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.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 to be delayed until January 2010

We don't know what kind of curse has been put on Sony Ericsson but troubles at the company just don't end. The latest information that we received states that their Windows Mobile flagship X2 will be delayed until January 2010.
After the suspension of the Sony Ericsson Satio sales in the UK and the touchscreen issues that the Aino had, the XPERIA X2 was the company last hope for the Christmas shopping spree.
According to the Vodafone website however it will only be available in January, when the market is certainly not going to be as favorable. It will then be joined by the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 in the struggle to keep the Swedish-Japanese company on its feet but we suspect it might be a bit too late.

With everyone waiting for a host of new announcements at the MWC in Februrary, Q1 is certainly not the best time to try and sell your flagships. Granted, most new handsets won't come to the market until at least Q2 but in the high-end mobile phones segment sometimes users are willing to wait a little if they're promised better bang for their buck.
Sony Ericsson have obviously forgotten their lesson from the the late release of the original X1 and the Satio.

barusan lihat windows 7 roadshow ternyata ada beberapa hp dipajang antara lain xperia x2 (silver dan hitam), acer be touch e101 dan e100, samsung b7330 dan b7320, dan yg paling buggy sementara x2, mbaknya spg bilang masih prototype. tp yg samsung dan acer dah lancar jaya tuh... mungkin alasan firmware belum matang jd penundaan launching benar adanya. dan yg jelas saya tanya masalah potongan harga dll mlh dijawab blm ada yg dijual, dlm waktu dekat ini katanya. asumsi saya seluruh windows phone baru dijual di Indonesia awal 2010

waduh
g sempet nyoba laudspeaker.
mungkin om bagus dah coba...

jujur klo bahan pembuatnya terasa lbh mantap x1, krn unsur metalnya lebih banyak walau plastiknya x1 gampang retak, keypad jls lbh enak x2. klo slidingnya lbh halus x2, cuma saat nutup saya coba goyang atas bawah masih goyang tp sgt sedikit (wajar x1 jg begitu, bahkan 5730 lbh parah), klo suara gak nyoba krn layarnya disentuh aja gak respon2... lagian rame he..he.. mau coba apalagi nanti aku coba klo sempet kesana lagi

X2 to be launched in January

// December 10th, 2009 // ANNOUNCEMENTS, X2, X2 News

Hi All – Over the last couple of weeks there has been a few, OK more than a few rumours that the X2 is going to be delayed until January and I’m sure it will not come as a surprise when we say that these are well founded.

The software worked fine but when we started integrating it with some of the network specific apps it threw up a few issues which we’re working to fix.

It’s all minor tweaks really (extending the battery life and speeding up aspects of the software), but we want to be sure that when we ship this it is as good as it should be and that you don’t have to constantly upgrade the software as we iron out these wrinkles.

So… we’re launching first week of January. Really sorry if you were looking forward to getting hold of one before then but it will be worth it when we get there.

Thanks for your continued interest in the site.
