    To my brother form KSA, the panel shows default 'New York' as it is an image not the panel it self. First the image is enlarged & than on the back end the panel starts it self, once it is loaded you see you customized location. I dont think is a problem in the unit.

        Some great apps...
        I downloaded Pocket player, its a great media player that is finger friendly and has an equalizer. You don't have to switch to other panel as well (faster). You'll see the great sound reproduction of x1 through this.
        Image Viewer, an image viewer as it suggests, that lets you browse pics just like on iPhone. WinMo is just so great, there are plenty of programs available, several are even for free. Its just a web search away.

          @4vsH - thank you for your reply. Yes, it's not really a big deal since it is fast to switch from the default to your cutomized. However, I forgot to mention as well that is it normal that a little gap (you can see the QWERTY keyboard) between the screen and the main body when closed?

                  At last I've got my XPERIA X1 (black) only yesterday. So far, I have one issue on any of the XPanel. The first time you turn-on your unit, the clock is default to New York and you need to customize it where you live. After I customized, it's ok. But everytime you re-opened or re-launch the clock to be on your standby screen, it will show you first the default clock (i.e. New York) for a second (perhaps) before it will show you the ones you have cutomized it, say Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) maybe a second again. Is this always the case?

                            breaking news:No clue why Sony didn't unleash this pretty boy with its litany of items yesterday, but maybe it just saw fit to give it some special attention. Thanks to the all-admitting FCC, we already had a good idea that this was coming, but now that it's finally here, we're still pretty jazzed. Set to rival Panny's Lumix DMC-TZ50, the DLNA-certified Cyber-shot DSC-G3 is the planet's first WiFi camera with a built-in web browser, enabling users to upload images and video directly to popular sharing sites wherever a WiFi connection is available. Of note, the camera comes with complimentary access to Sony's Easy Upload Home Page via AT&T WiFi, which provides easy entrance into Shutterfly, Picasa, YouTube, Photobucket and Dailymotion. Other specs include a 10 megapixel sensor, 4x optical zoom and Face Detection. It's yours to grab right now for around $500.

                              Since one of the highlights of the X1 is its panel interface, it only logical to make the most of it. Some have commented that the panels are too gimmicky to be useful; while there is certainly an element of novelty involved, the panels have the potential to be powerful because of their ability to make so much information accessible so quickly.
