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.
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.
This is a web portal and WAP service that offers downloads for
Sony Ericsson phones.
With the focus on fun and entertainment,
people are presented with exciting ringtones, images, video clips,
wallpapers, themes, animated content and games.
Content varies with country and geographical region, but the portal has a mix of branded, premium and free downloads, as well as on-line tools and services.
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 autmatically sync the contacts, text messages, photos, videos, calls, and settings from their phones to a private cloud-based account, poviding 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.
