Sony Ericsson releases Xperia sliding panels SDK
By WC Staff last updated

For you dev (and adventurous) types out there, Sony Ericsson has released the software development kit for the still-unreleased Xperia X1 (opens in new tab).
What's in store?
Developers can use the Windows Mobile SDK, free of charge, to produce a wide variety of panels to meet the consumer’s demand for a rich, individualized multimedia experience on their phone. Users of the Xperia™ X1 will be spoilt for choice as they personalize their handset with panel applications to suit their mood and lifestyle. Whether it is a search engine, advanced calendar or social networking application, music or film catalogue, sports or news related content, the panels enable you to access any information – quickly and directly – with a simple tap on the 3” super high resolution touch screen.
So while you still can't get your hands on the phone, you can get a head start on customizing it.
Read the full press release here (opens in new tab); get the SDK here (opens in new tab); and check out a video with Ramanth Bhat, senior manager of application and product planning, speaking about the sliding panels interface, after the jump.
