Sony Ericsson could well be beavering away on a second Windows Mobile-based Xperia phone – at least if the boss of Skyhook Wireless is to be believed.
According to the GigaOM blog, Ted Morgan, CEO and co-founder of Skyhook (which makes Wi-Fi based geolocation software) has claimed that the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 will use a Windows Mobile platform and will feature geolocation data from Google rather than from Skyhook.
Sony Ericsson has already confirmed plans to launch an Android phone in the summer of 2009, and the general consensus was that it was likely to be a high-end offering much like the Xperia X1 (but with Android as the OS, rather than Windows Mobile, obviously).
Now it seems that the next generation of the Xperia range will be firmly Windows Mobile-based, but of course that doesn’t mean we won’t see an Xperia X3 (or X4 or X5…) running on Google’s open source OS.
