finally..., the move that i have waiting from a long time has just happened!!!
all this means faster development of sony phones due to integration into sony headquarters itself which could result into fulfilling kaz hirai's dream who wanted to cut mobile development time into half of the current one. And this will most probably help sony a lot to kick samsung and apple's a$$............
no more delays that earlier occured "bcoz mobile team in sweden couldn't get the sensors from japenese sony in time" or "they couldn't talk face to face to their team in japan for getting some kind of approval" or any other hindrances that have been part of sony mobile due to having separate HQ's

no matter what others say... but due to those "Lund Sony Mobile teams" sony phones were always damn late to the market resulting in other companies eating up the sony market.
And moreover most of the people have been buying their phones for the sony brand name on them..., not sweden teams or anything else!!!

Sony Ericsson Japanese offices were in this building right besides Sony HQ's in minato:

Xperia X10, arc, acro, ray, acro HD were largely designed here. So maybe that's where the Sony Mobile HQ is going to be now.

I think this will be a great move for Sony. Sony has been making some great Android phones lately and their updates to their older phones to Android 4.0 ICS have been timely. If only Sprint would get a Sony Android device. I would buy it in a heartbeat.
