Sony Xperia M $249.99 in US markets Sep 10th 2013, 14:02, by Jess Blanchard We’ve got a little more Xperia news for you this morning. The Sony Xperia M, which launched in Europe and Asia just a few weeks ago, is now on sale in the US. The Sony store and Newegg both list the device as in-stock for $249.99. The Sony store offers the device in black, white, yellow and purple, but it appears Newegg currently only has the black option available. The device is compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile in the US and Rogers and Fido in Canada. While the device is steadfastly mid-range, it incorporates many of the same pleasing design elements as Sony’s flagship device. The Xperia M would make an excellent beginner phone and would be a solid choice for parents looking to outfit their teenagers in tech on a budget. And it’s always exciting to see a phone hit this side of the pond when it was least expected. Specs for the Xperia M include: - 4.88 x 2.44 x 0.37 inches

- USB High speed 2.0 and MicroUSB support

| What is this tiny purple thing? Is it the Xperia Z1 mini? Sep 10th 2013, 13:37, by Jess Blanchard It’s been rumored that Sony is working on a mini version of the Honami, or as we now know it, the Xperia Z1. And just because there was no mention of a mini at IFA doesn’t mean it still couldn’t happen. According to Digi-wo, this is the Xperia Z1 mini in purple. Purportedly, the device will feature a 4.3-inch 720p display, Snapdragon 800, 2GB RAM, 8GB internal storage and the same 20.7MP CMOS G Lens camera as the Xperia Z1. The source claims the phone will be released at CES 2014. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but those thousand words could all be a bunch of lies. It’s not hard to fake an image. As always, take rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism and a cautious touch of hopefulness. | 2013 Nexus 7 32GB LTE now available!
