Sony Ericsson Welcome Apple to the handset market

While Apple's iPhone is set to hit the US market in two months, Sony Ericsson have said they are not worried about potential lost sales and they welcome their new competitor.

Mats Lindoff, Sony Ericsson's CTO commented that if there are only five brands in the worldwide handset market, the market will be too monotone. He highlighted that the company already stands firm in the Walkman handset market and most of Sony Ericsson's high-end handsets support 3G services. The fact that Apple's iPhone is not able to support 3G will become a disadvantage for the company, Lindoff pointed out.
