Not being in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress does make reporting on it slightly harder for us, but we shall endeavor to bring you the biggest news from the show over the next few days.

First up, the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini and Mini Pro Android packing handsets. Essentially miniature versions of the yet-to-be-released X10 device announced last year, both pack 2.55" QVGA touchscreens, 5MP cameras, Android 1.6 running on 600 MHz Qualcomm chips.

The Pro also packs a slide out QWERTY that doesn't look to add too much bulk to the diminutive frame is sports.
Both handsets will be cropping up in Q2, and their size coupled with an expectation they might be cheaper than other high-end devices, should make them a sure-fire hit (maybe if they shoehorn Android 2.1 in there for good measure by launch time as well).

Expect more information on them closer to launch.
