"Sony Ericsson's first Walkman phone arrived in August 2005. It now sells one million units a month. These devices struck a huge blow for the mobile business against the iPod. Next came Cyber-shot, which promises to do the same for the camera phone. Meanwhile, Sony Ericsson's Developer World lends valuable support to content creators."

Mikael Nerde, Head of Developer Program & Content Planning at Sony Ericsson, was on hand to accept the award at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London.

"We are very excited and proud of this ME Award. It is proof of Sony Ericsson's success in bringing mobile music, imaging and 3D gaming to the mainstream. Not only have we managed to create stylish phones with high-performance Java ME capabilities that sell well, but we combine this with effective support to the global developer community in securing attractive content for these phones. I would like to thank all of our content partners who help us empower our mobile lifestyle experience," Mikael stated.

Tim Green, executive editor of Mobile Entertainment, said,

"These awards recognized the talent and hard work that is making mobile content the world's most exciting new industry. It was a truly amazing night and we look forward to doing it all again next year - in a bigger room."
