Sony Ericsson isn’t leaving any stone unturned to produce an Android winner. A new smartphone from the manufacturer model number ST18i was leaked and folks over GSMArena got a full album of its pics. It looks a lot like Xperia Arc and features similar hardware apart from a smaller display.

Microsoft Windows 8’s UI design Revealed-Test post
As we had all been expecting, Microsoft has come out in public with what their system developers have been working on. The next version of Windows is being designed to not only run on two different architectures, but across devices that have varying screen-size, pixel density and input methods. Windows 8 will support x86 architecture that will cover desktop and laptop computers; whereas native support for ARM architecture is meant for smaller devices like netbooks and tablets. Developing such a versatile operating system may turn out to be a tall order for Microsoft; however, in all fairness the UI demos showcased are quite impressive.
Microsoft is not being too generous with information on the new OS, as the focus was clearly on the new UI design. Windows 8’s interface has been heavily influenced by tile-based Metro UI of Windows Phone 7.This interface has been designed for ‘live’ applications that are expected to be based on HTML5 and JavaScript. In addition, judging by UI walkthrough video released by Microsoft, resizing and snapping of multiple running applications has been vastly improved.
Windows 8 will ship with version 10 of Internet Explorer, which will take full advantage of hardware acceleration and will be optimized for touch-based browsing. The on-screen keyboard has also been optimized for touch interface with a new split-mode designed for two-thumb typing.
Apparently, this new slick interface will run as a shell over the traditional desktop UI. Under this shell, users will get complete access to the file system via Windows Explorer. Also, this mode is meant to run applications that were written for Windows 7 and older version of Windows.
While the new UI design leans heavily towards handheld devices that employ touch-based input, Microsoft insists that the it will work just as well with the mouse-keyboard based input method of desktop computers. Microsoft has vowed to reveal another big chunk of nformation on Windows 8 during the developer event BUILD, which is scheduled to take place in mid-September.
