Sony Tablet P: the world’s first folding tablet computer.
Sony launched Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, a smartphone which will be able to take 3D, panoramic photos with standard 2 D camera.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S was unveiled at the IFA Techology Fair in Berlin and is expected to go on sale next month.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S takes 8.1megapixel panoramic photos which can be viewed on any 3D compatible television set.

Xperia Arc S camera works by taking several simultaneous images and “stitching” them together.
The Sony smartphone, which runs Google’s Android operating system, has a 4.2″ screen and the camera definition is 8.1 megapixels.
3D images can be viewed by connecting the phone to a 3D TV using the HDMI output.
Sony Ericsson said the Arc S’s 1.4GHz processor means it will start up 25% faster than its predecessor, the Arc.
Arc S can double as a remote control for Sony Bravia televisions, and features Sony’s Music and Video Unlimited media stores.
Most of the Arc S’s other updates are software-based. It comes with Android 2.3 installed, which enables faster web-browsing.
Sony said the Arc S will come in five colours – white, blue, silver, black and pink.
The new device was presented at the IFA technology fair in Berlin.
The fair also featured what Toshiba claims is the first glasses-free 3D television, although the model, the 55ZL2, has had mixed reviews.
Korean manufacturer LG presented a glasses-free 3D computer monitor.
