The requirements for the SDK are pretty humane – you need Visual Studio 2005, the WM6 SDK and the latest version of ActiveSync 4.5.

Unfortunately, Sony Ericsson does not specify which programming language(s) can/must be used to create these panels – I am pretty sure that .NET CF developers will be left out due to the way-too-long startup time of the CLR interpreter (up to three seconds on my rx4240).

Amusingly, the SDK ships with a full XPERIA simulator – should anyone of you feel like taking the box for a spin: this is your opportunity…

Further information can be found at Sony Ericsson’s developer network!
