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.

The Photo album in G900 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.
Picture blogging

well as browsing of video clips, for example,

dard.

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 72.
The Music player in G900 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 G900. Music
is grouped by Album, with album art being
displayed on the screen, by Artist or arranged in
user-created playlists.
