Remember the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1? Released late September 2008, the first Sony Ericsson model to be powered by Windows Mobile was known for its panels UI which actually have been a bit ahead of its time. Fast forward to this year's CES show in Las Vegas, and the Xperia line has certainly undergone some big changes since the X1. The panels are gone and so is Windows Mobile, replaced by Android.
There will be more Xperia life for Sony after the Xperia S as the company has filed trademark applications with the USTO and OHIM for the U.S. and Europe respectively. The name that Sony is requesting protection for is the Xperia Sola. What kind of device Sony has in mind is unknown, although it most likely will be an Android smartphone. Of course, as soon as we have more information about the Sony Xperia Sola, we will pass it on to you. In the meantime, things have really changed in the 3 1/2 short years between the Sony Ericsson Xperia 1 and the Sony Ericsson Xperia S.
