Sony Ericsson is currently considering on Android at the moment, and they are planning to stay with Android by dropping Symbian. Sony Ericsson spokesperson Aldo Liguori told Businessweek that “We have no plans for the time being to develop any new products to the Symbian Foundation standard or operating system”. SE Chief Creation Officer, Rikko Sakaguchi said that “Company had made a significant shift to support Android”. Well, Sony is saying good bye to Symbian, but what about Windows Mobile? Both Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 and X2 comes with WinMo, and SE CEO said that they got a big surprise for us, and they will reveal it soon. So may be SE is cooking a WP7 device, because SE CTO is saying that they still have Windows Mobile in their roadmap. So may be the big surprise is a WP7 phone, I can smell a Xperia X7? Can you?

Currently the Android paid apps are available in the following countries, and folks in other parts of the world who are using Android are missing it too much, because some of the paid apps are very awesome. Now, Google has announced that they will bring the paid apps to more countries. They didn’t mention about any country, but may be they will bring it to major countries like Canada, India, Australia etc. Have a look on what Google said:

Hello,

We’re writing to inform you about some changes to Android Market that require your attention.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be adding paid apps support for additional countries.  If you have selected to publish your paid apps to all locations and intend to support all new locations as we expand the number of supported countries for paid apps, you don't have to do anything.  If you have selected to publish your paid apps to all locations but intend to only target the currently supported 14 countries, please update your location selections to target these specific countries.

Please look for follow-up emails when we introduce paid apps support for specific additional countries in the coming weeks.  At that time, you'll have the option to target these specific countries.

Thanks, and we look forward to continue working with you on Android
Market.

Sincerely,
The Android Market Team

So folks lets hope it’s coming to the country where you live. What do you say? What country deserve paid apps? Tell us !

So if you are planning to get the G2, then do watch it after the break, because may be you could find something you are actually looking for.

Shazam is one of the most popular applications on Android, and if you are a music listener, then this app is must for you. The main feature of Shazam is that if you are looking for any song but you don’t remember the name of it, you can simply speak the name and artist of a song or piece of music, and you will get the song in few seconds. LG is showing some interest in Shazam, and they are planning to pre-load Shazam in all future Android phones, and the first one to come with Shazam will be the Optimus GT540. Well, there’s no big deal in it, because you are getting the free version. It would be good if LG pre-load the premium version of Shazam.

It’s not hidden anymore that AT&T is launching the Motorola Flipout, but only thing which is unknown is the release date. AT&T didn’t tell us about the release date of the Motorola Flipout, but look what we have got here. As you can see in the image above, you can see a Motorola Flipout AT&T packaging which is shown up on eBay, and the guy is selling it for $388.88. Sure, this is not a contract price, and I am sure that the contract price for Motorola Flipout will be around $100-$150, I hope AT&T will bring it out in few weeks. So guys check it out on eBay.

Update: It’s removed from eBay, but still we have an idea that how much the Flipout will cost without contract, and it’s confirmed that it’s coming to AT&T soon.

If you are on Alltel Wireless and looking for some good Android powered handset, then you might look at the Motorola Milestone. Alltel Wireless is now carrying the Motorola Milestone according to Droid Life and you can get it from your local Alltel store. Milestone is a GSM version of Motorola Droid. We all know that Motorola Milestone is a good handset, and it’s quite old, but if you are looking for a good, reliable, and a budget Android phone, then Milestone is a great choice for you. If you don’t like the Milestone, you better check out some Motorola Kings over at Verizon.

If you don’t know about Alltel Wireless, then let me tell you that Verizon acquired Alltel Wireless in January 2009 for 28 Billion, but it’s still active in 22 markets, so if you are in one of them, then you can get it. Otherwise you got Verizon on the other hand.

I saw some of the people dropped the T-Mobile G2, because they think that the 800 MHz processor in it is just a one slow processor. As I said before that the processor in G2 is a next generation processor, and it’s better than the 1 GHz processor in Nexus One, and now I have a proof for it. After the break, you will see T-Mobile G2 running Quadrant, and the benchmark result is proving that G2 is better than Nexus One. G2 benchmark score is 1499, which is higher than Nexus One which is running on Android 2.2. Have a look on the video:

So folks, what do you think? Are you getting the G2?

LG is not only considering on Androids, but they are also working on WP7 powered phones. Yesterday, we saw a LG WP7 phone head to head with the Apple iPhone 4. LG is also working on another WP7 device, which is known as LG E900 a.k.a LG Optimus 7 (image above). A site name Mobilnania got their hands on the LG E900, and they made a long 20 minutes video of it. Well, the guy is speaking in Czech, so you can only understand it if you know the language. But you can still watch the video, because you can see the E900 in action, and yea it’s in all languages. So folks watch the video after the break, and check out the images of the phone by following this link.

We already know that Samsung is working on 2 Windows Phone 7 powered phones (may be their working on other WP7 phones too), and they are known as the Samsung Cetus SGH-i916 and Samsung GT-i8700. You people may have seen the GT-i8700 a few days ago, and you may also have heard about the Cetus which is coming to AT&T. Our friends our at Engadget got their hands on a shot in which you can see the Samsung Cetus is head to head with the Apple iPhone 4 in the image above. There’s a little confusion, the device model number is SGH-i916, which is a little different from Cetus model number we saw, but the design of the both devices are the same. May be the SGH-i916 is bound for Canada, and SGH-i917 is for USA, this might be true. So if  the SGH-i916 is the Canadian version, may be you will see it on Rogers, Bell, or Telus in next few months. May be this is Canada’s first WP7 device, so are you excited our Canadian fellows?
