Sony Ericsson and Google Collaborate on Integration of Blogger and

Google Search Into Handsets

LONDON, Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Ericsson and Google today
announced that they have worked closely together to integrate Google's
Blogger and Web Search features on Sony Ericsson mobile phones. The
two companies are the first in the industry to provide a pre-loaded
blog application with a tight integration to the mobile camera and
intuitive automatic set-up for consumers who do not already have a
personal blog. The first Sony Ericsson products to offer the new
service are the recently announced K610 UMTS phone and new flagship
imaging handsets, the K800 and K790, announced today and available in
Q2 2006.

Integrating Blogger and Google Web Search in the Sony Ericsson
handsets will provide a completely new experience for consumers. Icons
leading to Google Web Search have been integrated into the phone user
interface to provide easy access to the information that Google Web
Search can provide.

"We are seeing exponential growth in blogging and consumers are
turning more and more often to the Internet as a means of sharing
information or images in personal blogs," said Jan Wareby, corporate
executive vice president, head of sales and marketing, Sony Ericsson.
"By working with Google, we're able to offer a quick and easy way for
people to blog as they discover how convenient it is as a way to share
words and pictures with friends, family and beyond. We are also
delighted to collaborate with Google, the undisputed leader in Web
Search, to provide consumers with relevant Internet information
directly to their Sony Ericsson handsets."

"By providing people with direct access to features like mobile search
and blogging, we're able to create a more personalized, user-friendly
experience," said Nikesh Arora, vice president, European operations,
Google Inc. "Today's tech-savvy consumers are becoming increasingly
more mobile and demand access to information on-the-go, whether it's
the latest news headlines or directions to a favorite restaurant."

Additionally, commencing today Google will become the standard search
engine for all new Sony Ericsson Internet-capable phones. It has been
tightly integrated into the phone web experience with multiple
intuitive access points. For instance, users can directly activate a
Google Web Search option from whichever page they are viewing without
the need to launch a new web page to complete a search. With one
click, you will be able to quickly and easily access the information
they need.
