The X10 runs a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, so it is also fast.

The new user experience (UX) platform of Xperia is built on the Android OS and has two main interactive features: Time Scape and Media Scape. Time Scape offers you a unified communication interface. You can choose to communicate with contacts in your phone book over SMS, email or even Twitter, Facebook or other social networking IDs. And with Media Scape, you can see all your files grouped together in one scrollable list, very similar to the cover flow on Apple devices.

The Infinity button works in Media Scape also, letting you do what Genius does on iPods. The X10, though, will search for the same artiste on YouTube as well. However, for this to work, you will need Wi-Fi or a 3G connection.

The usual bells and whistles of a multimedia friendly phone are all there, including an 8.1 megapixel camera, featuring geo-tagging. The X10 comes with an 8 GB microSD card bundled, and has 1 GB memory built-in. This light 135 gm phone may look bulky with a big 4 inch screen, but is just 13 mm thin. It runs a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, so it is also fast. Though most phones have started looking at OLEDs to give you a longer battery life, X10’s is still a standard TFT touch screen.

  • iProf
    Rs 14,900

    This is India’s first tablet PC. It has a 7 inch touch screen, runs on Android OS, has Wi-Fi and guarantees five hours of battery life. It is basically an Android PC that gives you access to study material and video-audio lectures of iProf Learning Solutions group. It is unclear if this price includes the study material. Content is likely to be available for IIT-JEE, AIEEE, PMT, CAT, GMAT, law and CA: in collaboration with other Indian educational institutes. Since this is an Android-based PC, all these applications should soon become available for other Android-based machines too.

  • MSI Wind U160
    Rs 24,999

    It is one of the smartest-looking netbooks in the market. And this 1 kg, brown-coloured machine also works hard. The machine claims 12 hours of battery life, easily upgrades to 2 GB from 1 GB, has a shiny screen and a great-looking metallic hinged body. Running the latest Pine Trail Atom processor from Intel, it is targeted at those who want a mobile computer without the headache of plugging it in every few hours. There are issues with its wireless reception, and it lights up like a Christmas tree when it is on. But these you could easily ignore because the Wind runs cool and stays cool, even after long working hours.
