If you’re a serious gamer, you’ve probably been feeling slightly left out all these years without a phone that properly “clicked” with what you love the most. Now all that is about to change. The latest Sony Ericsson Aino has got everything you’ve been missing in a phone.
The Aino is a slider phone with a large three inch touch enabled display screen with 16 million colours. Running a modified version of Sony Ericsson’s phone OS, do not dare to mistaken the Aino with the likes of business orientated smartphones as it is exactly the opposite.
Running a feature familiar to PSP owners known as Remote play. The Aino has been equipped with the privelge to allow its user to connect to his / her PS3 from anywhere around the globe. With the Aino, all the content on your PS3 is at your fingertips.
Apart from the PS3 Remote feature, the Aino isn’t bad on specs neither. An eight megapixel camera with Sony Ericsson’s classically luxurious features such as flash, touch focus, smile and face detection. Sound output is just as good with Clear Bass and Clear Stereo technologies from Sony.
Aino will also boast A2DP Bluetooth, stereo speakers, FM radio, GPS, geo-tagging, WiFi and PlayTV option but the problem with multimedia orientated phones we’ve reviewed so far has been the lack of applications thus making them highly compromised when comparing to the likes of the iPhone and Android phones. In fact, the Aino comes with onboard Javascript based applications giving you YouTube, Facebook and Walkmate.
Though we do not know just yet which providers will be bring the Aino to us in the UK. Customers from Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Great Britain will be able to use the PlayTV option, which means playing, pausing and recording TV using the Aino - absolutely brilliant!
Sony Ericsson has certainly been thoughtful with their new Aino. With shipping to begin by the end of this year in two colors, Obsidian Black and Luminous White, we expect it to be one of the most prestiged phones to arrive before 2010.
