via microSD memory cards. Aside from the gaming, the phone includes features such as: a 1.3MP camera, MP3 music player, and an MP4 video player. Lacking a numeric keypad, the phone also features a touchscreen to control any dialing or other phone navigation. In Hong Kong, the V191 is selling for about $650USD.

This is one phone to take note of for sure - the Sony Z750, their first tri-band HSDPA phone released in the North American market. If you've been looking for blazing fast broadband-like speeds on a cell phone, this might be just the phone you've been waiting for. It's high speed internet capabilities allow you to browse the web as it was meant to be, and makes checking your email a breeze.

Because of the phone's mirror-like outer finish, you might not notice the phone's external display unless you look very closely. Of course as the user of the phone, you'll be able to see on it who is calling in or texting you, but everyone around you won't. Perfect for when you're texting on the sly (not that we recommend that).

The phone also includes a number of great features, including true push email, live scrolling RSS feeds, and more. The phone also has a 2-megapixel camera, and with the HSDPA capability, you can upload your pics easily to your favorite blogsite for cool picture blogging. Not only that, but the phone's amazing 2.2-inch screen is great to share photos with your friends and family. The phone also has a nice built-in FM radio with RDS, and 3D gaming capabilities.

The hot new Sony Z750 phone is available in two colors: Phantom Grey or Rose Pink. It will be available in the North American market in selected markets from Q3 2007.

Today at the CTIA show, Sony Ericsson announced the latest addition to their line-up of Walkman-branded phones - the W580. The W580i features a slim slider form, at just 14mm thin, and has an awesome light effect along the side of phone that change as you navigate the music player. This phone's cool factor is enhanced even more by its impressive style, and the inclusion of several unique applications for imaging, fitness, and gaming.

The Sony W580 Walkman phone includes a pre-installed sports & fitness application that you can use to track your workouts. It will track your steps, running speed, time, and distance, as well allow you to monitor your calories. Who needs an iPod and the Nike iPod Sport Kit when you've got the all-inclusive Sony W580 Walkman phone?

The phone also features a nice 2-megapixel camera, which is a must for any cool phone these days. The phone can function as a portable photo album, which is great for when you want to share pictures while on the go.

As a Walkman phone, the Sony Ericsson W580 boasts impressive musical prowess, giving you the ability to organize and play your favorite music without any hassles. It's easy to create playlists, and with the RDS-FM radio, you can even listen to your favorite radio programs. TrackID allows you to identify songs that you don't recognize. Packaged with the phone is the Disc2Phone software which makes it easy to transfer music from your computer to your phone using a USB cable. It also comes with a 512 MB Memory Stick Micro, which can be upgraded by purchasing a larger capacity stick.

The W580 Walkman phone comes in two colors, Style White and Urban Grey, which are accented with bright orange on the inside. So far Sony hasn't released any word on pricing or availability, but we expect that it can't be too far off now.

When I looked at its back I thought it must be cool and funky. But oh!! The front side of Sony Ericsson M610i shattered me. Ok, it has a large display. But the keys on the keypad resemble the keys on a calculator. Whatever, you would judge yourself when it will come in the market expectedly on April 14th. Here is a piece of rumored information regarding Sony Ericsson M610i, successor to the current M600i smartphone. They say it seems as if it will come with a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus and Wi-Fi.
