Sony Ericsson Delays Android Phones

Although sony was hoping to adopt Google's hot new Android software as soon as possible, delays associated with trying to develop its own take on the operating system have resulted in their opting to use the tried and true Symbian and Windows Mobile platforms.

This comes right as the 4th largest global handset maker (after Nokia, Samsung and LG) announced that it would slash 2,000 more jobs after it posted a $387 million loss in the first quarter.

Jointly owned by Sweden's Ericsson and Japan's Sony, the company said sales in the January-March quarter tumbled by 36 percent to $2.2 billion, from $3.5 billion a year earlier.

It blamed the sales drop to weaker demand for mobile phones, with retailers and distributors trimming inventories amid the recessions in major economies.

The company shipped 14.5 million handsets in the quarter, down 35 percent from a year ago.
