Interesting gadget for Android phones

A secondary screen for Android 2.0+ phones. Connects via bluetooth, allows you to control your phone without taking it out of your pocket/bag.

Looks like it could be pretty good if you have one of the giant-phones/mini-tablets like the Dell Streak or the Samsung Tab

SE havent confirmed it will work with non SE hardware*.

so it wont work on their own phones either as they all still running 1.6 :lolup:

The Sony Ericsson site itself says it is compatible with the HTC Desire and the Samsung Galaxy

I did think that , but in the vid he shows it apparntly working on an Xperia X10, and the site linked above says it'll work on the X10 range (normal, mini and pro).

IT'd be even better if it was stainless steel and round and had a proper watch braclet.

edit: fromthe specs page "LiveView™ is compatible with all Sony Ericsson Android 2.0 and up mobile phones. It’s also compatible with Android 2.0 and up mobile phones from other manufacturers that are equipped with Bluetooth™ 2.1."

if that worked with the iPhone i may be tempted!

Unfortunatly I don't think you could even do someething like this to work with the iPhone (over bluetoooth anyway) due to the limited bluetooth profiles Apple supports.
