We had recently told you about the new Facebook Panel launched by Sony Ericsson for the XPERIA X1. Besides that, Sony Ericsson has also launched a Dashwire and Windows Live Panel.

The Windows Live panel uses existing Windows Live ID to sync contacts held in the X1’s phonebook, and the panel will provide easy access to an intuitive Microsoft messenger interface, including Hotmail and Live Messenger, the world’s most widely used free instant messaging service. The panel will also give users access to the Windows Live Search function, which is tailored to mobile phones and can be voice activated and controlled. Other Windows Live services will be incorporated into the panel throughout the year.

Todd Peters, corporate vice president of marketing, Microsoft Mobile Communications Business said:

We're thrilled to partner with Sony Ericsson and deliver our Windows Mobile platform and Windows Live panel on the XPERIA X1. 460 million Windows Live users can step into the XPERIA X1 and tap into the Microsoft experience they already use everyday

The Dashwire panel seamlessly synchronises the X1 and the content it captures with a user's computer and the web. Dashwire's free service helps users automatically sync the contacts, text messages, photos, videos, calls, and settings from their phones to a private cloud-based account, providing them with access to their information when in front of a computer or on-the-go using their XPERIA X1, and making it easy for users to do things like backup their contacts, send text messages from the web, and share their photos and videos with friends and social sites like Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, FriendFeed, and Bebo.

Ford Davidson, founder and CEO of Dashwire said:

Panels open up an exciting set of opportunities for users to interact with their personalized experiences, and for developers to help bring them to life.By building out a custom panel, we’ve enabled our users to instantly access all of their photos stored in the cloud with just a flick of their finger.
