                Sony, 30 Oct 2011amoled or led or slcd these r the creation of sony and sams... moreeither samsung or sony invented the oled. If you want a history we need to go back to 50's french university...but that doesn't hardly matter.

                Point is that samsung is a only company at the moment that can mass manufacture oled dispays and OWNs 90% of share in oled market.

                sony ponieered oled ahead of samsung, but they dropped it, because profit/investment-wise issue. So, sony has almost nothing in oled market. they aren't even the second best...

                  i don't think it's bad, and as far as i know, sony is doing this to salvage the sony ericsson's losing market share.

                  btw, just imagine it. The technologies sony will be integrating to their devices are from their sony products. About having their own OS, they probably will be sticking to android for now,.

                          i plan to buy the latest device done by sony ericsson and use it for a long long time.. because i believe each one alone won't produce a satisfying mobile device, as much as the ones they produced together earlier.. :) anyway gdluck

                            Ericsson will be very fool if they won't start making their own phones like they did for so many years before they shook hands with Sony. I think the reason why this joint-venture was created în 2001 was because Sony is good on the multimedia part and Ericsson on the telephony part. But now with all the know-how and patent technologies from Ericsson Sony won't have problems with the telephony part.

                                Sony fanboys just don't get a fact that breaking up with Ericsson isn't a good idea.

                                Ericsson is the one who has OWNED patents and infrastructures in telecommunication industry. Not Sony.

                                Sony may make a phone that can play psp games on it, but not the phone that actually makes a call.

                                        Around 80% from total 9.5 million devices shipped were smartphones or equals to 7.6 million units, while at the same period moto can only booked 4.8 million unit smartphones

                                        Google takes motorola mobility only for their patent treasury, not to make this company becoming the one and only android phone producer...
