Media

Media is a unified presentation for multimedia content like pictures, music, and video. The individual applications in Media can be run in either portrait view or landscape view.

Media is the result of the implementation of the successful XrossMediaBar concept, developed by Sony for its Playstations.

Photo Album

Note: For supported file formats, and more, see Pictures on page 69.

The Photo album in G900c is divided into:

Latest photo – the latest captured photo/video saved in the phone or on a memory card.

Camera album – photos and videos captured with a camera, presented in chronological order, by month.

Photo tags – this is where previously tagged photos can be viewed.

Pictures – pictures that are not captured with a camera, such as preloaded and downloaded pictures.

X-Pict Story™

Using X-Pict Story a user can create quality slide shows by easily combining pictures and music and adding professional transitions. The result is convincing!

Music player

Note: For supported file formats, and more, see Music player on page 66.

The Music player in G900c is similar to the Walkman® player used in Sony Ericsson W960, but it has been further-developed.

The keypad, the 5-way navigation key and the volume button are used to start and stop playback, switch tracks and adjust volume.

Songs may be collected in numerous ways, including Internet download and file transfer from PC.

The phone comes with the Media Manager PC program that supports the extracting of songs from CDs, compression and transfer to the phone. Thanks to the USB high-speed support, the transferring goes extremely quick (1 GB of data can be transferred in about three minutes).

Music can be further organized on the G900c. Music is grouped by Album, with album art being displayed on the screen, by Artist or arranged in user-created playlists.

The player also automatically generates playlists based on, for example, the most or least played songs.

The Music player features an equalizer with predefined settings like Mega Bass™, Pop and Classical.

The Music player is intelligently aware of other applications in G900c. Playback is automatically paused when a telephone call is made or received.
