If I get pepped up about a new gizmo on the bloc and it's not made by Apple, chances are it is made by Sony (remember the PSP?). A Sony that has it's act together can really make life tough for Apple. Case in point, the just announced W900 phone. A bit bulky but man look at those specs - 2.2-inch QVGA 262k TFT display, FM radio, 2 megapixel auto-focus camera with flash, records and plays video at 30fps, and MP3, AAC audio playback, dedicated music controls, 3.5mm jack, and 470MB built-in memory with a memory stick duo slot!!! It's a beauty.
And if you, like me, are sitting there thinking the phone looks attractive then Sony comes along with some of their consumer electronics expertise and introduces a couple of interesting accessories to the mix. First off, the awesome speaker system that doubles as a phone charger. When you get home, where better to set your phone than on a charging base connected to a high performance speaker with a remote control. It would make a perfect bedroom sound system (our bedroom currently has none - hope you're noting this App). Here's a pic
Then there is the FM transmitter, pretty useful for folks like us who have a car stereo with no input and no hope of upgrading it easily either.
Somehow I don't see this phone available for free after rebate anytime but I'll still look forward to the release. Now if I could use iTunes with Sony Walkmans... :)
