Coming Soon: Sony Xperia P

Experience beauty. Distinctive design.

Xperia P stands out with its distinctive, minimalistic design.

Like all phones in the Xperia NXT series, it has a simple, strong design language. And Xperia P takes it one step further – the precision crafted, full aluminium unibody gives this Android phone a unique, durable and modern look.

A clear display, even in bright sunlight.

Lounging in the sun, enjoying a YouTube clip or your favourite movie?

The 4″ Reality Display powered by the Mobile BRAVIA® Engine also includes Sony’s unique WhiteMagic™ technology, making the colours in your favourite clips and stills look as sharp and clear as if you were inside.
WhiteMagic adds a 4th white sub-pixel – traditional LCD screens have three; red, green and blue – to the Reality Display. The result? The outstanding combination of an ultra-bright screen and great power efficiency. Power efficient because WhiteMagic automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen to surrounding light – when the light is not so strong, Xperia P uses less battery power.

Some things are just too good to miss.

Make sure you always get the right shot with yor phone’s fast capture 8 megapixel camera. Just over a second from sleep o snap, and just one second between shots.

The New Sony Xperia S

This is the first phone to bear the Sony brand, as opposed to Sony Ericsson. One interesting feature is that it can take photos in 1.5 seconds even when the phone is not awake (it has to be powered on though). It also has a 12MP camera!

The Xperia S features a 4.3-inch 720x1280 screen, 1.5GH dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and overall a pretty attractive, if somewhat plastic-y design.

I Swifter makes iPad game streaming available to all PC game companies

iSwifter found a niche for its cloud streaming service by enabling Flash games to run on the iPad. Now it is extending its platform so that a wider swatch of PC game companies can stream their games to Apple’s tablet.
This means that PC game makers will be able to take games from their older library of games and, without much effort, get them running on an iPad. As you can see from the picture above, iSwifter has been able to adapt Blizzard Entertainment’s original StarCraft game. As such, iSwifter can make it easy for game publishers to find a new source of revenue from their older games by adapting them to new platforms where users are plentiful.
“We are bridging the applications of the PC era with the devices of the mobile era,” said Rajat Gupta, chief executive of iSwifter, in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat.
Menlo Park, Calif.-based iSwifter takes advantage of the cloud, or web-connected data centers. It runs a game such as Flash-based Facebook games in the cloud. Then it streams video of the games at high speeds to a mobile device such as an iPad. The interaction over a broadband connection is fast enough so that the user doesn’t notice that the game isn’t actually stored or computed on the iPad. The service operates functionally much like Onlive’s or Gaikai’s cloud gaming services.
Since Adobe gave up on running Flash on mobile devices, it has created a big problem for developers who have a lot of content on the social networks or the web and want to move it to the iPad. But it’s hard for them to do this if it means rewriting a lot of code. iSwifter handles the conversion and makes it possible to run the exact same Flash game on an iPad.Users can download iSwifter’s browsing app and play it free for 30 minutes; after that, it costs $4.99. The games run smoothly as if they were running in a native format.
While OnLive and Gaikai are using streaming to reproduce a high-end 3D graphics experience on lesser hardware, iSwifter isn’t going that far. it is taking games with medium-quality graphics and getting them to run on new devices.
“Now we’re ready to apply this technology in a broader way,” said Peter Relan, chairman of the YouWeb incubator that spawned iSwifter in 2010. iSwifter has since spun off and become its own company with 30 employees, in an interview with VentureBeat. “We want to license it to PC makers who want their games streamed to iOS and Android mobile devices.”
Relan said that iSwifter was growing at a $10 million annual run rate. The company has already licensed its iSwifter technology to an unnamed large game publisher that plans to convert a library of PC games to run on iSwifter on the iPad. That company and a couple of other licensees are likely to launch games in the second quarter.
Over time, iSwifter will like be expanded so that it can handle multiple applications, not just games. It could do productivity apps, much like OnLive does with its Office-capable OnLive Desktop service. iSwifter has also launched its Rover browser for educational purposes. As iSwifter expands into other territory, it will compete head-on with OnLive, which has also moved into iSwifter’s market on the iPad.
“This can be expanded to bring rich interactive apps to any mobile devices,” Relan said. “It opens up a whole new world of business.”
Gupta said the company will try to recruit more licensees at this week’s Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
