Sony Ericsson Will Shut Down Sync Services by December 29th

And just like that, the soon-to-be-phased out Sony Ericsson will be ending their legacy, Sync services. Sony Ericsson Sync was designed to give older Sony Ericsson phones, aka not smartphones, sync abilities.

 

Sony Ericsson Sync service since it was meant for old generation phones and our aim is to create a more enhanced and integrated smartphone experience for you

 

Sony Ericsson, which will be reborn next year under the Sony moniker, recommends that users switch to alternative services, such as Google Sync, Plaxo, and UNYK. We can’t imagine that this drop of service will affect too many users while we applaud the company for dropping outdated services and letting those who are better suited to offer such services, i.e. Google, to take on the cost of development and infrastructure.

Do you think it’s a good idea for Sony to shed older, less-used services in an effort to focus on their core services?
