With all the hype surrounding the iPhone release, Sony Ericsson has "leaked" images and specs of it's 8MP Cybershot hero product. It's a pretty full featured device

• BestPic
• Red Eye reduction
• 2.4” QVGA TFT display
• Accelerometer allowing pictures to automatically display in landscape mode when you tilt the phone
  
• TV-Out
• aGPS, which will allow Geo-tagging of your pics
  
• WiFi

• DLNA Support - so you can stream to your Xbox 360 (for example)
• 104 x 49 x 19.5 mm, weighing 136 grams
• 2GB memory stick bundled
  

The phone, codenamed Shiho, will be available by early Q4 this year in 3 colours: copper gold, ice silver and night black. No word on price but you can expect it to come in at around $400 at launch with an aggressive price erosion plan to get it into pre-pay by Q4 09.

Looks like SE are going for the converged N95-esque devices in a big way. Its a pretty sweet product, fully featured. Let's hope they get the software right and make it easy to use
