While updating the Android phones to Froyo (2.2) version was disputed by the pace assumed most terminals get to the day, as well as how much of the park phone you with the system Google they were left out of the update. With the next step, Gingerbread, the Swedish-Japanese firm Sony Ericsson has been one of the most affected, given the technical profile of its mobiles last year.
However, one of those battles will get hold of its version of Android 2.3, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, and that despite the fact that it will not have all the most advanced editing functions of the green robot platform. It will be from next August when the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 begins to receive Gingerbread, which has already been shown in a previous version that we can see on video after the following link.
In general, Android 2.3 Gingerbread will export some of its interesting functions to the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, although there will not be all those that can be found in the rest of the mobile phones compatible with this version. For example, the Sony Ericsson phone will be able to install applications directly on the external memory card, one of Gingerbread's new options; however, it will lack DLNA support (to participate in the wireless multimedia network that works over the local Wi-Fi to which we connect).
On the other hand, once we update the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 to the latest version of Google's system, we will make the phone work as a wireless modem, incorporating the tethering function. By contrast, this device will not be compatible with the multi-touch commands that we could use for the interface and some applications developed for Gingerbread on other mobiles .
In any case, it seems that Android 2.3 will be the last version of the system that the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 can see. The proliferation of mobile phones with dual-core processors, as well as the imminent appearance of quad-core (Texas Instruments, NVIDIA and Samsung, among others, already working on chips based on four cores) suggests that terminals like the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, one of the first with a single-core GHz processor, will be stuck in Gingerbread.
