One thing that Android platform seriously lacks in comparison to iPhone (iOS) is quality gaming. Even though it fully supports good graphics and game play, but the developers for whatever reasons so far have not been able to deliver the quality of games that Apple’s iOS devices deliver.

The impressive rate at which new mobile phones are entering the cell phone arena sometimes creates a state of confusion for consumers about which one to get. More often than not, they find themselves in a situation, where they are unable to decide which mobile phone to go ahead with.

Sony Ericsson’s official page for the Xperia X10 has listed February 2010 as the expected launch date for its new Android-powered handset. This news shouldn’t come out as a surprise since Sony Ericsson previously made it pretty clear that X10 will hit the shelves in the first quarter of 2010. Xperia X10 is Sony's first entry in the Android space which introduces a new user interface platform called UX (codenamed Rachel) and new apps dubbed Mediascape and Timescape. This new user experience attempts to provide a centralized spot for all your communications, allowing you to view your tweets, photos, emails and conversations from a single spot.
