today is the Yari, a motion-gaming handset that brings Wii-style games to a mobile handset. Yari sensors hidden in its bezel to recognize body movement, together with accelerometers and gesture controls. There’s also a new Gaming Carousel menu, with access to downloadable games from the desktop.As you might expect, it’s the special movement-tracking gaming that prompts the biggest smiles, but there’s still some love spared for the 5-megapixel camera with autofocus.
the Yari supports UMTS 3G and quadband GSM. There’s also A-GPS, Bluetooth and a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, face detection and geotagging. No Xenon flash, but there is a video light. New games will be distributed via the Sony Ericsson PlayNow arena.
The Yari comes complete with a portable stand – which can be used to hold the handset upright while playing games – together with Bluetooth A2DP support, a full-fledged media player, internet browsing courtesy of Access’ NetFront and Google Maps
