Sony Ericsson is not tying its Xperia premium handset brand to Windows Mobile despite being satisfied with the platform, the product manager for the first Xperia phone has said.

"Both HTC and Samsung have announced their plans to upgrade key handsets to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich this week. The news comes after several months of waiting, or in the case of Samsung, several false starts and a lot of denial."

Mobile apps are like your neighborhood produce store. You walk inside the doors looking for specific items. They also typically let users tap into their phone's full potential. For example, a native app might integrate with a phone's camera, voice recorder, contacts or other features. And for shoppers looking for a richer, more advanced interface, applications typically win out over the mobile web because they are designed specifically for that handset's hardware and operating system. Overall, native apps offer a tailored shopping experience that's well delivered but limited. The mobile web on the other hand is a like a huge shopping mall with seemingly limitless stores and tons of options all under one giant roof. It's not as constricted or fragmented as shopping on disparate mobile apps but the experience isn't as tailored as the specialty store. Unlike device-specific native apps though, the mobile web has enormous flexibility and, usually, much larger reach. Customers don't need to download robust programs from app stores to their handset in order to begin shopping. Instead, all they have to do is type in a web address in their mobile browser to start spending their digital dollars. Much of the time mobile sites serve as stripped-down versions of regular websites and serve a utilitarian purpose: selling goods and services.

The first smartphone powered by Google's open source Android operating system - the G1 - was in one sense a big success even before it went on sale this week through Deutsche Telekom's T-Mobile USA mobile unit. According to some reports, 1.5m T-Mobile G1 handsets were preordered by buyers eager to get hold of a device and an operating system that promise to deliver another boost to the consumer smartphone market. It goes on sale in the UK shortly.

More and more mobile phones users are browsing and searching the internet on their handsets. The UK, for example, has neared saturation for mobile phones and many handset browsers can now handle sites designed for viewing on computers. Indeed 20% of UK mobile phone users now use the internet on their mobile devices. In this article, Abid Warsi of Webcredible defines seven guidelines that web designers should bear in mind when considering how their sites will look and work on mobiles.

We can look forward to at least one other Android-based mobile phone hitting the market, although not from one of the big makers.

For Google, mobile is critical to its information-centric business - which is why it has big ambitions for getting the OS on as many devices as it can.

Linux, Symbian and open source looks to be the future for Nokia as it approaches a head-on clash with Google.
