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.

Sori nih masih newbie...

kalo diCompare di GSMArena Antara X1 & X2
[tautan dihapus]
paling mencolok tu Kamera & OS.
Dengan Range Harga yang lumayan Jauh apakah X2 pantas dibeli ???

Hrmmm sebagai pengguna X1, gw cuma pengen bilang. Perbedaan yg paling mencolok antara X1 & X2 ntu cuma di Kamera & Accelerometer. OSnya malah bih enak pake Winmo 6.5 racikan bro williyung secara OS asli dari X2 final yg udah beredar saat ini masih yg build lama

^
Kalo build qualitynya gimana?
Kan yang bikin beda pabrik tuh..

*Berharap semakin baik..

menurut gw (pandangan orang yg belum pake xperia) cukup layak dibeli!!

karena beberapa point yg emang lebih bgus dr X1!!
antara laen:
1. OSnya udah Winmo 6.5 (wlopun ga ada perubahan yg signifikan)
2. stereo speaker
3. UInya yg lebih atraktif
4. ada acelerometer
5. media playernya lebih oke kerana ada EQ
6. kamera yg lebih canggih setara W995
7. videonya lebih oke kerana udah WVGA
8. desain yg lebih manis, ga lagi kaku kek X1
9. desain keyboard kek keyboard laptop, lebih nyaman dan ergonomic
10. dan ini semoga saja BQnya lebih bandel ketibang X1

Cukup banyak juga kelebihan dari X2 dibanding X1

#ngarep

kayaknya gw udah positif milih X2 deh, rencana desember 2010, menanti di harga <5jt!!

do'akan semoga tercapai!!
