Sony Ericsson LiveView Display Mirrors The Activities Of Your Mobile Phone
Sony Ericsson today announced LiveView, an accessory that wirelessly pairs up to a handset and allows users to control their Android phone without taking it out of their pocket or handbag.
The Sony Ericsson LiveView is a micro display device that mirrors the phone. The device uses Bluetooth connectivity to wirelessly connect to a compatible handset and allows users to control the phone without taking it out of their pocket.
The device allows the user to control the Sony Ericsson music features of the handset from the micro display, selecting tracks and controlling volume. The product also serves as a calendar reminder, displaying calendar events and other phone applications.
Sony Ericsson has developed the Sony Ericsson LiveWare Manager application. It will scan Android Market for Sony Ericsson LiveView enabled applications and present them to the user. The Sony Ericsson LiveWare manager will be available from Android Market, or come preinstalled in phone bundles.
The Sony Ericsson LiveView is also available in one of the Sony Ericsson Experience Packs. An 'Experience Pack' is a package of several related components including mobile phone applications, accessories, services and much more. The first "Sony Ericsson Experience Pack" will be available in selected markets in Q4.
