Android Helps Sony Ericsson Boost Profits - PCWorld
Last 3 paragraphs say it all
Competition among the makers of Android-based smartphones is very tough and shipping more than its competitors will be a tall order for Sony Ericsson.
HTC and Samsung are in an extremely strong position, according to Ben Wood, director of research at CCS Insight. To make its goal even achievable, Sony Ericsson will have to add a lot of software resources, according to Wood. So far the company has been playing catch-up to the other vendors, he said.
Owners of Sony Ericsson's Android-based smartphones are still waiting for an upgrade from Android 1.6 to 2.1. On Thursday, the company said its plan is still to start rolling out the update toward the end of October. Sony Ericsson still maintains that its own additions to Android are more important than having the latest version of the operating system.
