Sony Ericsson has just made two important announcements! The company has revealed a brand new device, the 3G USB modem, and it has announced that it has also extended its relationship with Google Inc. by making public its first mobile phone with Google Maps and RSS newsfeeds as standard. The both moves should bring even more joy for Sony Ericsson’s devices’ users.

The MD-300 USB modem is obviously HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access) and it features the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) and quad-band GSM, as Helene Barnekow, Sony Ericsson’s marketing chief, said. Barnekow made also public that the brand new modem is self-installing, that it represents also a 128 MB memory stick and that it contains its own Mac and Windows drivers, as well as the settings for no less than 170 mobile networks from all over the world.

Sony Ericsson targets two types of audiences with its brand new MD-300 USB modem. Sony Ericsson expects its modem to sell first of all to the companies for mobile use and secondly to the consumers for wireless broadband in their homes, where such a modem brings the consumers the advantage of getting broadband without having to wait for cabling and equipment to be installed.

Sony Ericsson has also announced two new Walkman models, as well as several upgraded peripherals, which includes also headsets and loudspeakers.
