![]() We believe in openness and offering consumers a wide range of applications to choose from. Mikael Henriksson, Head of creation and offering planning at Sony Ericsson Extras, said: "It is our ambition to be THE Communication Entertainment brand and this includes being the most open mobile phone brand on the market. Attached in a watch strap, on a keychain to a laptop, the micro display allows the user to incorporate the product into their lifestyle and always stay connected. Whether on the go, in a meeting or out for dinner, the convenient Sony Ericsson LiveView™ can be clipped anywhere. The product also serves as a calendar reminder, displaying calendar events and other phone applications. The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ allows the user to control Sony Ericsson music features of the handset from the micro display, selecting tracks and controlling volume. Read text messages, see incoming calls and keep up to date with the latest news on Facebook™ and Twitter™. The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ uses Bluetooth™ connectivity to wirelessly pair up to a compatible handset and allows consumers to control the phone without taking it out of their pocket or handbag. The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ is part of the Sony Ericsson Extras portfolio – a division which offers a total product experience and enhanced mobile possibilities. This innovative accessory is another step in Sony Ericsson's commitment to help consumers get the very best mobile phone experience through the open Android platform. London, September 28th 2010 – Today sees the announcement of the Sony Ericsson LiveView™. Sony Ericsson LiveView™ micro display with remote control functionality mirrors the activities of your mobile phone ![]() ![]() Press Release: The window to your world with Sony Ericsson LiveView™ Update 2: Sony Ericsson tells us that the LiveView is "compatible with most Android devices" and that the list is just a partial one. No word on whether this is just a partial list (and we suppose SE can't really be expected to test every possible device on the market) or a sign that the LiveView won't be quite as flexible as we hoped. The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro are all listed, unsurprisingly, but under " Other Brands" only the Samsung Galaxy S and HTC Desire are shown. Update: We've just sifted through SE's LiveView specs, and the compatible devices list doesn't exactly fill us with confidence. It'll drop in Q4 2010 – price tba – along with a companion app to drive the functionality. The whole thing measures 3.5 x 3.5 x 1.1 cm and Sony Ericsson reckons the battery is good for up to four days of normal use. It'll also flag up calendar entries, show the date and time, and help you locate your phone. Like the inPulse smartwatch it will also show incoming call details and a list of recent calls, and you can mute the ringer directly from the LiveView.
