Introduction

Welcome to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Certification program.

This program is designed for applications such as Xperia Panels available on Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 phone.

Panels are Windows Mobile applications that extend the Today Screen API in order to provide a Full Screen immersive experience.

Xperia Panel Certification is the process of certifying that a certain Panel has passed performance and quality assurance tests or qualification requirements according to Xperia Panels Certification Requirements.

Why Certify?

Certifying your Panel through Xperia Certification Program provides great marketing opportunities:

  • Certifying your application allows you to use the "Certified for Xperia" logo in your marketing materials.
  • The 'Certified for Xperia' certification is specifically targeted for the Xperia device and sets the highest quality bar for your applications.
  • Xperia Certification and Signing is required for participation in Sony Ericsson promotional activities, including the Sony Ericsson distribution channels.

Certification

There are two types of Xperia Panels, Native and Web (HTML). The certification requirements for Native and Web Xperia Panels are different. Please be sure to review the Xperia Panel Certification Requirements document to ensure all the requirements are met before proceeding.
