With Xperia X1 launch approaching, Sony Ericsson has released another beta version of its SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1 to enable developers to create Xperia Panels and applications for Sony Ericsson’s flagship smartphone – Xperia X1.
The SDK version 1.0.4 includes Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and Windows Vista OS compatibility and adds key mapping support to the Xperia X1 Device Emulator. In addition, the accompanying tutorials, getting-started documents and walkthroughs have also been updated.
The Swedish-Japanese handset maker wants you to develop for their first Windows Mobile baby, hence Xperia Panels have their own category in this year’s Sony Ericsson Content Awards competition.
In a nutshell, many things seem set to push developers toward making apps for the Xperia. We’re eagerly waiting to see where this goes and are looking forward to see some really cool apps made for the X1 and hopefully future Sony Ericsson models sporting the Xperia panels.
More information about the SDK as well as download instructions are available from here.

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
