Clove Technology, a UK online retailer, is the first to bring us details on this amazing device, announced last week in Berlin at IFA. Clove announced on their blog that the device should start shipping out on September 26, and will come in two flavors: “midnight blue” and “pure white.”

If you’ve yet to hear about this device, here are the specs, which can be found on the official device website:

Entertainment at the speed of delight

Why wait to be entertained? Start the camera. Now shoot and save your best snaps super quick. The 1.4GHz turbo processor does everything at the speed of, well, delight. So download and play games, browse the web and watch videos, instead of watching them load.

Scenes that pop out of the screen. In 3D

Straddle the peaks. Dive into the depths. Make your breathtaking mountain panoramas look, well, breathtaking. Select Sony’s 3D Sweep Panorama and catch the scene. Now amaze your mates and show it on a 3D TV.

Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine

Enhanced contrast. Richer colours. Less image noise. The Reality Display with Mobile BRAVIA® Engine makes the super-wide, 4.2″, LED back-lit screen sharp and crisp. And through reduced light reflection, the picture stays clear when you’re outdoors, too.
BRAVIA is a registered trademark of Sony Corporation.
