[/img]Still have your hopes up about a Windows Phone 7 slider from
Sony Ericsson? Then you might want to dial back those expectations, at
least according to Sony Ericsson France CEO Pierre Perron. He recently
told French newspaper Les Echos that while Sony Ericsson has indeed
been in talks with Microsoft about Windows Phone 7, the company is not
likely to pursue it because it would "run the risk of standardizing
our smartphones," adding that (roughly translated), "we would be
obliged to fight only on design and price, which we want to avoid."
Perron also seemed to outright dismiss the idea of a tablet from Sony
Ericssson (be it Android or otherwise), flatly stating that the
company doesn't want to be the "24th" tablet on the market. Of course,
it could well be a different story a few months or a year down the
line, but it certainly doesn't sound like Sony Ericsson will be
straying far from its current strategy at the moment.
