Sony Ericsson is dedicated to promoting content and ideas we feel are worthy of attention. If we decide that your product fits the needs of our own or third-party distribution channels, then we can help you meet the right people. Below are three Sony Ericsson distribution channels to give you a few examples of how.
PlayNow™ is Sony Ericsson's popular over-the-air download service, available directly from the menu on most Sony Ericsson phones. It offers the opportunity to preview a variety of media-content and buy it there and then. Besides music, also on offer, are master tones, real tones, wallpapers and games. New for 2008 is the Sony Ericsson PlayNow arena website and in-phone service. PlayNow arena is more than a store; it's a unique multimedia experience. Music tracks, TrackID™ charts, games, themes and graphics are brought together in a fun and inspiring way, accessible via the phone or computer.
This is a web portal and WAP service that offers downloads for Sony Ericsson phones. With the focus on fun and entertainment, people are presented with exciting ringtones, images, video clips, wallpapers, themes, animated content and games. Content varies with country and geographical region, but the portal has a mix of branded, premium and free downloads, as well as on-line tools and services.
The Sony Ericsson Application Shop website is open to all third-party applications for Sony Ericsson UIQ-based phones that have passed Symbian Signed testing.
