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.

penasaran ama X2 knp kalah laku ama adeknya X10.....

X2 gw dengan rom baru kayaknya dah ok neh,dari sejak kemaren siang update sampai pagi ini gw posting tulisan ini normal2 aja,ga ada lag,loncatanya juga lumayan cepat.Tapi tetep bug yg lama msh ada, itu soundnya,skalipun sdh disetting misal u/ ring sms,mms,emal,incomming call dll, pada waktunya tetep yg bunyi ring standar defaultnya,kenapa ya?

^

selama pake X2 belum pernah ada problem dengan soundnya.

Breaking News:

Setelah update FW baru, hasilnya SANGAT memuaskan!!!!!! (^_____________________^)
LAG & HANGnya hampir musnah (lag nya masih bisa ditoleransi). Perubahan tampilan sangat bagus dari yg sebelumnya. Pokoknya PUASSSSSSS . Gak perlu malu lagi kalau temen mau liat x2 saya.
Semoga update FW berikutnya lebih mantap lagiiiiiii.

Prikitiwwwwwwww.......

Fhuh... kalo inget lg cerita semasa x2 gw masih pakai rom lama,gw kadang2 ikut2n hang gara2 di rumah bini gw ngomelin,ngledekin,bilang x2 gw abal-abal-lah dsb.pokoknya diledekin abis pokoknya,gw dengn sabar saban hari nengokin link ini [tautan dihapus] sampai akhirnya datang juga. Sekarang gw sudah brani lagi pamerin x2 gw di rumah,pokoknya T.O.P deh. Btw kalau kita mo rubah regional setting ke Indonesia gmn caranya ya?

wkwkwkwkwk....stylus saya hilang....tapi gpp yg penting FW terbarunya X2 TOP!

bro @Speed05 ikut berduka deh atas kehilangan sylusnya,gpp kata master willy ntar wm versi 6.5.5 tapnya sudah bisa menggunakan jari tangan dengan leluasa,skalipun tanpa stylus.

Duuh..lama bgt ga login ke FP, udah bnyk berubah...smp bingung liat interface-nya.

Nyari thread diskusi X2 ga ktmu, ktmunya ini. Kalo salah kamar, tlg dipindah aja. Mau tanya n sharing sedikit.

1. Koq di kabel datanya ada tulisan prototype? Apa semua begitu atau jgn2 X2 yg gw beli mmg yg msh prototype?

2. Firmware X2 awal, ga bisa Videocall n ga ada aplikasi FB. Gw coba update Firmware via SEUS, menjelang finish ada notifikasi kalo update failed (udah coba beberapa x tetep aja failed). Tapi begitu gw nyalain, ada proses customizing Win Mobile-nya dan tampilan panel X2 gw berubah. Udah bisa Videocall dan ada aplikasi FB. Tapi koq kyknya jd kurang nyaman. Respon touch, Load aplikasi dan perpindahan menu/jendela jd sering lambat. Yg lmyn mngganggu Gw set time region-nya ke GMT+7(Bangkok, Hanoi), pas udah save change tetep aja balik ke GMT London, Dublin. Walhasil jam yg ada di sms selalu ngaco. Ada yg pernah ngalamin?

Aku baru pake X2 seminggu udh bt bngt . bener2 nyebelin gara2 sering hang .. ujung2 nya aku jual lg meski cm dapet 2,8jt . Skrg balik lg pake hp jadulku w890i ..biar jadul tp ga makan hati he..he..

^
Beuh 2,8 jt!?
Ga sayang bro, udah coba upgrade softwarenya?
Kalo masalah hang itu harusnya masalah software, yang mungkin suatu saat nanti bisa diantisipasi..

X1/X2 mmg banyak cerita hang-nya.

bah kalo mw jual 2,8 jta kmrn2 gw bli.pasti jualna dcounter.

iya bro .w jual ke counter dengan berat hati . Skrg lagi menimbang2 pengen nyobain produk sebelah . Bingung antara iphone 3gs atau samasung galaxy i9000 .Dilema bngt ga tau bagusan yg mana . ada yg bisa bantu kasih pencerahan ga ?sent ke in box aja klu ga bisa di bahas disini he..he.. thanks
