Sony Ericsson Releases XPERIA X1 White Paper R5

[Reggie]

Revision 5 of the XPERIA X1 White Paper is now out containing a lot of bad news. It seemed like no one noticed that revision 4 came out earlier this month but in any case, I've compared the docs line-by-line, and here's a summary of what has changed since revision 3

Ok one thing that we don't have to worry about:

The Slideshow Panel is available from the panels page.

Bad thing:

So why they removed slide show?
And WHY took away H.264 support?
P.S. How do you upgrade X1?
Through the SE PC suite?

[bad]

The media panel slide show is far slicker than the slide show panel anyway, so that's no great loss (although has been mentioned the slideshow panel is available as a free download from SE).

Thanks for this. I've added the update service at the App Section:
inxperia xperia forums - inxperia Xperia Software Downloads - Sony Ericsson Update Service

So I have a quick question...since they removed the h.264 encoding...would it be possible to enable it by flashing a unlocked EU rom? I'm confused. :/

[Reggie]

The way I understand it, I don't think it ever had H.264 encoding.
