" Sony Ericsson have also took the opportunity to point out some updates for the X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro. They tell us that all three devices will received the Android 2.1 upgrade "in Q3 2010", although their blog seems to state "Q4". But wait, the big news for X10 owners is that...
"Xperia™ X10’s position will also be further strengthened through the addition of HD video recording as part of the same Q3 upgrade. A further upgrade to the Xperia™ X10 in Q4 will make it possible to connect and display wirelessly content on your television and enhance the Timescape™ and Mediascape applications."
Aha ! Great news for X10 owners! "
Zzzzzzzzz ..... this is the 3rd Thread about this ^^ already known since a week.
I think the next buildnumber to X10i is "2.0.1.A.0.47"
Sony Ericsson has started slowly and roll a new update for X8, namely 2.1
The buildnumber are 2.0.1.A.0.47, and registered d 17th November on http://www.ptcrb.com..
Same day, it has been registered for X10 (2.0.1.A.0.47)..
So I guess it's the next update to X10 and believe it will soon be here in December..
Know nothing with safe, only a theory

Sony Ericsson and ANT+ equals fitness with Xperia™ arc
Marcus Hansson explains more about ANT+.
At Sony Ericsson we are very pleased to announce that we will be the first mobile handset manufacturer to have integrated support for ANT+ technology. This means that you will be able to use your Sony Ericsson phone with a large number of commercial health and fitness products. For example, you can use your phone with a heart rate monitor, a pedometer, or both, when you are out running.
There are number of different ANT+ enabled sensors and devices available in the market today. In addition, there are a large number of ANT+ supported apps to collect, analyze, compare and share your data in various ways. These devices and apps can turn your Sony Ericsson handset into a main hub for fitness and health activities, as well as for communication and entertainment.
ANT+ is a seamless and reliable digital wireless communication standard with excellent power efficiency. It facilitates the collection, automatic transfer and tracking of sensor data for monitoring information. Today more and more companies are joining the ANT+ Alliance, which is a partner alliance striving for the growth of the ANT+ ecosystem. This ensures compatibility with other leading suppliers all throughout the ecosystem. With the release of Xperia™ arc, Sony Ericsson is the first handset manufacturer to have integrated support for ANT+. The ANT+ support will also be introduced in Sony Ericsson Xperia™ X8, Xperia™ X10 mini, and Xperia™ X10 mini pro through software upgrades in Q1 2011. Several future Sony Ericsson Android™ devices will also support ANT+ technology.
Stay tuned to the Sony Ericsson Developer blog and to Sony Ericsson’s Developer World for more information. You can also read more on the ANT+ web site.

As said in the video, "… and X8 will have this enabled in the forthcoming software upgrade in Q1 2011"
Could this be part of an Android upgrade? Or do they by "software upgrade" refer to apps? Either way, it's a cool feature.
We need 2.3 for that so we will get android update.
I think because this writing in SE blog.
Yeeeee they are chance that we will get 2.3 but when?
Who cares .. it's completely useless and sony will not deliver froyo on their phones.
Anyone still owning xperia, google "ZTE Blade" :
1. unlocked bootloader
2. froyo and custom roms
3. amoled screen
4. costs $100
Oh, and the best one :
5. NOT MADE BY Erics****!
no froyo for Xperia!

Do you mean that Ant+ requires Android 2.3 to run? Because of Xperia ARC, which uses 2.3 to run Ant+?

Lolz. We don't even have ZTE Blade where I live.
Hopefully this "software upgrade" will have to include an Android update, too.
Btw, Xperia users, join this community on Facebook:
"Petition: Android 2.2 (Froyo) for Sony Ericsson Xperia series"
I would like to highlight that all the news regarding the discontinuance of Froyo (Android 2.2) is related to the X10 FAMILY and X10 HANDSETS.
X8 does not belong to this family or these handsets, does it? Furthermore, the upcoming ANT+ feature will come to X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 - SE again, specifically, omitted the X10! The ANT+ feature will become available through a "software upgrade"!
They are either being unclear about the way they announce things or they are being VERY specific.

The x8 DOES belong to the x10 family, its seen as the mid size/range x10... if you bothered to read the first line from the article linked above about an official announcement from SE UK, you'd see yourself...
Sony Ericsson UK have officially confirmed with us this morning that the Xperia X10 family (including the X8) will not see an Android firmware revision above 2.1)

They'll do an update to 2.1 to make this ANT+ feature work, they wouldn't announce no further updates past 2.1, but secretly be developing 2.2 etc for the x10 family of handsets, its bad for business if they do...
We wont b getting 2.2 or 2.3 whatsoever, juz an update in the future n we will still on 2.1..
Accept the truth my frens, we will stuck on 2.1 forever.. Thts it, no more SE phones for me..
Yeah, SE confirm no more update new FW for X10 family and no hope for X8, epic fail....
we arent stuck. sometime someone will crack ****ed se loader and we will get froyo..
p.s. i think there wont be gingerbread coz it will run too slow.. recomended hardware is 1GHz cpu..

I haven't seen/been able to dig up any information directly from Sony Ericsson that mentions the X8. It only seems to be mentioned in the article you refer to.
Regardless of that … If the X8 is considered part of the X10 family then we are truly screwed.
However, I am curious regarding the Ant+ feature. Why did they omit the X10 specifically in their announcement? I find it odd that the X10 - supposedly - doesn't support the hardware for Ant+ but the X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 does.

