Sony Ericsson Xperia range to get Android 2.1 update (but not 2.2)

Sony Ericsson has announced that the Xperia X10, X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro handsets will finally receive an update to Android 2.1 in Q3 this year, but will still leave the devices lagging behind the best of the competition which will be running 2.2.

The Xperia™ X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro smartphones will all receive software upgrades during their lifecycle to improve performance and add new communication and entertainment experiences. From Q3 2010 onwards, the Xperia™ X10, X10 mini and X10 mini pro smartphones will be upgraded to run on the Android 2.1 operating system in selected markets. The Xperia™ X10’s position as the best multimedia Android smartphone will be strengthened through the addition of HD video recording as part of the same Q3 upgrade. A further upgrade to the Xperia™ X10 in Q4 will make it possible to connect wirelessly to and display content on your television and enhance the Timescape™ and Mediascape applications.
