The next version of Google Goggles will have a translation feature

We know Google Goggles for Android is a very "promising" app, it allows us to capture a logo then Goggles will use Google search engine to find some related items on the web, and it also works on landmarks too. Google believes that by using Goggles, it will gives people more choice to search for some stuffs via web. Even though the app still need some improvement (eg. a better image recognition), Google seems ready to take Goggles into a higher level. At MWC, Google showed us the next version of Google Goggles and it will involves Google Translate.

With optical character recognition (OCR), the next version of Google Goggles will scan the text that we have captured, and then allows us to select those text before translate them into the desired language. Here's a demo of how Google Goggles translates a German menu into English.

Se_booth

 

Sony Ericsson today announces its vision for the future of mobile entertainment – ‘Co-creation’ – using the launch of new online platform Creations. Co-creation focuses on facilitating the evolving needs of consumers, content publishers and developers, creating a community and a movement where they come together to personalise, share and continuously evolve and co-create mobile content.

Delivering on the vision that everyone can create

Creations delivers upon Sony Ericsson’s Co-creation strategy by enabling mobile phone users to create and publish their own content such as video, audio and imaging to be shared, explored and remixed using content-creating mobile applications and tools. Content will no longer be static as Creations allows content creators to produce content on the move from their mobile phone.

It is an open platform accessible using a range of mobile handsets, as well as on the desktop. Sony Ericsson is engaging with application developers to deliver content tools and applications.

Developers are also invited to join the Creations network and play a vital role in enabling co-creation and co-innovation on the mobile web, as the service prepares to support applications in the coming months.

The Wave (S8500) will be the first handset to use the Super AMOLED display with the 800x480 resolution, the other specs are the 1GHz processor, a 5MP camera (seems become more common isn't it?), aGPS, accelerometer, 2GB or 8GB of internal storage, a microSD slot and of course the Bada OS. The Wave is also going to be the first handset to ship with Bluetooth 3.0.
No words on the pricing, but it will be available worldwide starting in April.

The other two new handsets are the little brother of the yet-to-be-launched Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, the X10 Mini and X10 Mini Pro. Both device seems to be the "lite" & "smaller" version of the Xperia X10, in terms of physical presence and also hardware. Both device has pretty much the same hardware specs, the only difference is the Pro version will have a physical QWERTY keyboard. The X10 Mini and Mini Pro will be equipped with a 600 MHz Qualcomm processor, 5MP camera with auto-focus and geo-tagging, 2.55" QVGA touchscreen display, aGPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Android 1.6 with Sony Ericsson Timescape & Mediascape.