HTC WILDFIRE will be getting gingerbread and it has a 600 mhz processor!
This isnt fer anymore
SE don't want to update their current android phones because of marketing.
people will have to buy xperia arc to get android 2.3. good for their bussiness. this is how it's work.
Here what i think.
Many people has buyed many xperia smartphones but the xperia arc isnt like other xperia phones because they are cheap but xperia arc isnt.
What happen to us that will scare customers to so maybe they give update.
MAYBE!
Can anyone port the 3d sweep panorama to Xperia play?
I wish...

Yes it would be kind... but it seems no one is interrested in.
It would take having the kernel sources, new library files, and camera.apk. Which Sony Ericsson phone already has it?
Would be cool

Our Camera is **** so I doubt even if we had the 3D Sweep it would not look any good anyway.
Strange that it is listed on SE site as a feature, could be a mistake though.

Global roll out of new software
In late September we announced the rollout of Android 2.3.4 in the Nordic Countries. Today, we’re happy to share the news that the upgrade is starting to roll out all over the rest of the world. Since the Nordic release we have made some additional changes which means that this update is actually new also for the Nordic consumers.
The phones that will get the software update are: Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini, Xperia™ mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ ray, Xperia™ active, Xperia™ neo V, Xperia™ arc S and the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™. The update will be available for all unlocked phones and most operator variants but there will be local deviations. There are also some deviations on feature upgrade depending on phone model. Google Talk video chat will only be available for phones with front facing camera. Xperia™ PLAY will not get 3D panorama sweep but it will get HD video recording and the other goodies below.
The highlights of the update are:
Google Talk with Video Chat for smartphones with front-facing cameras
Updated Facebook inside Xperia™ functionality for enhanced like, share and discover abilities. We have talked about Facebook inside Xperia™ on previous posts.
Xperia™ smartphones introducing world’s first 3D Sweep Panorama functionality powered by Sony.
16x video zoom
The software upgrade will enable consumers to turn their Xperia™ smartphone into a mini-mobile PC by connecting USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard or game controller) to Sony Ericsson LiveDock™ multimedia station. Connect the smartphone to a TV via HDMI to get a big screen experience.
Gesture input – text input by swiping the finger from one letter to the next
WiFi DLNA
Screen capture – allows the user to share a screen grab from anywhere in the phone.
It’s quite a lot to grasp all at once. That’s why we are making next week an Update Marathon, going through one of the features more in depth every day. Stay tuned Meanwhile, you can check out the video from the guys at Developer World.
We’ll try to keep you continuously updated on the kit release. For a complete list of kits released up until now, please check comments below.
I would just like the panorama app to actually work it sucks that my old x10 can do it and that it works on other phones except this thing I hold in my hand kinda pathetic for a brand new phone IMO

Xperia Arc/S, Neo, Active, Mini/Pro with GB 2.3.4 has it. Just the Play not :/ Is Sony trolling us? They told they would maximaly support the Play but no 3D Sweep atrough it has a good camera. (Yea "just 5Mpx" but sometimes a lower res. is better)

Now what Nextron? I'm waiting for your answer? do you have manual experience on 3d sweep? or just hiding by a over react post?
Seriously, who's in the right mind that prolly test the app w/in 30 secs?
Props to thatsup, for being epic on the discussion..
In August we announced that a new software version will be available for all 2011 Xperia™ models during October. I’m happy to share the information that the roll out has already started in the Nordic countries for Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ neo , Xperia™ ray and Xperia™ PLAY.
The roll out for the rest of the world is planned to start late October going into early November. The update will be available for all unlocked phones and most operator variants but there will be local deviations. As soon as the roll out starts globally, we will inform you here on the blog. We’ll try to also keep you continuously updated on the kit release. For a complete list of kits released up until now, please check comments below.
Some of the features you will get from this update are:

This makes no sense. Released to Nordic in September but not for the rest of the world until the end of October / beginning of November, a delay of between 6 and 8 weeks.
When this update emerged I thought that Sony Ericsson had finally sorted out their ability to roll out firmware upgrades. Looks like I was completely wrong and that their cack handed mismanagement continues.
When are Sony Ericsson going to get a grip and manage to roll out a firmware upgrade to everyone at the same time. Funny how a company with far less experience in the mobile sector has managed to do this flawlessly for years.
Eeeeh, Is this guy/girl for real?
- Google Talk with Video Chat for smartphones with front-facing cameras.
- The software upgrade will enable consumers to turn their Xperia™ smartphone into a mini-mobile PC by connecting USB peripherals (mouse, keyboard or game controller) to Sony Ericsson LiveDock™ multimedia station
Never mind being a bit late, we already had 2.3.4 on XDA since long, and the front facing camera stuff/thing is also funny.
And where and at what shop is the LiveDock(TM) mulitmedia station available today?

I would say that it does make sense to release it in the Nordic countries first... They are limiting possible bugs to five countries (Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway and Iceland) so they have a chance to fix them before a global release... I live in Denmark, and I don't mind being a test subject for future updates...

And who has told you that the rest will get it in 6 to 8 weeks. It might be that it also would released earlier in other countries.
But thanks for letting us try to be the first for the first time.
