Sony Ericsson Goes Mobile Blog Cell Camera

Need a camera? Need to blog a photo? Need a mobile phone?

Sony Ericsson announced on Tuesday that it was teaming up with Google to not only incorporate Google Web Search into its phones, but that it would integrate the Google-owned Blogger.com service into new camera phones.

The news came as part of a six-strong new model line-up from Sony Ericsson launched this week. The first handsets to offer the new Google services are the recently announced K610 UMTS phone and new range-topping cameraphones, the K800 (pictured) and K790, announced yesterday and available in Q2 2006.

The 3G K800 features a 3.2-megapixel camera which for the first time is branded Cyber-shot, Sony's name for its stand-alone digital camera range. The K800 has a 240x320 pixel screen as well as all the usual Sony Ericsson features, such as 3D games, MP3, FM radio, and Bluetooth. Storage is via a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card.

By integrating Blogger, users will be able to take photos with their phone and at the touch of a button, upload them to their blog page. If they don't have one, Google's service will automatically create one for them. This has the potential to open up moblogging to a much wider audience. - source
