Sony Ericsson buyout finally complete, meet Sony Mobile Communications

The final acquisition of Sony Ericsson and Sony has finally been completed. Taking the Ericsson half out of the equation. No longer will we see the Sony Ericsson branding, instead they should all just be ‘Sony’. Even though the purchase has gone through, doesn’t mean they are going to scrap any devices that are already scheduled to launch or that already have the SE branding. Especially with Mobile World Congress right around the corner and a number of devices slated to be unveiled.

I already miss Ericsson. For some reason, Sony Mobile Communications just doesn’t have the right ring to it. I don’t know if I will ever think of their future devices the same again.

Time for an update. I am the proud father of three, 2, 8, and 11. I finally just moved up from the Samsung Vibrant to the Samsung Galaxy S III...... Let me tell you, it is mind blowing. I love Android, I love tech and I love my family. Not in that order though. I work to hard, play even harder and take care of all that are around me when I can.
