New Sony Ericsson C510, W508 and W715: Project Capuchin now in six phones
On January 8, 2009, Sony Ericsson announced three new phones – the C510 Cyber-shot™ and W508 & W715 Walkman™ – taking the number of phones series supporting the Project Capuchin API to six and Sony Ericsson's Java™ Platform 8 (JP-8), and the Mobile Services Architecture (MSA) umbrella standard (JSR 248), to 24.
The Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot portfolio has sold 32 million phones worldwide. The new C510 Cyber-shot is the most affordable yet and introduces new Smile Shutter™ technology. The new W508 and W715 are both Walkman phones, with the W715 an exclusive to Vodafone.
C510 Cyber-shot facts
The C510 Cyber-shot is a HSDPA phone providing an affordable mobile camera experience, featuring a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus, Smile Shutter, Face Detection, auto-rotation, Photo Fix, HP Snapfish and YouTube™.
Smile Shutter technology detects a person's smile immediately taking the photo and Face Detection can focus on up to three faces at one time.
The C510 also includes a 320x240 pixel 262K TFT QVGA display, 100MB internal memory and extendable external memory using Memory Stick Micro™.
The C510, C510a and C510c will be available in selected markets during Q1 2009.
W508 in more detail
The W508 Walkman is a HSDPA clamshell phone providing a mobile entertainment experience - music management using Shake Control, SensMe™ and Gesture Control, track discovery using TrackID™ music recognition service, more content downloadable from PlayNow™ arena online store and personalization using Style-Up covers.
Shake Control enables volume or track shuffle function to be changed by giving the phone a quick shake. Gesture Control means a swipe of a hand mutes incoming calls or puts the alarm clock on snooze without touching the phone.
The W508 also includes a 320x240 pixel 262K TFT QVGA display, 100MB internal memory, extendable external memory using Memory Stick Micro™ and 3.2 megapixel camera.
The W508 and W508a will be available during Q2 2009.
Vodafone exclusive, W715 Walkman phone
The W715 Walkman is a HSDPA slider-format phone providing an enhanced mobile entertainment experience with award-winning audio performance, TrackID music recognition service and fully integrated with Vodafone Music.
The W715 also features a 320x240 pixel 262K TFT QVGA display, 120MB internal memory, Wi-Fi, an accelerometer and aGPS.
Aside from turn-by-turn pedestrian or driving navigation available using Vodafone Find&Go, end-users will be able to find their nearest restaurants, hotels or shopping centers all within a few clicks on their mobile phone.
The W715 will be available in Vodafone markets during Q1 2009.
Project Capuchin in six phone series
The addressable market for developers creating Project Capuchin applications is increasing as Sony Ericsson now offers six phone models supporting the Project Capuchin API – the new C510, W508 and W715 join the previously announced C905 Cyber-shot, W705 Walkman and G705 phones.
Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin SDK is a set of APIs, a packaging tool, documents and getting-started tutorials that enables developers to bridge the Java™ ME and Adobe® Flash Lite™ programming environments and is available for download from the dedicated Project Capuchin Docs & Tools web section.
Sony Ericsson's Project Capuchin allows developers to combine the richness of both Java ME and Flash Lite by encapsulating Flash Lite content in Java ME applications making content created by Adobe Flash technology appear as Java ME applications.
The Project Capuchin API and the Swf2Jar tool make it possible to use Flash Lite as the presentation layer and Java ME as the application logic, meaning that Flash tools can be used for UI design while still having access to all the phone services available to Java ME.
Mobile Services Architecture (MSA) in 24 phone series
The announcement of the new C510, W508 and W715 means that MSA full set can now be found in 24 Sony Ericsson phone series. All JP-8 phones are based on MIDP 2.1 and have the same core JSR set based on the Java umbrella standard MSA (JSR 248).
Sony Ericsson's Java Platform 8 (JP-8) phones are organized in three sub-categories – JP-8 (8.0-8.2), JP-8 (8.3) and JP-8 (8.4). There are currently 24 JP-8 phone series and JP-8.3 represents a sub-group of nine phones with some additional functionality supported by the Content Handler API (JSR 211) and Mobile Sensor API (JSR 256). The JP-8.3 phone models are the C702, C902, G502, T700, TM506, W760, W980, Z780 and Z770.
JP-8.4 is differentiated by including the Project Capuchin API.
