Quarterly profits for Sony Ericsson after almost two years

Quarterly profits for Sony Ericsson after almost two years

Since the second quarter of 2008 Sony Ericsson had not reported profits in its interim accounts, which is that we speak of 21 million euros for the first quarter of 2010. I do not know that they face will have been some analysts who predicted a loss in the joint venture 128 million.

The funny thing is that they put on the market 10.5 million units, far fewer terminals than in the previous quarter (14.6 M), and in the same period last year (14.5 M), however the average price of each phone has risen to 134 euros, 120 euros in periods above. Ambitions for greater range terminals seems to be working well.

As we spoke, the launch of high-end terminals such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, or have a lot to Lively see in these figures. The choice of Android for its new Xperia think that also has a lot to do with the results.

Taking into account the emergence of new Walkman as Zylo and Spiro, the new version of Lively with QWERTY keyboard, Aspen Windows Mobile 6.5.3, or the various versions of the Xperia X10 with Android, the future outlook looks good for a company that was releasing the train from leading manufacturers.

Nokia, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba, are working in a high-definition output on mobile phones

Nokia, Samsung, Sony and Toshiba, are working in a high-definition output on mobile phones

A new consortium of most major companies in the world of electronics, such as Nokia, Samsung, Sony, Toshiba and Silicon Image are working on a standard for connecting mobile phones or other portable devices to high definition screens.

The idea presented by the consortium MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link) is a single cable for audio and video, with little pins and small size not to compromise the concept of portability, and capable of transferring video at 1080 lines in progressive format.

Another feature of the standard is that the portable device that serve as a source, take the current receiver through the cable (like USB). For instance, a mobile phone can play a movie on a TV screen regardless of battery you have.

Also take into account the protection of digital content through the implementation of HDCP compliant, according to the source of the news, on the first physical design developed by Silicon Image, the connector is compatible with the USB standard, making it easier to produce than a mini HDMI.
