'Next Xperia' announcement countdown clock already down to three days

Sony Mobie's countdown clock for its new Xperia smartphone has counted down more than eight days in the past 24 hours. The clock, launched yesterday on the manufacturer's Facebook page, allows customers to speed up the announcement for Sony's next big thing (we're expecting the LT29i "Hayabusa") by clicking a "fast forward" button, signing up to win the device, and sharing the page with friends. Each click apparently takes 20 seconds off the countdown.

Right now the clock stands at just over three days, though if the past day's developments are any indication, we'll be hearing about Sony's new device much, much sooner.
