It looks like Google’s open-source Android OS is the hottest thing in the mobile industry these days, with more and more companies considering an Android-based handset. Same goes for the Swedes at Sony Ericsson who are rumored to be working on a “very” high-end touchscreen handset — an XPERIA number codenamed Rachael.
Meant for debut later this year, Sony Ericsson Rachael (not Rachel) is expected to run on a very high-end 1GHZ Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, would boast HSPA-speeds up to 7.2 Mbps, a built-in 8 megapixel camera with autofocus, a 3.5 jack and a mini-USB connector. Other than all these, Sony Ericsson’s Android smartphone comes complete with a rather large WVGA touchscreen (800 x 480 pixels), will use Android 2.0 and should offer “great” 3D graphics capabilities that will help take on Apple’s new iPhone 3G S.

There are no clues on when the new Sony Ericsson Rachael is going to be available or how much you’ll have to rope for owning one, but we game for getting our hands on it for some fun.
