Sony Ericsson late last week showed off the Yari mobile phone, which has a strong gaming and multimedia focus. Nothing to hold, nothing to twist – except your body – gesture gaming technology gives users a unique gaming experience no matter where they are. With a variety of games to choose from, whether you want to keep fit and stay in shape or just want to beat your best score at tennis or boxing, Yari brings you fun wherever you are.
And with Yari there’s always a new game to play. In addition to gesture games, there is a mix of pre loaded motion and standard games. Yari introduces a games carousel that allows you to access all your games from your desktop and to browse downloadable content on PlayNow arena. You can view content by category and choose to browse free or premium content – so no matter your preferences there’s one to suit you.
