XPERIA @ CTIA

Just back from a hectic and successful week at CTIA event in San Francisco. It was exciting to announce the panel SDK and have analyst/media attend the group discussion on future of panels with partners like SPB, Microsoft & Handango and the excitement that panels brings to this world of personalization.

Having met enormous media it was good to realize how the mobile phone consumer today is missing the flexibility of making the phone his own in terms of the user experience. And how excited they were with Panels and how it gives a gateway to his/her mobile life - ability to customize his phone experience and information based on how he uses his phone at various stages in his life.

And the best part was everyone who heard my pitch on panels always came back with their own panel idea - eg: ‘can I have panel for my concert listing’, cookery panel, sports, social network panel, panel to access my company corporate assets, fitness panel and so on … this just proves the point that the possibilties are infinite with panels and this certaintly enables XPERIA to be the best and most adaptable mobile companion product.

XPERIA is definitely leading the real web 2.0 philosophy by keeping user at the heart of product and a first step in Open Innovation (through panels )products to follow on this subbrand starting this era of real ‘personalized device’
