Sony Ericsson Satio Getting an Update
The Sony Ericsson Satio is getting some interesting new updates just before SE launches some brand new phones –good to see that product support for older phones does not die out with newer models.
Anyway, for those of you wondering why the Satio’s name sounds familiar, it may be because you have seen the major advertising campaign that Sony Ericsson has dished out for the smart phone –the one that involves people bouncing around on giant colored balls all over the world. It was a pretty big campaign that would have certainly cost millions –millions we think that the device was hard pressed to earn back.
Despite the amazing features and capabilities of the Satio, the device suffered from an early set of problems that severely crippled the phone’s firmware. The problem was so bad that retailers Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U have suspended sales of the device until Sony Ericsson was able to release a fix for it.
In an amazing twist, the update actually improved the battery life of the device beyond its optimal listed rate –something that SE decided to use on the Aino and the Kita devices as well.
Anyway, the new update for the Satio will be bringing even more features to the SE smart phone. First off, Satio will now be compatible with video recording of 864 x 480 pixels (WVGA standard). The Satio will also be given more social networking integration with a Facebook app in the PlayNow menu, instant photo uploads to Facebook, video uploads to YouTube and threaded messages.
Media transfer has been enhanced with DLNA support and the user interface has been updated to improve performance. The update is also said to fix a few minor issues still present in the device.
