I am in SHOCK!!! Â I’m not joking, this amazes me. Â The first phone that was going to push the limits of what Android could be. Â The hardware sounded like it could easily have lounged at the top of the food chain but Sony Ericsson decided to launch it with a very outdated version of Android. Â Eventually they updated the X10 to Android 2.1 Eclair.
That was the end of the story, no updates coming after 2.1. Â While we were at the Consumer Electronics Show we sat down with some of Sony Ericsson’s people and they told us of their plan to become the number one manufacturer of Android devices in the United States. Â We were also told that Sony Ericsson never anticipated the level of interest in having updates pushed out to their devices.
If they do actually update the X10 to 2.3 Gingerbread I might begin to believe that Sony Ericsson has a chance to meet their lofty sales goals. Â I would personally love to see timely updates to their upcoming devices. Â As a consumer I give a company only 1 second chance. Â Some of the other manufacturers were given that opportunity to prove that they were capable of adjusting their strategies in order to meet the demands of their customers – only to let many of us down yet again.
Sony, this is your chance, don’t mess it up. Â I want to trust you.
