Sony Ericsson unveiled four new panels for its Xperia X1 smartphone that will be available for download from mid-march March 2009. Without further ado, let’s roll, shall we?

  • CNN panel keeps you updated with all the latest news, sport and/or weather information from CNN. In addition, you can access to CNN’s popular citizen journalism tool “i-Report.”
  • Skype panel provides quick access to Skype. At a glance, you can see which of your friends are online, and call or send them an SMS within seconds.
  • Then there’s the Mytopia panel that lets users play bingo and poker games with people around the world.
  • Finally for those always on the move, Sony Ericsson prepared the so called “On the Road” panel which offers direct access to your music playlists and tracks, navigation tools and easy to use call-handling.

For the record, since Sony Ericsson launched the Xperia X1 in Q4 2008, close to 420,000 panels have been downloaded around the world.

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.
