Sony Ericsson Idou – iPhone killer unveiled
With the W995 firmly out of the way, Sony Ericsson has fired a warning shot to Apple, RIM and every other touchscreen player with a killer new mobile, Idou. With features that are sure to give Steve Jobs and co plenty to think on, it's set to be the must have mobile of 2009.Sony Ericsson is only dropping a few details today, with more to come in the summer. But we've been tantalised with talk of a stonking 12.1MP camera, a 3.5in touchscreen to match the likes of the iPhone and G1 and a Symbian platform based on the new Symbian Alliance software.The interface will rock an XMB style familiar to PlayStation fanatics and SE mobile hounds alike. And that's something we're more than fond of too. Again, this is all part of their Entertainment Now plans, doing away with separate Walkman and Cybershot blowers.The name's due to change, which we think's a crying shame. We'll be getting a closer look on their MWC stand later this week, so keep your browsers open to Stuff.tv for all the news.For more on MWC, read our hottest phones we want to see now!

jet2 It's 'I do'. Having seen it in the flesh, it is big, but the camera and touchscreen look great. Can't wait to have some more hands on tme with it later. Joe

Ok for all you mac(iphone)girls, sony products have always been better. The iphone sucks, it doesnt even have a video cam, plus the cam on it is only like 1.3 mp. 12.1 mp is incredible for a phone. plus sony has video call, step up to that apple.
