Gear Diary Hands On with the Sony Xperia Ion and the Xperia P photo

After the mob scene Helena and I had encountered at the Sony Press Conference the other night, it was refreshing to have a one-on-one session with Alistair and Tobias from Sony. Tobias just happened to have the just announced Sony Xperia P and the upcoming (this summer) Xperia Ion on him, and he didn’t mind giving us a leisurely look. The cherry on the top of this particular sundae was that Tobias was wearing the new SmartWatch.

I’m personally torn between the two models; I love the larger screen size, the camera, and the other specs on the Ion, but the P has “an ultra-bright viewing experience thanks to the introduction of WhiteMagic™ screen technology, and comes with a 4” Reality Display housed in aluminium, unibody design for a sleek look and feel. Xperia™ P also introduces the new ST-Ericsson U8500 platform, which provides a 1 GHz dual core processor with SMP technology for high-end performance. Plus, Xperia™ P gives you an 8MP capture camera, full 1080p HD recording & front camera, NFC, and a ton of other features.”

I have had a fascination with all types of gadgets and gizmos since I was a child, beginning with the toy robot that my grandmother gave my brother - which I promptly "relieved him of" in 1973. I have long been captivated by devices that did anything interesting or served a unique purpose - however silly. I can't tell you how everything works – but I am known world-wide for using a product until I have a full understanding of what it does, what its limitations are, and if it excels in any given area...or not.
