LONDON: Earlier this week, Sony Ericsson announced the extension of its portfolio strategy to include support for the Open Handset Alliance, confirming its intention to develop a handset based on the Android platform. Said Rikko Sakaguchi, CVP and head of creation and development at Sony Ericsson, “We believe Sony Ericsson can bring a wealth of experience in making consumer-focused multimedia handsets with new user experience to the Alliance, drawing on the successes of the Walkman and Cyber-shot sub-brands. Sony Ericsson is a strong supporter of open operating systems.” Membership of the alliance will complement the company's existing Open OS strategy, which is based on the Symbian and Windows Mobile platforms.
