Sony Ericsson puts developers at the centre of user experience with XPERIA™ X2

02 September 2009

New streamlined development tool maximises revenue opportunities and allows developers to create the first Windows Mobile® 6.5 applications for the XPERIA™ X2

Lund, Sweden – September 2, 2009 – Sony Ericsson launches the Panel SDK in a drive to encourage developers to create content for the XPERIA™ X2. The eye-catching interface includes a new range of interactive Panels on the home screen offering business, fun and communication features. By providing unparalleled real estate and marketing visibility, the Panel interface makes the developer central to the user experience.

The Panel SDK includes a Panelizer which turns existing Flash, Java and Windows Mobile® applications into Panels for the XPERIA™ X2, and a native software development kit which allows developers to be the first to create panels for the Windows Mobile® 6.5 platform.

Using the Panelizer, developers are able to maximise the investments they have already made creating compelling applications. In just a couple of clicks and with no separate tool purchase, the Panelizer gives developers a low-cost way to turn their content into the unique Sony Ericsson Panel experience. Panels are then just one touch away from the consumer’s home screen, allowing developers to truly shape the user’s mobile entertainment experience.

Besides supporting Panels and native applications, the XPERIA™ X2 is also equipped with a Java Runtime that makes Java/Capuchin applications run as well integrated as native applications.

Applications accepted as panels will be made available on Sony Ericsson’s market place, PlayNow™ arena, giving developers access to an even wider range of consumers using other Sony Ericsson handsets. Developers from around the world also benefit from the 70% net revenue share offered by PlayNow™ arena, which is available in 18 countries.

“Putting developers’ applications directly in front of consumers is a crucial focus for us,” says Christopher David, Head of Developer and Partner Engagement at Sony Ericsson. “We created the Panel SDK to streamline the development process, minimising the time it takes to get applications directly to the consumer and providing developers with additional revenue opportunities.”

How it works

Developers can submit their applications by following these simple steps:

* Go to Sony Ericsson’s Developer World website [tautan dihapus]

* Download the Panel SDK and follow the short Panel SDK tutorial

* Go to [tautan dihapus] and upload ‘Panelized’ applications

* Within 30 days the submission approval process will be complete. Successful applications are automatically available for wider usage on PlayNow™ arena.

nah ada sedikit masalah rupanya si vulcan ini.
pertama: masalah mendasar untuk seri xperia BATRE!
batrenya cukup boros,soalnya kmaren abs d charge sampe penuh, ane utak-atik seharian
batrenya udh hrs di charge lg.

Hmm, memang begitu bro semua device Winmo bukan boros batere, tapi minum batere. Hal itu karena sistemnya sendiri memang rada boros.

Quote:

kedua: udh ngalamin lag 2 kali, layarnya diem trus, dipencet semua tombol jg ga berubah2.
akhirnya terpaksa cabut batre >.<!

Penyakit SE bro. Masalah firmware. Kalau bisa jangan keseringan copot batt. Kalau memang sudah rada parah, baru deh copot batt. Kalau biasa2 atau jalannya rada lambat di turn off, baru on lagi,
Oh yah, jangan kebanyakan multi task, kalau sudah lambat, ke setting terus task manager, buat untuk 'END" in semua aplikasi.

Hehe..bro ada2 aja, justru awal thread X1, bro yg jd dosennya...termsk gw yg byk baca & belajar dr postingan bro...

Tp mmg sejak diport stuff X2, rata2 rom cook-nya jd ga stabil/sering hang...pusing nyari solusinya, ga taunya asli-nya jg gampang hang
Mmg susah bro utk porting rom X2, ternyt ga segampang yg dibygkn pd awalnya, biarpn chipset-nya sama, mslh utama-nya X2 bukan buatan HTC lg, semua registrasi jd beda, trus X2 jg menggunakan DRM system & video codec yg berbeda dgn X1...
