Sony Mobile Evangelist

MobileCrunch received a tip that the long admired, much praised Rachael handset, also known as the Xperia 3, will be launched in January 2010. That also is the time period when the joint venture is expected to roll out its last Windows Mobile device, the Xperia 2. Will one cannabalize sales of the other? The good thing for Sony Ericsson is that the Xperia 2 and Xperia 3 really don't clash. The latter unit is a Windows phone as we just noted, and the former model is powered by Google's open source Android OS. Also, both models were developed together, so why not let them ring the cash registers at the same time?
