Finally some good news coming out of Sony Ericsson today; The Xperia X10 will officially get an upgrade to Android 2.1 later this year (Q4 2010) and receive a couple of new features too:

Some examples of user benefits that will be included in the UXP upgrade for Xperia™ X10 in Q4 2010 are:
– Upgrade to Android OS version 2.1
– HD video recording as per the same execution as Sony Ericsson Vivaz™
– Wireless home connectivity via DLNA
– Improvements to signature applications Timescape™ and Mediascape to make them even smarter and richer

HD- Video (720P) recording hopefully means that HTC will also deliver on its promises…remember that HTC told me a couple of months ago that DivX playback and HD video will be enabled on the HTC Desire with a future update…Anyway, SE is also announcing that the Xperia Mini and Xperia Mini Pro will also be updated to Android 2.1 in Q4 2010.
