Sony Smartphone With Windows Phone 7 OS Teased Tweet

Today, Sony has teased us with a picture of what is dubbed the New VAIO Ultra Mobile. At first glance we are thinking it's either a new VAIO laptop or netbook running the Windows platform (Mr. Clippy was a dead giveaway regarding the OS).

However the "ultra mobile" should imply something smaller. With their current 7-inch mobile netbook already tiny enough by netbook standards, could Sony be hinting a Windows Phone 7 OS powered smartphone instead?

The Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, which runs Android, is arguably the best SE handset on the market at the moment. Released only a few months after the Symbian runn SATIO, it has already surpassed it in terms of sales. With rumors that the new Symbian^3 showcased on the Nokia N8 being a major letdown, we can see why SE may have taken a hint from the Xperia X10 and decided to equip their next flagship smartphone with a different OS i.e. Windows Phone 7.

Until Sony decides to release further information we can't do more than speculate. Care to throw us a bone Sony?
