(UPDATED) Sony Ericsson announces new generation of Xperia Mini and Mini Pro smartphones -- Engadget

With all the bad press going around Sony's PlayStation Network security problems, I think we should re-direct our attention to one rare bright spot among Sony's products/services -- its 2011 Android smartphones. It's the only major Android smartphone maker that is capable of launching all its new headset in Android 2.3. Given how bad their first Android attempt was, I think Sony Ericsson deserves a lot of credits for their improvement. HTC, Samsung and Motorola, LISTEN, you guys were the market leader when it comes to Android smartphone, but it's unforgivable for you all to launch any Froyo phones today, almost 6 months after Gingerbread was released. The Thunderbolt, the Droid Incredible 2, and the Droid Charge should all be a Gingerbread phone when they are launched. Well, at least Motorola seems to be listening and hopefully, when the Bionic comes out, it's running Gingerbread. UPDATE: Yes, I didn't mention any examples from Motorola. That's not because they don't have any new non-Gingerbread phone launch. Quite the contrary, they dare to release a Eclair (Android 2.1) phone TODAY. I am not even going to name it here -- that would be free promotion for them. It's the new Sprint iDEN phone running Eclair, if you are curious.
