Sony Ericsson introduces Cybershot phones with blogging capability

Sony has just released the first two models in its new Cyber-shot phone range – the K800i (with an approximate price of £300), and a slightly cheaper version – the K790. While various Java apps have been available to allow cameraphone shots to be uploaded directly to a blog, these new handsets are the first to come with a built-in blogging capability.

All the user has to do is select a picture and then pick the option for sending via ‘blog’ rather than MMS (picture messaging) or email. By default this will link the user directly to Google’s Blogger service.

Sony Ericsson unveiled six new mobile phones on Tuesday and said that two of them have cameras good enough to carry Sony’s Cyber-shot digital camera brand.

The K800 and K790 mobile phones feature a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, an image stabilizer, a flash which is brighter than usual for mobile phones and a sensor that can snap nine full resolution images within a second. The technology, including software to improve picture quality, comes from Sony.
