Sony Ericsson Xperia Play delays: 'supply chain issues' blamed


Sony Ericsson Xperia Play
The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play will be released today at a string of mobile stores, including Orange and Carphone Warehouse, although the mobile maker has admitted that it’s been suffering from “supply chain issues”, meaning some networks won’t have the phones from the get go.

Yesterday, Three and Vodafone followed O2 in delaying the Xperia Play’s release. The latter is the only one to have claimed the problems with the phone are down to software bugs rather than problems getting the devices into the UK.

Sony Ericsson’s UK MD, Nathan Vautier, told the Telegraph that the mobile, known unofficially as the PlayStation phone, 

would be up for grabs “market wide” today.

The Xperia Play’s delays have grabbed plenty of headlines and the phone has received mixed reviews, with its design and build being called into question. Are you getting an Xperia Play

Not comfortable with nudity: Priyanka Chopra

Mumbai , April 30 - Though she has portrayed many bold characters on the  silver screen , Bollywood actress  Priyanka Chopra says she is not comfortable with nudity in films. The 28-year-old, who has done steamy scenes in films like "Andaaz", "Aitraaz" and "Fashion" among others, says that among the few things that she would not indulge in would be nudity. "Nudity is something that I wouldn't be comfortable with. Even if I  play  the most complex and weird parts which are raunchy or whatever it has to be, the portrayal of a  character  is to a point where it is aesthetically done. It has to be something that I won't be averse to showing my parents. I have to be able to sit with them  and watch  it. "Even if it's a film like 'Saat Khoon Maaf', the  thought  of the scenes was a lot more than what was actually seen. And that is aesthetically well done," Priyanka, who was part of a youth forum organised by MTV, told repor

She had written a letter to Pawar requesting him to restore the status-quo and allow the electronic media to report on the event as was the case earlier.
