Like the perfect little black dress needs great four-inch heels for its wearer to work a room, great gadgets also need the right accessories.

 

To accompany its Google Android-laced XPERIA X10 handset, announced today, Sony Ericsson (News - Alert) has also introduced a new wireless stereo headset with a built-in FM Radio and advanced Bluetooth technology. Called the MW600, the headset lets users stream music to the headset in high fidelity through sound-enhancing ear buds.

 

The headset also features a “crystal clear” OLED display, easy-access controls and RDS radio station information, so “you don’t even need to take your phone with you to tune in to your favorite radio station,” Sony Ericsson said in a press release.

 

Available in early 2010, the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 is being hailed by its maker as the first in a family of phones to deliver a consistent user experience where communication “truly becomes entertainment.” The X10 will be the first handset to rely on Sony Ericsson’s new UX platform, which will evolve and expand over time with new features and capabilities.

 

Sony Ericsson’s handset and accompanying headset face stiff competition in 2010, but on a positive note, Strategy Analytics has forecasted that the handset industry may return to growth in the fourth quarter of 2009. The rate of decline was slower than the previous quarter, as the market edged toward recovery, the research firm reported.
