Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones

The new Sony Ericsson Aino mobile phone can interact with the Sony Playstation3, allowing users to control the PS3 and to access and stream the console’s multimedia content via the phone. The facility is established via Remote Play over a 3G or internet connection.

The phone can be used to access the console’s full range of media content – even PlayTV, including the ability to watch, pause and record live TV via the handset.

The Aino also makes it easy to transfer media files between the phone and a computer. With the handset docked in the supplied desktop charging stand, Media Home offers synchronisation of media files over a Wi-Fi connection, whilst Media Go provides drag and drop transfer with automatic conversion of music and film file formats.

The Sony Ericsson Aino’s other main features include a 3″ touchscreen (16 million colours), an 8 megapixel camera, assisted GPS and DLNA support (for connecting with compatible TVs and other devices via Wi-Fi).

The phone’s music player features Sony’s Clear Stereo and Clear Bass enhancement technologies, complemented by a premium headset. Owners of the phone can also gain unlimited access to download and watch up to 60 films from Sony Ericsson’s PlayNow arena service.

Launched in the UK in October, the Sony Ericsson Aino is available on the Orange mobile phone network. For Aino mobile phone offers and to compare prices, see sponsors and links (right).
