Sony Ericsson launches Aino touchscreen phone with PlayStation 3 connectivity




Ericsson took the wraps off its newest touchscreen device, the Aino. Sporting a 3-inch touchscreen display and whopping 8 megapixel autofocus camera, the Aino looks like one of the most media centric phones ever announced.

The bundled charging stand also allows the Aino to automatically connect to a PlayStation 3 gaming system to synchronize media. The Aino is laden with connectivity, including quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) support and what appears to be tri-band UMTS (850/1900/2100MHz) with HSPA for high-speed data. WiFi is also on board, both for high-speed internet connections and local media synchronization over DLNA.

The Sony Ericsson Aino measures in at 104mm x 50mm x 15.5mm (4.1in x 2in x .6in) and weighs 134g (4.7oz). The Aino is listed as having a microSD card slot, making it one of the first Sony Ericsson cell phones to not use Sony's proprietary Memory Stick Micro format. Availability is planned for Q4 2009, with your choice of a Obsidian Black or Luminous White color scheme.
