SONY pending announcements -- UPDATED

This article from Android Headlines strikes a significantly different tone than most of the other leak and new device articles I see. (I look at a LOT of them.) This has a distinctly different tone, and I suspect the author knows more than is being written about here. Android Headlines is also a source I take more seriously than most.

My guess, based on this and other things I've read through is that the MPCL1 will be introduced in August, be featured at IFA (possibly even at GamesCom from August 5-9) and available for sale as we've read elsewhere in October.

As stockholders, the attention this new technology gets will soon be worth more to us than company earnings. I think we'll get both.

UPDATE AGAIN:

According to Sony, “Something golden is sparkling on the horizon.” Unfortunately apart from that rather cryptic message, we have no idea what Sony is going on about. It is possible that they might be referring to a new smartphone color option which wouldn’t be surprising, especially since gold seems to be the in thing in terms of color options these days.

It has been speculated that Sony’s recent tweets might have something to do with a new product announcement. After all it was tweeted by Sony’s Xperia Twitter account which is related to mobile devices, so safe to say that this will be a mobile-related announcement. We have been speculating that it could be for new handsets.

So far we have been hearing about devices like the Sony Xperia Z5 and the Sony Xperia C5 Ultra, but it is entirely possible it would be another device entirely. It might even be software related although we’re hoping that it’ll be a new smartphone. In any case all will be revealed on the 3rd of August, so check back with us next week for the details.

UPDATE: Just noticed this in ifreepress. This is very unusual language for these kinds of articles. I read two or three of these a day and scan a dozen others. This is NOT normal, so I really believe that something is up.

"It’s only a tiny amount of patience we need to muster until August 3, when the announcement is scheduled for, but then again Sony might surprise us and reveal something entirely different."

We haven’t seen any info regarding it thus far, so… who knows. Either way, we’ll find out what’s what soon enough. 

So, according to the available info (leaks), Sony will launch devices on both August 3rd and 18th.
