New panels?

[msc125]

just randomly checked the sony website, and there are two new panels...

Test CNN panel B10

and

Test Gokivo Navigation B10

Don't know how long they've been up, so apologies if this has been posted already (i did quick search before posting and found nothing)

The Test CNN panel has a funky new 'roladex' style front page (3D), and it's generally smoother

The Gokivo is pretty slow to search for places considering I was on Wi-Fi connection, looks like a pretty good panel though, only had a quick look in the menu, and it's got traffic updates too. It's kinda like a cross between TomTom and Googlemaps. Didn't have time to test it, but here's the website link:

http://www.gokivo.com/

So maybe SE haven't quite given up on the xperia just yet....?

they have been out for quite some time, and you know what the good thing about WinMo is: even if developers stop making official stuff, XDA people still make apps that will keep ur phone hip and great for another 5 years

already gone

Found the panels also during a random check and immedatly download the Gokivo panel to try out.
too bad they already disappeared from the SE site. probalby not quite finished yet
I quickly tried Gokivo on my Xperia. it looks good but its very slow in searching and updating maps.
like mentioned in previous post it's in between TomTom and google maps but needs to be a lot faster to be useable.

I hope it gets back on their site soon!

Any chance you can share it? I went to the SE site and thought they might have hidden it from me because I'm not in Nth America or Europe - but now I see it was actually pulled.

well I was thinking.. since they have 2 more xperia phones coming out.. if the panel system isn't being ditched, then perhaps some would be reversely compatible?

just a thought.

anyone tried the new mytopia panel? i couldn't get logged in due to them only allowing 12 char in the login field, even after i'd created an account with a user longer than that... oh well.. i put in a trouble ticket.. hopefully they get back to me.. it looks really cool and it's freee... can't beat that!

I had the Mytopia panel but deleted it.
You get two games after registering, Texas Hold'em poker and something else.
I loved the poker game but after something like ten games you get locked out and it requires a monthly subscription.
