X1 Speed Improvements, XPERIA Line could Run Other OSes

[Reggie]

I wasn't lucky enough to get invited to Mobius this year but my good friend Judie of Gear Diary is at Seattle and has just put up her Mobius Day 1 report. Yup, they have been treated with a demo of the XPERIA X1. Check out what she has to say:He gave us demos of the interface and most of the issues we had seen with lagging screens (mainly from Mobile World Congress reports) seem to have been resolved. They said it at the time, that this was not a finished device and that it was a work in progress, so it is great to see that progress is indeed being made.We tried to pin him down on a date for the release, but second half of the year was as specific as he would get. We did find out that the name XPERIA does not specifically mean Windows Mobile devices, it could be other mobile OSes; but all Windows Mobile Sony Ericsson products will be XPERIAs.

Let's have a list of potential platforms for the XPERIA-line:

Android (Interesting for low-cost XPERIA))
Symbian (HELL NO)
Qualcomm Brew (Qualcomm proc, Qualcomm OS?)
