Sony Xperia S demo

Sony Xperia S demo [CES 2012] Sony introduced the Xperia S Android smartphone at CES yesterday, which was easily one of Sony’s best looking devices. Other than its sleek design, the phone packs top-notch specs like a 720p HD display, and a 12-megapixel camera with the Exmor R photo sensor. What I really like about the phone design is the clear bar that is used below the display for the Android buttons (back, home and menu) – something that I’ve never seen before on other devices. Check out a video demonstration of the phone after the break:

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

CES: CES is the acronym for the (International) Consumer Electronics Show, one of the largest consumer-electronics shows in the world. Although it is held in Las Vegas today, the first CES happened in June 1967 in New York City and Bob Gavin, the CEO of Motorola was the opening keynote speaker for that first edition. Subsequently, CES was held twice a year: the summer edition was in New York, and the winter edition was in Las Vegas, that is, until 1998 when CES became a once-a-year show. CES has been the introduction place for key products and technologies, including: Pong (1975), Nintendo NES (1985), Tetris (1988), Compact Disc (1991), HDTV (1998), Xbox (2001), Blu-Ray (2003), OLED TV (2008).
