Sony Ericsson Idou: Real Phone, Fake Name

Jumping in on the slim touch screen smartphone market, Sony Ericsson has unveiled the Idou, which it notes is just a concept name until the handset becomes a reality. It sports all the usual trimmings, like a 3.5-inch, 16:9 display for video, music and applications with Turbo 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. Photographers can look forward to a 12.1-megapixel camera with “touch focus” and Xenon flash. The Idou will get its new name and go on sale some time in the second half of this year. Pricing is still unknown. [Sony Ericsson]
