A Sony Ericsson acabou de lançar o LiveView, um novo acessório de hardware para celulares com Android 2.x. Ele é uma minitela de 1,3 polegadas com Bluetooth que pode ser usada como controle remoto do seu celular, e pode ser usada como relógio.

O LiveView se conecta a seu celular com Android via um app. Uma vez conectado, ele pode ser usado para exibir textos, ligações, controlar música, e ver tweets, Facebook, feeds RSS e mais. Vale lembrar que ele não é touchscreen. Pessoalmente, eu duvido que iria pagar por algo assim – pra que usar uma versão menor e menos útil do meu celular quando ele está próximo de mim?

Mas! Se você quer comprar um relógio de pulso digital (ou se você deseja um daqueles relógios com iPod Nano), aí eu entendo a lógica. É um relógio inteligente que acompanha um celular inteligente. Ele funciona assim:

O LiveView tem dimensões 3,5 x 3,5 x 1,1cm e a bateria dura 4 dias, segundo a Sony Ericsson. Ele deve ser lançado no próximo trimestre, com preço ainda a ser determinado. [Sony Ericsson LiveView]

London, September 28th 2010 – Today sees the announcement of the Sony Ericsson LiveView™. This innovative accessory is another step in Sony Ericsson’s commitment to help consumers get the very best mobile phone experience through the open Android platform. The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ is part of the Sony Ericsson Extras portfolio – a division which offers a total product experience and enhanced mobile possibilities.

The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ uses Bluetooth™ connectivity to wirelessly pair up to a compatible handset and allows consumers to control the phone without taking it out of their pocket or handbag. Read text messages, see incoming calls and keep up to date with the latest news on Facebook™ and Twitter™.

The Sony Ericsson LiveView™ allows the user to control Sony Ericsson music features of the handset from the micro display, selecting tracks and controlling volume. The product also serves as a calendar reminder, displaying calendar events and other phone applications.

Whether on the go, in a meeting or out for dinner, the convenient Sony Ericsson LiveView™ can be clipped anywhere. Attached in a watch strap, on a keychain to a laptop, the micro display allows the user to incorporate the product into their lifestyle and always stay connected.

We believe in openness and offering consumers a wide range of applications to choose from. We will continue to develop accessories to ensure we play a major and groundbreaking role in the market and design innovative and exciting accessories for all platforms, including Android."
