Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10

Sony Ericsson today unveils the XPERIA™ X10, the first phone in a family of phones to deliver a consistent user experience where communication truly becomes entertainment.

XPERIA™ X10 is Sony Ericsson’s first phone on Google’s Android OS platform. XPERIA™ X10 has a 4 inch 854 x 480 pixel screen with a capacitive mineral glass touch-screen, fast 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon™ processor, 1GB internal storage with additional storage via microSD™ card, an 8.1 megapixel camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi 802.11g and HSPA at 7.2Mbps download.

With the power and features of the XPERIA™ X10 and the open software platform, developers have a compelling opportunity to create, share and sell applications.

Daniel Rosendahl from Developer World shows the demo version of Speed Forge 3D running on Sony Ericsson XPERIA™ X10.

PERIA™ X10 introduces Sony Ericsson’s Timescape™ and Mediascape™ signature applications.

• Sony Ericsson Timescape™ manages all communications – on social networks, text and email - with one person in one place.
• Sony Ericsson Mediascape™ enables users to see all the music, photos and videos they want from their favourite friends and artists. It accesses content from the phone, YouTube™, PlayNow™ – presenting it in an organised and intuitive way.

Erica Kato Marcus, Sony Ericsson Head of Application Planning for the XPERIA™ X10, talks about the new signature apps: Sony Ericsson Timescape™ and Sony Ericsson Mediascape.

We are keen to open up the APIs for these applications, and we welcome a dialog with developers to get ideas and feedback, with a view to launching a Sony Ericsson SDK in early 2010.

At Web 2.0 in New York on November 18-19 2009 we will be able to talk to developers in person about opportunities with XPERIA™ X10.

Developers can start right away using the SDK available at developer.android.com. On Developer World there will also be a guide that illustrates how to configure the SDK.
