It was not just the Facebook panel for Xperia X1 Sony Ericsson 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 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).

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. 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. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
