The Sony Ericsson Aino really can lay claim to being called a true multimedia computer since it can connect to your PC or your PS3 and stream content from either device anywhere in the world. The new mobile phone device is now available for developers who want to test their new mobile applications on Perfecto Mobile’s Handset Cloud Service.
On a positive note he mentions that “the pre-installed apps, like Facebook, AccuWeather and Wisepilot Navigation all work smoothly, even when running multiple apps at once. Further the built in email application is not at iPhone or Blackberry level, but it is way better than anything Nokia or Samsung offer on their entertainment phones.”
Brendon would agree with Nicole Lee from CNET who claimed that the price tag of the Sony Ericsson Aino is a little steep, especially considering that the touch screen interface is limited to the media browser and that the 3.5mm headset jack is missing.
Georges Baggaley from Know Your Mobile also points out that, “it is inside the phone that one discovers the Aino’s performance as a mobile doesn’t match its ability as a multimedia device. The touch service is limited to multimedia activities only, forcing you to use the slide out keypad beneath the screen for all regular services.”
He therefore summarizes correctly when he says that, “the Aino is close to multimedia perfection. However as an actual phone the Aino slips into mediocrity especially in comparison to similarly priced rivals.”
