And while it’s a bit on the chubby side, we think that, for Sony Ericsson’s Xperia Play, big is beautiful.

You could almost call the Xperia Play the shorter, fatter cousin to the svelte Xperia Arc, which Sony Ericsson once described as the “world’s thinnest smartphone.” At .62 inches, the Play looks positively bulky compared to its Xperia-line relatives — a veritable Jan Brady to the Arc’s Marcia.

La bataille de brevets entre Samsung et Apple a pris un nouveau tournant. Suite au droit concédé à Apple par la justice américaine, la semaine dernière, de pouvoir accéder aux produits annoncés par Samsung, pour vérifier s’ils ne violent pas ses brevets, la firme coréenne a répliqué, révèle le sitethisismynext.com.
