Xperia™ X2 to be announced today at IFA

// September 2nd, 2009 // 52 Comments » // UNCATEGORIZED

It’s official – the X2 will be coming to the first few selected markets early in Q4. We’re in the final stages of talks with the various operators right now and will have more news re: which markets and which operators in the coming weeks.

The handset is the first of our second generation Xperia devices and will be the first to ship with the new Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system. It’ll also come packing an 8.1 megapixel camera, a 4Gb micro SD memory card and 13 pre-loaded panels.

We’ll be publishing the full list of specs later today along with some videos (and will update this with a link when we have.) You can also check out our Flickr account for some product shots) and follow our Twitter stream for some live coverage of Sony’s press conference later today.

Firstly, apologies for the delay – there were some last minute changes to the arrangements which meant that the original announcement had to be put back.

The Xperia X1 will be available in the 43 Sony Style stores across the US on November 28. The pre-orders will begin on the 13th via the Sony Style website.

CNET has posted an in-depth review of the phone here, it includes an excellent high quality video and I recommend you check it out.

New version of the SDK now available

// October 22nd, 2008 // 11 Comments » // UNCATEGORIZED

We’ve had a great reception to the first version of the Xperia SDK, in the first couple of days it was downloaded literally thousands of times and the initial feedback we’ve had has been really positive. In this update, we’ve added support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 development environment and the Microsoft Vista OS as well as added key mapping support to the device emulator and the testing and debugging is easier.

On top of that, we are releasing the SDK as Beta and taking a more open and agile approach so we can dramatically increase the rate of innovation and deliver more of the features requested by the developer community sooner.

There’s still plenty of time for you to submit panels for the 2008 content awards and we’re particularly interested in hearing from people who can use the panels interface to improve the usability of a developed application.

You can download the new SDK here, and I’d very much recommend that you upgrade if you are already running the previous one.

Please keep the ideas coming and thank you for your involvement so far!
