LONDON, November 16, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The innovative Android applications, Timescape and Mediascape, which can be found on Sony Ericsson's Xperia(TM) range, improve the user experience, according to the global Android phone (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperiax10...) brand.

Timescape consolidates the information that a phone user receives on their handset in real-time, enabling them to manage their communications effortlessly. Populated from both local and online sources, such as SMS text messages and social media updates respectively, the application allows them to view all incoming content in a timely and organised manner. SMS, MSM, emails and missed calls as well Facebook and Twitter notifications are displayed in graphical form in chronological streams, blended together or separately via type filters.

Available on all Xperia(TM) handsets, Timescape enhances mobile phone use and makes it easier for people to keep track of all mobile and social communication, whilst Mediascape aggregates different media content. Mediascape gives users quick access to music, video and photographs and the dedicated home screen is divided into local and online, enriching the media phone (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperiax8?...) experience.

On both applications, pressing the 'infinite button' on a piece of content displays additional relevant information. For example, in Timescape it can show all related locally stored and online information including content from YouTube and in Mediascape it presents all the communication a user has exchanged with that particular person in one view, from emails and tweets to tagged photographs.

Sony Ericsson's Head of Digital and CRM, Ben Padley, said: "Mediascape and Timescape are innovative applications that make organising and managing every element of your mobile entertainment and communication simple, convenient and fun. Interacting with both of these very visual Android applications on handsets in the Sony Ericsson Xperia(TM) range makes keeping in touch and accessing assorted media more straightforward and enjoyable for every user."

Mediascape and Timescape, which blur the boundaries between online and local content can be found on handsets in the Xperia(TM) range, including the popular mini android (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/mobilephones/overview/xperiax10...) phone, the Xperia(TM) X10 mini.
