Oye, the only way that this will work is if they release this phone already! We need a big support for the phone before we start getting developers (independent, at least) interested. I wish that I knew something about programming...

Just read the SDK announcement over at Xperiancers and it seems like there's a Sony Ericsson Content Awards 2008 for XPERIA Panels:

"In this category we challenge you to create XPERIA™ Panels for the Sony Ericsson X1 phone using new tools from Sony Ericsson Developer World. Nine XPERIA Panels are displayed at once on the X1's touchscreen and they expand to show a group of short-cuts, whole applications, web services or whatever your imagination comes up with."
