The latest developer's kit for the Windows Mobile 6.1-based Xperia phone is available from Sony Ericsson's developer site. The Sony Ericsson Beta SDK for Windows Mobile® 6.1 (v1.0.5) is a pack made of addons, documentation and developer software, which helps testing native panels, Web (HTML) panels and OpenGL ES supporting panels in function, just like in the case of standard applications. With the help of the Microsoft® Visual Studio® IDE Plug-in developing and testing is made much simpler. The greatest new feature of the developer's kit is the support for OpenGL ES, which lets developers create spectacular visual effects by making use of the proper hardware support. Sony Ericsson Xperia Panels is in fact nothing else than a plugin based on the Windows Mobile Today Screen API, offering comfortable and spectacular navigation in the handset's menu in fullscreen.
