Sony Ericsson LiveView Accessory Links to Android Phones

Sep 28, 2010, 10:20 AM by Philip Berne

Sony Ericsson today unveiled a new accessory for Android phones, the Sony Ericsson LiveView. The LiveView is a 1.3-inch display surrounded by a touch sensitive bezel. Using an Android app, buyers will be able to control some apps on the phone and receive notifications directly on the LiveView screen. Users will be able to read text messages and Facebook emails, and will also be able to use the device with other apps, including Sony Ericsson's SportyPal Pro app. Developers will be able to write apps that interact with LiveView, and Sony Ericsson will provide a LiveWare Manager application that will gather LiveView compatible apps from the app market for easier download. The company demonstrated the LiveView being used with its own built-in clip, and with a watch band accessory. Specific pricing and availability has not been announced, but the device should be available in Q4 of this year.

So Let Me Get This Straight...

Years ago we start off with huge phones, then over time, condense them into small, thin flip phones. Then years later we again are making them larger and larger with huge screens. Now we find small accessories to make our large phones more portable.

Interesting world we live in.

OPULENCE.

So now we need another wireless device to control your mobile device so you no longer have to take it out of your pocket.

Society has become so lazy.

Sell these with a quality pair of Stereo Bluetooth headsets

and I'm sold. 😎

This would make using my phone while running a lot easier. I hate wired headphones, and I hate not being able to skip through stuff without pulling out my phone, unlocking it and hitting skip.

That being said, I'd have to see what apps it supports. at a minimum it needs to support music players, pandora, and slacker.
