Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

Those that are hungry for more information about the upcoming Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 super-phone will be pleased to know that the Swedish-Japanese handset maker revealed us more through the recently released white paper. Here’s what we know:

  1. Pre-loaded XPERIA panels:
    • Sony Ericsson Panel – news, weather, finance, world clock, and app shortcuts
    • Media Experience Panel – multimedia consumption and navigation
    • Slideshow Panel – slideshow of recent photos and videos
    • Microsoft Today Panel
    • 3D Fish Panel – Aquarium with 3D fishes (is this a screensaver or what)
    • Custom Panels – user customized
  2. Media Sharing – allows media sharing (DLNA compatible) via ActiveSync or WiFi
  3. Video recording options
    • MPEG-4: 30fps @ VGA
    • H.263: 30fps @ VGA (U.S. model only at 24fps)
    • H.264: 15fps @ VGA (not supported on U.S model)
  4. Browser bundled is only Internet Explorer. I guess we’ll have to install Opera or some other browser for ourselves.
  5. Location services – Google Maps is pre-installed by default
  6. Email

    • Set-up Wizards for Gmail, Yahoo, Live Hotmail

Now if Sony Ericsson folks could send us a preview device we would certainly share more with you. Are you reading this folks? C’mon, send us over an evaluation unit. ;)

The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
