Android 2.1 update delayed until october


Well...another delay. Rikard at the SE product blog has just posted that the Android 2.1 update for the XPERIA family, slated for an end of september - Q3 launch has now been delayed. We won't see it until the end of october atleast. The subsequent update has also been delayed due to this and will be outed early next year.
Anyway... here's what we'll get in the update:



 XPERIA X10:
  • Upgrade of the Android platform to Android 2.1
  • HD Video recording with continuous auto-focus
  • New back up and restore application, with extended content back up
  • 5 homescreens for apps, widgets, shortcuts and folders
  • Social phonebook, which automatically syncs contact pictures with Facebook and shows when your friends are online
XPERIA X10 mini and X10 mini pro:
  • Upgrade of the Android platform to Android platform 2.1
  • Improved Bluetooth functionality with support for sending and receiving pictures, contacts and more
  • New backup and restore application with extended content back up
  • Automatic synchronization of your contact pictures between Facebook and your phonebook
  • Improved ways of handling pictures, audio, text and numbers in your messages
The update will be made available in a phased roll-out which means that different “kits” get the update at different times. It will take some additional weeks from end of October before all different kits have the new software available.
