Touch it or Not
This peculiar Aino design invites both praise and criticism. While mobile phones typical opt for either touchscreen all the way or not, you have the Aino that's a mix. For its multimedia functions, you get some functionality activated on the screen, making it a full touchscreen phone. For the rest of the functions, you need to work on the alphanumeric keys on its slider. A bit confusing but it can easily grow on you. This is not the first from Sony Ericsson. Remember the P990?
Remote Play
Now this is one feature that distinguished the Aino above the rest. Rather than putting this feature on an enhanced PSP, Sony has it on the Aino, making it the first mobile entertainment gadget to sport one. With it, you can seamlessly control your PS3 device. You do this over the internet and with its fast HSDPA/HSUIPA data connectivity, this becomes a breeze so you can enjoy streamed audio and video files from you PS3 anywhere on earth.
It’s a very great one that is good for old people or those who have problem with their eyesight. Also, it is good to browse the internet and see a lot of website from its touchscreen.
