Sony’s Xperia line of smartphones is, in my humble opinion, one of the more underrated Android smartphones. Sony’s custom Timeline user-experience on top of Android 2.3 Gingerbread is one of the best in the business and the company offers great support to the development community in the form of giving them unlocked bootloaders and kernel sources.
Despite the lawsuit which Sony has filed against Geohot for jailbreaking PlayStation 3, Geohot has made it clear that he wants to be the first person in line when the Xperia Play (aka PlayStation Phone) is launched, so that he can hack the device and use it to its full potential.
