Sony and HTC have done a good job at keeping their mouths shut about the release date of the Xperia X1. Unfortunately, one of their software partners seems to think it's ok if they tell the world that the sont Xperia X1 will be released in mid September. Handango has access to this priviledged information since their Handango InHand software will be features of the Xperia X1 for direct software downloads and updates. This past week they send out an e-mail to software developers asking them to submit their best software to be included in the launch of the Xperia X1. Below is more details on the communication from Handango.
"Seeking Content for the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1
At Mobile World Congress in February, SonyEricsson and Handango partnered to support the Windows Mobile powered Xperia X1 device with a catalog of content available via Handango InHand. We are now seeking the best products for this device and we would be interested in
hearing from YOU. SonyEricsson requires your product to support the WVGA screensize (800×480) and multiple languages (International English, French, German, Italian and Spanish). Any title included in the InHand catalog will need to also be Windows M2M certified.
The Xperia X1 will launch in mid-September 2008 with the Handango InHand service on the device. This is a fantastic opportunity for all our Partners to sell their products directly through a dedicated on-device channel.
If your content meets the above requirements and want to take advantage of this great opportunity, please send your product information partners@handango.com."
