It was not just the Facebook panel for Xperia X1 Sony Ericsson (NYSE: SNE) has launched. They also announced two additional panels - Windows Live and Dashwire.
The first of the two, as you can guess, uses existing Windows Live ID to sync contacts held in the X1’s phonebook, and provides easy access to Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) messenger interface, including Hotmail and Live Messenger. In addition, the Windows Live panel gives users access to the Windows Live Search, which can be voice activated and controlled (in case you don’t want to type). Other Windows Live services will be incorporated into the panel in the future.
As for the Dashwire panel, it’s designed to sing along Dashwire’s syncing service, allowing users to do things like backup their contacts, send text messages from the web, and share their photos and videos with friends and social sites like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, FriendFeed, and Bebo.
The three new panels — Facebook, Windows Live and Dashwire — are already available as free downloads via X1’s on-board downloader and/or from the Sony Ericsson website (select “panels” from the menu on the left).
