Sony Ericsson releases a pair of mobile SDKs


By Jeff Feinman
September 4, 2008 — 
Sony Ericsson released a pair of SDKs for Project Capuchin, which bridges the Flash Lite and Java programming environments, and its Xperia X1 slider phone.

Project Capuchin is an API that combines Flash Lite and Java ME technologies so that developers can use attributes from both stacks to create new applications for Sony Ericsson mobile phones. Sony Ericsson executives said the SDK, made available today, contains a new packaging tool that makes it possible to bundle existing Flash Lite content into a jar file. Project Capuchin applications can be used on Sony Ericsson’s C905 Cyber-shot phone, and developers who utilize the packaging tool can test applications on C950 phones.

Sony Ericsson also released a beta version of an SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1, which can be used to adapt existing Windows Mobile applications and create new ones, according to the company. Within the SDK is a built-in Xperia X1 phone device emulator that lets developers test and debug applications without needing phone hardware. The Xperia Panels feature brings lightweight applications that can be personalized. It can work with HTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), C and C++. The Xperia X1, announced at Mobile World Congress in February, has a 3-inch display and touch navigation.

“Making the Windows Mobile SDK available for free to developers and mobile content creators will accelerate the development of new panels and applications for the Xperia X1, offering consumer choice and personalization,” said Rikko Sakaguchi, head of creation and development at Sony Ericsson.

The new SDKs, along with tutorials, are available for free download at the Sony Ericsson Developer World Web site.
