Apparently, Sony Ericsson seriously thinks about the possibilities in adopting any other OS for their devices. Following their consideration to use not only Windows Mobile for the coming series of Xperia, the company’s president Dick Komiyama, revealed that Sony Ericsson is now studying Google’s Android mobile operating system (and of course, not necessarily for Xperia device).

“We are certainly studying this opportunity, although we’re not in a position to do this at this moment,” Komiyama told journalists… “We are certainly interested.”

Actually, Sony Ericsson was already part of the Symbian Foundation, a group which  gives developers free access to its software. Android is also a fully open OS, meaning that developing for it is a free-for-all.

Sony Ericsson has announced plans to explore using environmentally sound components in its cell phones.

Cell phones are not biodegradable, containing small amounts of potentially harmful substances in batteries which, if not disposed of properly, could damage the environment.

The GreenHeart concept will research green technologies, using bio-plastic housings, recycled plastic keypads, zero charger with 3.5mW standby power, HTML based e-manuals, a game style educational application 'Ecomate' and environmentally conscious packaging.

In August, Samsung released its E200 Eco, a phone whose entire case is made from bioplastic. NEC introduced a bioplastic phone in Japan in 2006, and has been using plant-derived materials since 2004.

"The global take back scheme and the GreenHeart project bring us closer to our vision of being a leader in sustainability in the mobile phone industry," said Mats Pellback-Scharp, Head of Corporate Sustainability for Sony Ericsson.

Sony Ericsson has also setup collection points to recycle used cell phones in an environmentally sound way. There are currently more than 500 collection points in India, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Singapore, USA and Mexico. By 2009, it plans to rollout the program in all the countries in which it operates.
