Pocket-lint reports that the communications device company has signed a deal with California-based GestureTek to incorporate the software into its phones in September.

The study cites efforts by the LiMo Foundation, Google's marketing of its Android OS, as well as Nokia's Maemo and Trolltech purchases as some of the reasons the open-source OS system will grow.

The phone is Sony-Ericsson's first to run on Windows Mobile, and features an iPhone-challenging three-inch, 800x480 touchscreen with a unique panel-based interface. The X1 also features 3G broadband as well as a QWERTY keyboard, a 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera, and expandable memory via microSD.

The new version will allow some Sony-Ericsson and Motorola phones to stream and remotely control Slingbox devices at home whenever the device is connected to either a 3G or Wi-Fi network. The initial lineup will include the P1i (pictured) and P990i smartphones, the M600i, a... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/27/slingplayer.mobile.for.uiq/ Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/21/itc.patent.dispute/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/sonybdp-s500.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A patent infringement claim may lead to blocks against importing both Blu-ray technology as well as cellphones and other storage, the US International Trade Commission said today. The potential impasse has its roots in a complaint by patent holder and Columbia University emeritus professor Gertrude Rothschild, who claims that bringing numerous foreign-made devices with short-wave lasers and LEDs ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/21/itc.patent.dispute/ Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/19/sony.ericsson.profit.drop/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/sony-ericssonxperiax1-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Sony-Ericsson will see lower profits than expected in its next quarter due to a drop in sales of mid- and high-end phones, the company has revealed today. The cellphone partnership now expects to sell a comparatively modest 22 million phones between January and March and should see reduced income as well as a lower average phone price of ä120 ($188), showing an emphasis on low-cost phones.

Electronista has tested the phone and in its full K850i review learns whether the phone lives up to the ideal or falls victim to i... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/17/k850i.review/ Mon, 17 Mar 2008 20:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/17/moto.drops.two.executives/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/motoz6w.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Motorola has quietly dropped two of its key executives, the company revealed today in a statement to the Wall Street Journal.

Already available for a month through Rogers in Canada, the K850 will come as the US-friendly K850a but should support the same tri-band 3G Internet access and quad-band GSM as its northern counterpart, giving it full-speed data on AT&T's network.
