Pocket-lint can reveal Sony Ericsson is poised to unveil some exciting new handsets in the
We have received invites to two press events for phone launches, the first for a Walkman model that was debuted at the CES show in January, the second for unknown new "hero" handsets for the summer.
The Walkman model to get an imminent UK launch is the flip-down W350i featuring the latest "Walkman on Top" technology that will be shown to UK press next week, along with something dubbed "Sound Snacks" that is yet to be unveiled.
The Sony Ericsson W350i measures 10mm thick and when shown off in the States, was available in ice blue, hypnotic black and graphic white.
An EDGE device offering a 1.9-inch screen, Bluetooth and 512MB Memory Stick, the flip design allows for the phone to be used as a music player with the flippy bit closed, covering the keys.
The second, larger press event is scheduled for the 17 June and is thought to be Sony Ericsson's big summer launches - phones and accessories - and not just stuff we've already seen at Mobile World Congress.
Pocket-lint will be attending and will bring you all the news as it breaks.
The last few months of iPod rumors have all come down to this, a final push before the supposed launch next week. What's going to be new? Supposedly, a two-inch-square flash-based iPod that may be called the iPod Touch, based on the fact that it's going to play back video and cost $299 and $399 for 4GB and 8GB.
If the rumor is true, It would essentially be a phone-less iPhone, which was what everyone's been thinking Apple would bring. It makes sense that they're not following up with a 6G iPod that looks exactly like the iPhone, instead making a smaller nano with a larger screen that fits easily in your pocket. Then later this year or early next year they can come out with a big 6G iPod with a huge 16:9 screen and an iPhone-like interface. Of course, this is all conjecture now, but the pieces do start to fit together. [9 to 5 Mac]

There are rumors going around, and this time its got to do with Apple Computers, who once again are keeping mum on the possibility of three new iPod models that are set to be launched in 2007. The new iPod models include the much-awaited widescreen video-centric iPod, and the highly rumored 16GB Flash-based video player.
The three unreleased iPods may replace the current fifth-generation iPod. Apparently, it all depends on how the buyers react to Apple’s upcoming se-top box, which has been codenamed iTV. It has been said that if the buyers do not like the design, the widescreen iPod may not come out at all. That is until we are ready for it.
The reports really do not contain any details of the other two iPods that are supposedly going to be released in 2007. However, a Wall Street analyst indicated a 16GB Flash-based video-capable iPod. In fact, most of Apple’s products get leaked out inevitably when Wall Street analysts indicate so.
What we do know for sure, is that Apple is focusing mainly on the iPhone, iTV and their new Mac OS X10.5. So stay tuned. We will be back with more rumors!
