Skype On Xperia X1, Dedicated Panel Revealed!
It seems that Nokia weren’t the only ones to benefit from Skype on their mobiles, Sony Ericsson is soon to receive free voice calls over wi-fi and instant messaging via the unique Panels interface on the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1!
Due to be released on the 31st of March 2009, the Xperia panel offers a unique ‘balloon’ interface on a skyline, where each of your contacts is represented by a floating icon. Online, and they will be vibrant and in the air. Offline, they will be greyed out and fall into the background.
A quick demo of some of the other Panels on the Xperia X1 followed, and it is safe to say they are leaps and bounds ahad of the stuff available at launch. Check out the new CNN.com Panel, complete with geographically relevant news!
Great to see the Panels interface coming into it’s own, and the power of the Xperia X1 being applied in new ways.
