Just a few days ago, Sony Ericsson updated its Windows Mobile panels SDK to version 1.0.5 (still a beta, though). The updated version now adds support for the brilliant OpenGL ES, which means the XPERIA panels can now be hardware accelerated. The X1 has a very powerful graphics processor, and I can’t wait to see the results of this new release.
You can read a lot more about the new release over at Sony Ericsson’s Developer World, where you can also download it for free, so you can start developing panels for the X1. Alternatively, you can press this link, and we’ll hook you up the triple W-way!

Sony Ericsson recently announced that it will support the brand new JavaFX Mobile platform in its upcoming phones. JavaFX makes it possible to extend the usability of Java ME.

“We see JavaFX as a natural fit to our mobile software platform strategy to enable developers, both in-house and in our ecosystem, to create superior, innovative, expressive mobile applications and services. Sony Ericsson expects that JavaFX will have a great impact on the mobile content ecosystem and plan to bring JavaFX to a significant part of our product portfolio.”

It seems like it’s taken Sony Ericsson forever to get the X1 ready. But finally, we’ve got some news - a closed X1 launch webcast is due in roughly two weeks, and a few days ago the XPERIA SDK was published at Sony Ericsson’s developer site, with the press release being published yesterday.
The SDK (software development kit) will allow developers to create their very own XPERIA panels, and test them out in an emulator on the computer. You can check out all the documentation and features of the XPERIA SDK for Windows Mobile over at Sony Ericsson’s developer website. The download is 9.1 megabytes, and can be downloaded directly here.

Sony Ericsson’s Developer World website has just been revamped with an entirely new look. The site now focuses a lot more on the latest news, latest tools and documents, latest forum threads, etc. You can even rate the articles and pages now, although I’m not quite sure it’ll do any good on a developer website. Anyway, the option is there for you to use!
The phone database has been updated quite a lot as well. You can now perform searches based on features, such as by software platform, screen resolution or various developer capabilities. It’s all very neat, and works a charm.
The update goes for both the English and the Chinese site, so do check them out!
[thanks Xell for the heads-up]
