XPERIA™ Panels
XPERIA™ panels are always one click away, and with simple touch selection, applications are placed at the center of the user experience. With the Sony Ericsson Panel SDK for X2 it’s now easier than ever before to create Panels. New Panelizer tools enable you to quickly make Panels not only from native applications, but also Flash, Java and Project Capuchin.
