If you’ve got a shiny new Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 smartphone and want to create your own panel, you’ll find that it’s not the easiest process in the world.

You can currently create either code-based panels, written in a language such as C++, or HTML-based panels, which are obviously written using HTML.

However, both types require you to use Microsoft’s Visual Studio development environment, which is not exactly for the faint-hearted!

Fortunately, the guys at MySonyEricssonBlog have created an easy-to-use online panel creator, which lets you create the HTML panels you want and then upload them onto your XPERIA.

Best of all, it’s free, too,and doesn’t require the 4GB that Visual Studio does!
