Sony Ericsson this week launches the Panel SDK in a drive to encourage developers to create content for the new Xperia X2. 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.
“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.”
