The arrival of the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S illustrates how incredibly fast things are moving in the world of Android hardware. The original Xperia Arc launched in April, now here’s the upgrade a mere six months later.
Well, we say “upgrade”… what you’re getting in the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S is two new features that aren’t in the older Arc – a faster 1.4GHz single-core processor, plus the latest Android 2.3.4 update of Google’s operating system and Sony Ericsson’s user interface skin.
And even then, the 2.3.4 software update is scheduled to arrive as an over-the-air upgrade for the first Xperia Arc this month, meaning that the only real new thing here is the faster processor.
