Xperia Phones Receiving Jellybean Declared

    

Sony just announced the update plan of its Xperia line. Here's the list of models that will get updated to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and also the ones that will remain stuck with 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Sony's latest high-end Xperia phones - the Xperia T, TX and V - will be updated to 4.1 Jelly Bean in mid-Q1 next year.
Next up are the global versions of Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J. The release date for the update will be announced later. It's still unclear what will happen to the localized versions.
And now, the ones left behind - the whole 2011 Xperia lineup (which got updated to ICS) will not be getting Jelly Bean because Sony "would not be able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand".
It's a bit disappointing that the Xperia J, which has a cut-down version of the Qualcomm chipset that powers the 2011 Xperias, is getting JB but the older models are not.

ContourROAM2 Launches On October 21,Shooots 1080p Videos For $199

The Contour+2 may be the best digital action camcorder on the market (though Sony and GoPro aren't gonna agree), but the company knows not everyone wants a $400 shooter to capture their epic runs this ski season. Thus, Contour has introduced the ROAM2, a $199 model that records 1080p 30fps and 720p 60fps video on its included 4GB microSD card. Like the original Roam, it can capture clips up to one meter underwater without an external case, has a 270-degree rotating lens and a laser level to line up your shots. This new Roam, however, sports improved image quality and an aluminum skin of four colors: black, red and blue will be widely available, and green models can be had exclusively from Amazon through the end of the year (other retailers will carry it in 2013). Best Buy and other retailers will start selling them on October 21st.

Sony and Panasonic officially teaming up for OLED

There has been rumors going around regarding Sony and Panasonic's partnership for the OLED and last week, it was reported that they are publicly getting on the same boat for production of big screen OLED displays. They are currently still continuing research on the manufacture and development and if all goes as planned, the production of the OLED is to start as soon as 2013. 


At this point, it is inevitable to not compare these two companies with the two Korean companies already walking strong on the OLED route individually. I have a very high expectations for Sony and Panasonic on their OLED. Although more people are leaning towards LG, both LG and Samsung pulled it off pretty well, and I'm expecting to see a genius in Sony and Panasonic's. Sony did show their OLED TV back in 2007 but it wasn't quite successful due to its small size. I'm very much looking forward to this cooperation as well as the upcoming LG and Samsung's OLED.
