Sony Ericsson Beta SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1

Sony Ericsson Beta SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1 proves to be a comprehensive and effective solution that comes in handy for developers and content makers to quickly develop, test and deploy native panels for the Xperia X1.
Also, it contains intuitive and practical tools and plugins that allow users to test Xperia Native and Web (HTML) panels with OpenGL ES support.

Create Xperia Panels for the Xperia X1 phone using a secure environment

Considering that personalization is one of the most disputed topic in the mobile industry, average users, as well as developers, do need tools that allow them to customize their mobile desktop screen with their favorite content.
Since they come with support for both HTML and Microsoft Visual Studio, Xperia Panels provide users with an intuitive canvas for deployment, irrespective of the content they want to insert.
These panels are highly configurable, allowing the user to add, remove or change them according to their needs. Additionally, new panels can be selected from the proper list or downloaded. CNN, Growing Panel, YouTube, Facebook, Today Screen and Lifestyle are amongst the fewest panels that can be accessed via the Settings button.

Convert an existing application into an Xperia Panel

Another important feature of Sony Ericsson Beta SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1 is the Penalizer utility that contains four tools you can make use of in order to convert a Flash or Java program, as well as an existing .exe or .net app into a Panel - Flash Panelizer, Java Panelizer, EXE Panelizer and NET Panelizer.
Each of them enables a third-party application developer to package together the Panel Flash or Java Player for use on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X2 phone.
Still, the first two panelizers are standalone tools and do not require Microsoft Visual Studio, while the last two ones are pre-built DLL libraries that help you to create a Panel installation package for a native executable program installed on the mobile device.

Build and test Xperia Panels on your computer

After creating the desired Panels, you surely want to test them in order to analyze their functionality.
The Xperia X1 Emulator stays at your disposal each time you want to run, develop and debug Xperia Panels locally on your PC. What’s more, because of the seamlessly integration with Microsoft Visual Studio, developers can make use of predefined components in order to start their Panel projects with few mouse clicks.
