Wednesday saw Sony Ericsson’s President Dick Komiyama announcing that the company has been studying Google's Android mobile operating system, but was not able to accept it. 

At a media event in the southern Swedish city of Lund, where the company has a research and development site, Komiyama reported, “We are certainly studying this opportunity, although we're not in a position to do this at this moment. We should look at this application. We are certainly interested.”

Basically, Android, which helps in designing mobile devices, is an open source platform. This, according to Google, will help in enhancing innovations by allowing outside software developers to explore the system and instead generate better mobile programs and services. 

But, it was reported by Komiyama, “Sony Ericsson was already part of the Symbian Foundation, a group which since June has attracted some 40 companies and gives developers free access to its software.”

Meanwhile, on Tuesday Deutsche Telekom AG's T-Mobile launched the first cell-phone that utilizes Android software. The phone however is being used as Google’s reply to the iPhone. There are many exciting features in the G1 phone, which include a touch-sensitive screen, a computer-like keyboard and Wi-Fi connections. It has been made by HTC Corp.
