Video Demo of Sony Ericsson Rachel UI
Mobile Phones | Reads from WWW
Mon 02 Nov 2009

Ah, the Sony Ericsson Rachel. Wait, or is it known as the X3, or X10? Regardless of which, what you should know about the upcoming Sony Ericsson Android-powered device, is that it's UI is going to blow your mind. A video of its media UI has been floating around the web, and it looks very pretty. Looks pretty, true, but will it actually be able to handle itself well enough on the actual production unit?

Gizmodo - Looks like Sony Ericsson borrowed heavily from the Zune HD playbook for this one, but we're not complaining—the Zune HD has the only media UI that's capable of competing with the iPhone's. Let's count the influences: First is the homescreen, which has a layout very similar to the Zune HD's QuickPlay menu. Instead of just giving you a boring list of Artists, Albums, and Snoooore, it shows Favorites (like the Zune HD's Pins), Recently Added and Recently Played, not-so-coincidentally the exact same options in the Zune HD menu. Below that you get two options from PlayNow, a kind of Pandora-like Sony store, including Top 30 and Recommendations. This stuff is super useful for anyone with a large, frequently-updated media collection.

The full story, over here.
