Sony finally waves goodbye to Ericsson

Ready for brave new mobile phone worldMobile phones News By John McCann 2 hours ago | Tell us what you think [ 0 comments ]

Tweet All aboard the SS Sony

Sony's takeover of Sony Ericsson has been officially completed, with the firm buying out Ericsson's 50% stake in the mobile device company.

The £871 million deal was announced in October last year and sees Sony take full control of the firm which it has renamed Sony Mobile Communications.

This means Sony will now produce handsets bearing only its name, and we've already seen the first of these in the form of the Xperia S.

Plenty more where that came from

Several more Sony branded mobiles are expected to launch at MWC 2012 in Barcelona with the likes of the Xperia U, Xperia P and Tapioca all in with a chance of a possible appearance.

The aim of Sony Mobile Communications is to "integrate the mobile phone business as a vital element of its electronics business, with the aim of accelerating convergence between Sony's line-up of network-enabled consumer electronics products, including smartphones, tablets, TVs and PCs".

There's also the possibility that Sony will develop a Vita OS for its mobiles and tablets – giving them a more gaming-centric focus.

BBC finally unveils iPlayer for iPhone app

The BBC has finally released an official iPlayer app for iPhone – bringing streaming over 3G and WiFi and AirPlay compatibility with it.

Although the BBC has had an iPad and Android app available for some time, it's almost a surprise that the iPhone has only just got a version for itself.

The iPlayer for iPhone app – compatible with iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S, brings a channel switcher allowing you to flick between TV and radio channels – and the AirPlay compatibility means you can stream to your Apple TV and send programmes to your TV.

In touch (ahahah)

"The BBC iPlayer app for the iPhone and iPod touch puts all of the BBC's national television channels and radio networks in your pocket. You can now watch live television channels and listen to live radio stations wherever you are," blogged the BBC's David Madden.

"The app is available to download in the Apple App Store now and is compatible with iPod touch or iPhone 3GS and above, running iOS4.3 and above."

iPad update

Also significant is the arrival of 3G streaming in the new iPhone update and also, for the first time, the iPad app which has been updated to incorporate both 3G streaming and AirPlay support.

Interestingly, the mobile web version of the BBC iPlayer will also support 3G streaming for the more modern devices.

"We have worked closely with the network operators to introduce 3G streaming and create a great mobile experience so you can watch your favourite TV programme wherever you are or listen to the radio when you are out and about," added Madden.

"3G streaming is enabled in the iPhone and iPad apps and will shortly be coming to the mobile web version of BBC iPlayer for allsupported devices."

Facebook for iPad finally launched

The long-awaited Facebook for iPad app has finally been unleashed, the social networking giant has revealed.

The free app, which has been in the works for well over a year and was revealed earlier this summer is finally ready to go, according to Facebook.

Facebook for iPad now arrives boasting a slick, new iPad-centric user experience with tabbed navigation, allowing users to slide between profiles and menus, much like the Twitter iPad app.

Photo albums have also been overhauled, with hi-res, screen-filling shots that Facebook says are "easy to flick through, just like a real photo album."

Multi-touch gestures also allow users to zoom in on photos, maps and other content.

Gaming on the go

Other new features include gaming on the go and simpler, drop-down messaging functionality. Facebook says the changes are also being reflected in the company's iPhone app.

"Many of you have been asking about Facebook for iPad," said Facebook engineer Leon Dubinsky.

"Today, it's finally here. With the iPad app, you get the full Facebook experience, right at your fingertips. It's a fun, colorful way to keep up with friends, share photos, chat and more."

"Facebook on the iPad feels fun," he added.

"Photos really shine on the iPad. They're bigger and easy to flip through, like a real photo album. It's like having a slideshow with all your friends and memories, wherever you go."

No sign just yet

Facebook for iPad has been beset by delays with CTO Brett Taylor explaining in an interview with the New York Times that "it just wasn't ready yet."

Last month the app's chief developer revealed that he had quit Facebook for Google as a result of Facebook's unwillingness to launch the iPad app that he said had been complete for months.

To add a little more drama, the app has not yet appeared in the App Store. Presumably it takes a while to appear in Apple's listings. We'll let you know when it lands.

UPDATE: Facebook for iPad has landed on the App Store for your downloading pleasure
