Just as promised in the teaser video, Sony Ericsson today launched their first Android offering, the XPERIA X10. Prior reports called this touchscreen beauty the Rachael and XPERIA X3, but now that it’s official, everyone can call it the XPERIA X10.
Aside from its 1GHz Snapdragon processor, 4-inch scratch-resistant touchscreen, 8.1-megapixel autofocus camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS, it will also come with variety of imaging features including intelligent face recognition, image stabilization, touch focus, geotagging and smile detection, a WebKit web browser, 3.5mm jack, and 1GB memory.

They’re also introducing two new apps with the X10: Mediascape and Timescape. Mediascape is the media UI which was the center of attention two days ago.

Needless to say, Sony Ericsson is now officially hooked on the Android fever.
