Sony launching Xperia ‘Made of Imagination’ campaign this week
Sony is launching a new ‘Made of Imagination’ campaign this week to promote its new Xperia series. Below is a sneak preview of a special commercial that has been created by Wes Anderson, director of The Fantastic Mr Fox. From the video below we know that the advert was based on what children believe makes Sony smartphones special, which looks to have resulted in the creation of a new robot figurine. The 60 second advert is due to go live on 24th March 2012, at which time we expect the URL www.sonymobile.com/imagination to become active. Check back later in the week for updates.

Improve Sony Xperia S Battery Performance
The more powerful a smartphone the more power it needs. Whilst Sony have optimised battery usage as best as possible, it is sometimes down to the user to make changes to ensure you get the best battery life possible from your device, especially if you are away from power for a period of time. Here are some suggestions of what you could do.
When you are not using the internet, you can save power by disabling all data connections over mobile networks.- Turn off GPS, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when you don’t need these features.
- Set your synchronisation applications to synchronise manually.
- Check the battery usage menu in the phone to see which applications use the most power.
- Close and exit applications that you are not using.
- Lower the screen display brightness level.
- Turn off your phone or use Airplane mode if you are in an area with no network coverage.
- Use a Sony original handsfree device to listen to the music.
- Keep your phone in standby whenever possible.
- Live wallpaper is set as default background, so you can change it to static background, which can help to save battery
To make life easier you could use a SmartTag to automate the process for you.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S v Sony Xperia S
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc was a fantastic smartphone because it gave a wealth of features and high end specifications along with a unique look and feel.
That was about 18+ months ago now and since then the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S came along, offering a faster processor, faster camera load times and better standby times.
Another 6 months on and we now have the Sony Xperia S, the evolution of the Arc S, under new Sony (no Ericsson branding).
The question is, as a previous or current Arc or Arc S user, is it worth the upgrade to the new Xperia S?
