For those who were tempted by the Sony Ericsson LiveView Bluetooth device but, were put off by the price, now may be the time to buy one.

Directly through Sony Ericsson, the LiveView remote device is available for only £25 instead of the usual £45.99. This is a limited time offer and will expire November 30th. There is however, still a rather expensive delivery charge of £6.89. That still makes the Sony Ericsson Liveview only £31.89 though which is considerably cheaper than other retailers, such as Play.com who are currently selling the bluetooth device for £34.99, down from £39.99 last week.

Sony Ericsson LiveView is compatible with all of the Xperia devices, including last year’s Xperia X10, right up to the Xperia Arc S as well as the Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman which also runs Android. The device is also supported by other Android powered devices from other manufacturers.

Now that we have all seen the Xperia Arc which was unveiled at the Consumer Electronics show (CES) 2011, we finally have its official specifications. After going through it we were pleased with what we saw although a bit disappointed that it will be released running Android 2.3 Gingerbread and not Android 2.4 Honeycomb which we were hoping for. As to when it will be upgraded to Android 2.4 is anyone’s guess since Sony Ericsson usually takes a long time to release an official upgrade to the Xperia line.
