The Sony Ericsson LiveView is scheduled to be released in the UK on November 19. The delayed launch has largely been due to the lack of Android 2.1 updates to Sony Ericsson’s handsets. Android 2.1, as you know, is one of the key requirements for the LiveView so SE’s announcement that Xperia X10 owners would start receiving the update this week, had even bigger implications. Unfortunately, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 will not be able to work with the LiveView at first unless a miracle Android 2.1 update arrives on the handset within the next 16 days.
The Sony Ericsson LiveView will be priced at 69 Euros when it goes on sale Nov. 19 in the UK. According to online retailer play.com, the recommended price they’ve received from Sony (MSRP) is 59.99 euros so they will sell it for 49.99 Euros with free delivery. If you have received your Android 2.1 update for your Xperia X10 and plan on picking up the LiveView in a few weeks drop us a line in the comments section below, thanks.
