While SE’s Panel interface is a nice XPERIA X1 extra on top of the otherwise vanilla Windows Mobile 6.1 load, we know just how fond of TouchFLO 3D some of you characters are. There’s really not too much to say beyond that — we mean, it’s TouchFLO 3D on an XPERIA X1 — but there’s plenty more chatter in the vid just past the break.

We’ve not even had a chance to get all over Sony Ericsson’s panel interface for its Windows Mobile powered XPERIA X1 and at this time there’s talk of opening it up. Sony Ericsson’s Ramanath Bhat hinted at the possibility of not only opening up the Panel interface for developers — which we’d heard about — but releasing the entire UI for other Windows Mobile phones. For those not in the loop, panel is Sony Ericsson’s layer on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 which gives a desktop window into online info and dynamic content. So unlike HTC’s TouchFLO 3D, which seems destined to stay on its devices, we may start to see panel ported all over. Bottom line, this is sharing, and we think sharing is good.

We know what you’re thinking — it’s Windows Mobile 6.1 fool, we’ve got the developers kit already. True, but not the SDK that allows developers to create custom, interactive panels for the touchscreen QWERTY’s Panel Interface. Sony Ericsson claims that, “The Xperia X1 will offer the richest mobile user experience, putting the world at the fingertips of the user.” In other words, the expectations have been set, developers, so you’d bes. get to to downloading the free SDK — you’ve got your work cut out for you. Sony Ericsson will offer a panel download service in the future, showcasing all the panels built by you, Google, and other partners.

The Panel Applications are meant to be simple, rich, and fully-interactive allowing quick access to your data — eMail, calendar, multimedia, games, IM… you name it. But don’t take our word for it, SE explains the new panel ecosystem in the video posted after the break.
