Xperia

On January 10, 2008, mobile phone maker Sony Ericsson filed to protect the trademark Xperia in relation to �cellular or mobile phones featuring the capacity to function in any number of extra ways beyond just as a phone�.

Mork�s going to guess that this might be the name of Sony Ericsson�s P5i superphone which is rumored to be released in mid-2008.

Even if Xperia isn�t the name of the P5i unit, the detailed filing definitely supports the �super� in superphone. The Sony Ericsson Xperia will:

(paraphrased from the filing) �function as a camera; perform instant messaging; access and communicate with e-mail; access and communicate with the Internet; function as a radio, to record, play, transmit, receive, and/or manage music; record, play, transmit, receive, edit, and/or manage video; create, view, transmit, receive, edit, and/or manage photographs; play electronic games; upload photographs and text onto online journals or web logs; function as a personal digital assistant (PDA); function as walkie-talkies; perform satellite navigation; function as a remote control for computers and run multimedia presentations�.

Geez, Sony Ericsson�maybe you could make it function as a Wiimote or add a Swiss Army knife while you�re at it! Slackers.

Anyway, the filing goes on (and on and on) to relate the Xperia name to such things as �devices that allow images from cellular or mobile phones to be shown on televisions� as well as the �telecommunications services� normally related to mobile phone features and service.
