What is quickly becoming one of the most talked about phones of the year, the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 is starting to make itself available around the world. The sleek touch-screen, slider keyboard device has a cool multimedia panel interface allowing users to interact with their content in exciting new ways. This phone has picked up a ton of coverage, but one aspect about it that still seems to be flying under-the-radar is the great camera (3.2 MP, records 30 fps video, and takes some really great shots!).
Naturally, there was a strong mutual interest between our two teams to collaborate on delivering seamlessly connected, multimedia experiences for X1 users.
To do so, we optimized our Dashwire Mobile client for the Xperia and built out a custom panel interface as well using their developer kit. We worked on supporting the high-resolution, wide-screen display both in portrait and landscape, and built out a multimedia panel that helps users more easily interact with their content and that of other Xperia users around the world. The Dashwire panel and client are available for download at the Sony Ericsson Fun & Downloads page or via the on-device X1 panel downloader.

Dashwire was on hand for the Symbian Smartphone Show 2008 in London to announce Dashwire for S60. It was an event about the size of CTIA Fall in the US, but unlike other shows we have attended, this event provided comfortable seating areas to grab a few minutes of rest or work time. The message around Symbian as the industry leading open platform was resonating with attendees. There was lots of discussion about the announcement of Lee Williams, formerly of Nokia, taking on the role of running the Symbian Foundation, and most people we talked with felt it was positive based on his experience.
Ford Davidson, Dashwire CEO, gave a presentation on Connected Services, market trends and how Dashwire’s licensable technology platform is opening the doors to new consumer, social and business opportunities for companies interested in getting into this rapidly growing market. Symbian will be posting a video of the presentation on their site in the near term.

On Monday, we hit up a great evening with S60 enthusiasts at the Nokia Flagship Store a few paces from Oxford Circus Tube station. There was a marketing blitz around Nokia Comes with Music - the storefront windows and retail displays were promoting the new initiative. Several Nokia Xpress Music 5800s were on hand, and we saw a couple of interesting demos around location based services. We grabbed a table and started demoing Dashwire for S60 - the included photos were captured on an N95 and uploaded instantly from inside the store using Dashwire’s service and sent out to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.

We didn’t make any noise about this, but a few weeks ago we updated our Dashwire Mobile client (v381) to improve performance and fix some bugs for users with Windows Mobile 6.x phones:
- Support for hi-resolution contact pictures (HTC Diamond)
- UI enhancements, including multiple rows of photos and support for hi-res & wide screen phones
- Photo strip images cached on storage card by default (if available)
- Scattered bug fixes on random WM 6.1 phones (client popping in front, content upload failures, unable to connect, etc)
The update was built for Windows Mobile 6.x phones, though anybody with .NET CF 2.0 or higher can install it.
Check it out by visiting http://m.dashwire.com on your mobile phone web browser!
Finally, we’ve been a bit quiet lately because we’ve been cranking behind the scenes for our upcoming holiday launch. Stay tuned!
