Perhaps a sign of something big to come from the mobile giant is the news that Sony have filed for the Trademark on the name ‘Xperia Duo’ with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office).

A short update on one of our previous posts regarding a low priced deal for the Sony Ericsson Liveview on Play.com. The retailer has dropped the price of Liveview even further but, for one day only this time round.

On the Play ‘deal of the day’ promotion, the Sony Ericsson Liveview accessory is reduced down to an even cheaper £12.99 with free delivery! At £15 the deal was cheap as chips but, at £12.99 it seems irresistible to anyone who has ever considered buying Liveview as an add-on for their phone.

We’ve heard reports that Sony Ericsson were going to release a Windows Phone 7 Xperia handset but, not much came of the rumors. It seems however, such a phone did exist with the codename Jolie.

A prototype of the handset has been spotted on eBay and is currently at $405 with two days left.

Sony Ericsson have confirmed that they will be updating all of their 2011 range of Xperia smartphones to Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich. The update will begin rolling out in March 2012 to the Xperia Arc S, Neo V and Ray initially.

The other 2011 handsets, such as the original Xperia Arc and Neo models, Xperia Play, Xperia Mini, Xperia Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Xperia Active will get the update in late April to early May 2012. The Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will also be getting an update to ICS at the same time as the Xperia family.

Despite their recent ‘boo-boo’ when they mistakenly posted news of their offering of 50GB of cloud storage space free for Xperia owners, Sony Ericsson have moved to confirm that the offer should go live soon, just not as soon as they announced it would on their official blog.

Xperia handset owners should, at some point in the near future, be entitled to a whopping 50GB of storage, via an app on Xperia handsets (which will be downloaded from the Android Market) through cloud storage provider Box in a deal struck between themselves and Sony Ericsson.
