New submission date for Xperia Panels: January 30, 2009
The Xperia Panels category in the Sony Ericsson Content Awards 2008 is now open for submissions until January 30, 2009 giving you more time to get creative. In this category we challenge you to create Xperia Panels for the Sony Ericsson X1 phone using the Sony Ericsson Beta SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1.
Entries to the Xperia Panels category are invited from any developer, both companies and individuals, who develop a panel for the Xperia X1.
The Panel category winner will be announced at Mobile World Congress and featured in Sony Ericsson events at the show. In addition, they will be invited to an exclusive two day workshop and presentation at the Sony Ericsson headquarters in Lund, Sweden where they will present their projects to top Sony Ericsson executives and spend one-on-one time with several senior Sony Ericsson directors to discuss new joint business ventures.
Xperia Panel examples
To help inspire you, here are three examples from Sony Ericsson’s partners: Facebook, Microsoft Windows Live and Dashwire. These panels are available for download from Sony Ericsson’s Fun & Downloads web site.
Facebook
The new Facebook application uses the Xperia X1 interface to deliver an intuitive version of the site, putting images of your friends onto your phone’s desktop (standby screen) and showing their latest status updates as you touch their images.
New functions available through the Xperia X1 Facebook panel include:
An entirely new visual representation of friends’ statuses
Simple and fast upload of photos to Facebook
Easy access to Facebook friends list and phone numbers, with click to call capabilities
Microsoft Windows Live
The Windows Live panel uses existing Windows Live ID to sync contacts held in the X1’s phonebook, and the panel will provide easy access to an intuitive Microsoft messenger interface, including Hotmail and Live Messenger.
The panel gives end-users access to the Windows Live Search function, which is tailored to mobile phones and can be voice activated and controlled. Other Windows Live services will be incorporated into the panel throughout the year.
Dashwire
The Dashwire panel seamlessly synchronizes the X1 and the content it captures with the end-user's computer and the web.
Dashwire's free service helps users automatically sync the contacts, text messages, photos, videos, calls, and settings from their phones to a private cloud-based account, providing them with access to their information when in front of a computer or on-the-go using their Xperia X1, and making it easy for end-users to do things like backup their contacts, send text messages from the web, and share their photos and videos with friends and social sites like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, FriendFeed, and Bebo.

About Xperia Panels
Xperia Panels introduce a unique, more distinct way of interacting with content through the phone's UI, allowing end-users to personalize their desktop screen.
Xperia Panels can be Native or Web (HTML) and are lightweight applications that extend the Today Screen API in order to provide a full-screen, immersive experience giving a configurable, finger-tip navigation to access different options through panels displayed on the phone's desktop.
Xperia Panel testing criteria
Mobile2Market is the Microsoft certification program for testing and signing Windows Mobile applications and should be used for Windows Mobile applications for the Sony Ericsson X1.
However, the testing and signing of Xperia Panels is different and panels should not be certified though the Mobile2Market program. Sony Ericsson Developer World has an overview document presenting the different criteria for testing and certifying Xperia Panels.
