Sony Mobile Evangelist

Currently sitting with a 17% share of the global Android market, Sony Ericsson CEO Bert Nordberg said on Wednesday that the joint venture is aiming to be the market share leader. The executive didn't give a market share target or a time frame relating to this quest, but the current leader has a 23% piece of the pie.

For Sony Ericsson to achieve this goal, the company will have to step things up in terms of manufacturing. Currently, all of the joint venture's Android phones are powered by the 1.6 build of the operating system. Most top-end phones using Google's open source OS are loaded with Android 2.1 or 2.2. S

One way that Sony Ericsson could shake things up would be to offer an Android phone with capabilities to link with the Sony PlayStation gaming platform. Recent speculation centered around such a device powered by Android 3.0, that if produced, could help Sony Ericsson take a huge slice of market share away from the other Android phone manufacturers.

The road to the top includes a faster update schedule, so you might want to work on speeding up the Timescape port process to newer versions of Android.That rumored Android 3.0 gaming device wouldn’t hurt either.
