Sony Ericsson just released Software Development Kit for its hot Xperia X1 Smartphone. The Xperia X1 can be fully customized and personalized through its nine panel user interface. Content can be accessed quickly and directly through its touch screen that sits on top of its Windows Mobile 6.1 OS and applications can be easily switched by touching one of the unique customizable panels.

Developers can get Windows Mobile SDK free of charge to produce a wide variety of panels to meet the consumer’s demand for a rich, individualized multimedia experience on their phone — everything from search engines to social networking apps, all easy-access through the panels.

The XPERIA X1 is a cool looking arc slider phone with integrated QWERTY keyboard and 3 inch W-VGA (800×480px) touchscreen.
Additionally the XPERIA X1 lets you interact in four different ways: Touch, full QWERTY keyboard, 4-way key and optical joystick.
Other features of the XPERIA X1 include HSDPA, Wifi, 3.2MP camera, aGPS, Bluetooth, FM radio, music player, video player, 400MB internal memory, and microSD card slot.
