It is official – UIQ is history now

Software Company, UIQ which was jointly owned by Sony Ericsson and Motorola has filed in the court of Sweden for bankruptcy. The company’s official say that there is no market and no consumer for the UIQ platform. For those who don’t know about UIQ, it is the mobile OS that powered the Sony Ericsson’s Pxxx series so far, which includes P800, P900, P910, P990 and P1i. It also powered the Motorola A1000.

Last year, with the announcement by Sony Ericsson to use Windows Mobile for their Smartphone range, it was a clear signal that the Sony Ericsson has lost faith in the UIQ platform. To add salt to the wound, Motorola too left the poor UIQ all alone in the game by switching to Android.

It is a known fact that the UIQ had been cutting staff from the past 6 months. Right now, the company is down to just 200 employees. Living and surviving in a competitive phone market is not an easy job. The UIQ, without the support from Sony Ericsson and Nokia, was left crippled to face the likes of iPhone, Windows Mobile, Blackberry and Symbian. The employees of the UIQ are blaming the poor management for the bankruptcy, which is actually not true considering the fact that we saw very less or no development in the UIQ field.

Pink Eee PC S101 – Perfect shades of Pink [EEE PC]

The first question that comes to girl’s mind when we see a gadget is, “Will it come in pink? ” The answer is, “Yes, the S101 is actually now available in pink”. It seems to be making great impressions with another pink-lover. According to pixiestash, the unit oozes high quality and it makes the EEE 701 look like a mere toy. They further extend the comparison by saying that:

The metal parts are not chrome but understated gunmetal, and the crystals embedded in either end of the hinge are subtly sparkly. The keyboard is unfortunately not pink, but the palm rest and multitouch trackpad are brushed metal and color-matched to the pink cover. Even the case is classier than the 701’s, in brown, padded ultrasuede with matching drawstring bag for the cable and power brick.

Japan already got the hot pink version of S101in December 2008.
