A document that was leaked from the IFA Show in Berlin earlier this month seems to show the future of Sony Ericsson’s X10 devices.

Xperia X10 users will be happy to see a number of great features that are being planned for all X10 devices and the X8. These include:

720P Video Recording
5 Home Screens
HTML5
Android 2.1

Following this update there seems to be a second one planned which is dubbed as 2.1X on this document. This seems to say that Sony Ericsson are planning on adapting Android 2.1 further with their on software. These enhancments a new Timescape and Mediascape.

Something that will disappoint Xperia owners here is that it seems they will not be seeing Android 2.2 on their devices any time soon.

To be fair – just cos you can’t see it on that sheet of paper dont meen it don’t exist, This is not proof that 2.2 will not happen. You cannot prove something by not showing it.

It is also possible that that “roadmap” was written before 2.2 was release. The X10 was first revealed (but not released) in late 2009, 2.2 came out in May 2010. So if that was a document a while back I would expect it NOT to mention 2.2

The assumptions are based on Sony Ericssons poor track record with updates as well as the X10′s lacking in power in comparison against phones like the Desire, Nexus One, or the Evo 4G.

Sorry if I struck a nerve. Sometimes we Android users have to face up to the fact that carriers and manufactures are not going to get the updates we want to us quickly.
