Sony Ericsson releases beta WebSDK

Handset maker offers developers tools to create apps for its Symbian and Android devices

Sony Ericsson has taken the wraps of its beta WebSDK, which it has developed in partnership with the PhoneGap open source community.

The company says the tolls will allow developers create apps for its Google Android OS and Symbian Foundation devices, starting with the XPERIA X10 and the recently launched Satio.

At the XPERIA X10 launch earlier this month Sony Ericsson said it would be launching an SDK in early-2010 to attract edvelopers to its platforms.

Christopher David, Head of Developer and Partner Engagement at Sony Ericsson, said: “With the Sony Ericsson WebSDK our focus is on bringing all the capabilities of web technologies to mobile applications and giving web developers wide access to easy-to-use tools and mobile phone platforms.

"We are driving this initiative together with the PhoneGap open source community and invite developers to join us as we offer advanced mobile devices and a clear monetisation path.”
