The Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 does everything, a state-of-the-art Windows Mobile smartphone is able to provide these days (and even more). It features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and an ultra fast Qualcomm 7200A CPU at 520 MHz, supports quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE and triband UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA as well as Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, WiFi b/g and GPS.
The massive memory of 128 MB RAM and 512 MB ROM can be expanded with microSD cards (the slot is protected by the battery cover but the cards are hot-swappable) and the touchscreen features still uncommon WVGA resolution at 800 x 480 pixel. The autofocus camera on the backside features 3.2 megapixel while the front facing camera supports the typical VGA resolution for UMTS video telephony:
At a weight of 144 grams including the 1500 mAh Li-Ion Polymer battery, the Xperia X1 measures 110.0 x 17.0 x 53.0 mm and the prototype I got my hands on felt rocking-solid. The 5-way D-Pad also works, similar to the Samsung SGH-i780, as an optical joystick.
On the left side, the Xperia X1 features a mini USB plug which is used for sync and charge as well as a button which rotates the screen. On the right, the device features the volume rocker on the top and the camera shutter on the bottom. On the top, the device holds a 3.5 cm plug for stereo headsets and the power button.
On both sides, left and right, the device features 4 LEDs in total which signalize incoming calls, etc.
On the video above you might have noticed that the device doesn’t seems to be the fastest yet but please keep in mind that it was a prototype. We still have the word from Sony Ericsson that the X1 will take benefit from some kind of graphic hardware acceleration.
Unfortunately this meeting with the Xperia X1 was way too short and I’m definitely looking forward the next time, I hopefully have the chance to test it a little bit longer.
** New version of the Animation Plugin available now **
Animations can now be placed so that they can overlap the other standard plugins, and more than one animation per homescreen can be played. This allows for more interesting layouts.
Once installed on your smartphone, you can download and install homescreens that play animations. The animation stops playing when the backlight timeouts so as not to impact on the battery life.
Features:
The Home Screen Animation Tool has also been updated. The application is now a complete homescreen building application. Use it to :-
- Build one or more animations for the homescreen
- Drag and drop the animation into place on the homescreen
- Drag and drop the other standard plugins into place on the homescreen
- Set the font size, color, bold, date formats, etc etc for all the standard plugins
- Create the colour scheme
- Play the animation(s) to see how your complete homescreen looks
- Generate a cab file to install onto your device or upload to the web
- Generate frames of screen shots of the animation to easily make animated GIF
- Complete tutorial and sample homescreens included
- No animation file signing required anymore
The plugin is backwards compatible so it’ll play animations built with the old editor, but animations built with the new editor will not work in the old plugin.
The homescreen animation tool is available for windows XP & windows 2000 and its completely free.
