Finally, the 2008 Sony Ericsson Content Awards are here. This year we hope to build on the success of last years event, and make the Content Awards 2008 even bigger and better.

One of the key goals of the 2008 Content Awards is to reward innovative and useful Panels for the X1 that make use of Xperia’s capabilities to deliver a better mobile experience. Our growing developer community will be an absolutely key part of creating better mobile experiences that attract mobile users around the world.

Developers can open up a world of possibilities for people to interact with the Xperia X1 and we want to recognize and support developers who build great Panels for it.

Here are some suggested areas of focus to get you started:

* Location based services
* Social networking
* New and exciting, intuitive and innovative user interfaces
* Productivity and collaboration such as email, instant messaging, etc.
* Use of widget functionality
* News and information aggregation

You can download the SDK here and jump start your Panel development.
