The Sony Ericsson P1 is a mobile phone and the successor of the P990 . It was the last of the Sony Ericsson "P" Smartphone series, introduced in 2002 with the Sony Ericsson P800 and it integrates many of the hardware features of its predecessor the P990 in the form factor of the M600 . It was announced on 8 May 2007. There is a Chinese version of P1 called P1c. Compare with P1/ P1i, P1c lacks of 3G, thereby using EDGE which is much slower but more available especially in the US and parts of Europe.
15-549: The phone uses the UIQ 3.0 software platform, which is based upon Symbian OS 9.1. It is slightly thicker than the M600 as a result of the new hardware features, but this is reportedly largely indiscernible. It is nonetheless considerably thinner than the P990 (25% smaller - as the official press review states). While the phone used the same Nexperia PNX4008 processor as its predecessor,
30-671: A handheld computer) Hybrid PDA/Phone design (Candy-bar phone with Touchscreen Display) Slider design Software development kit A software development kit ( SDK ) is a collection of software development tools in one installable package. They facilitate the creation of applications by having a compiler, debugger and sometimes a software framework . They are normally specific to a hardware platform and operating system combination. To create applications with advanced functionalities such as advertisements, push notifications, etc; most application software developers use specific software development kits. Some SDKs are required for developing
45-584: A lighter version of the software which was presented in 2002, and first shipped that year with Sony Ericsson P800 . Sony Ericsson was the main OEM using the UIQ platform in its products. Motorola also developed some products using UIQ, but abandoned the platform in 2004 in favour of Linux , along with its stake in Symbian Ltd. In 2007, Motorola returned to UIQ with the launch of Motorola RIZR Z8 . Nokia , which
60-575: A platform-specific app. For example, the development of an Android app on the Java platform requires a Java Development Kit . For iOS applications (apps) the iOS SDK is required. For Universal Windows Platform the .NET Framework SDK might be used. There are also SDKs that add additional features and can be installed in apps to provide analytics, data about application activity, and monetization options. Some prominent creators of these types of SDKs include Google, Smaato, InMobi, and Facebook. An SDK can take
75-433: A resolution of 208×320 pixels (UIQ 1.x & 2.x) and 240×320 (UIQ 3.x). Depending on the phone, the color depth is 12-bit (4096 colors), 16-bit (65536 colors), 18-bit (262144 colors), and 24-bit (16,777,216 colors) on some newer phones. For developers, the significant items are: The following is a list of smartphones that have been announced/confirmed as running the newer UIQ 3.x platform. PDA-style design (similar to
90-866: The GNU Lesser General Public License are typically usable for proprietary development. In cases where the underlying technology is new, SDKs may include hardware. For example, AirTag 's 2012 near-field communication SDK included both the paying and the reading halves of the necessary hardware stack. The average Android mobile app implements 15.6 separate SDKs, with gaming apps implementing on average 17.5 different SDKs. The most popular SDK categories for Android mobile apps are analytics and advertising. SDKs can be unsafe (because they are implemented within apps yet run separate code). Malicious SDKs (with honest intentions or not) can violate users' data privacy , damage app performance, or even cause apps to be banned from Google Play or
105-551: The development of feature-rich mobile phones that are open to expanded capabilities through third-party applications. UIQ was the result of 'Quartz', a user interface for pen PDAs that was one of the three provisional interfaces that were designed by Symbian Ltd. The first three Quartz phones never made it to market, including Psion 's "Odin" in a joint venture with Motorola , which was cancelled in January 2001, causing Psion's shares to deteriorate. Engineers thereafter created
120-531: The form of application programming interfaces in the form of on-device libraries of reusable functions used to interface to a particular programming language , or it may be as complex as hardware-specific tools that can communicate with a particular embedded system . Common tools include debugging facilities and other utilities , often presented in an integrated development environment . SDKs may include sample software and/or technical notes along with documentation, and tutorials to help clarify points made by
135-618: The included RAM was doubled to 128 MB, resulting in significantly more free RAM after boot-up. As a result of its increased RAM, the P1's multitasking performance was far more stable than that of the first series of UIQ 3 phones from Sony Ericsson ( P990 , M600 and W950 ). The boot speed, when compared to the P990 , is also discernibly faster. The P1 uses the form factor of the M600 and consequently shares its screen size of 2.6 inches, making it 0.2 inches smaller than its predecessor. However, due to
150-555: The new transflective layer on its LCD display, legibility under direct sunlight has been improved on the P1. This addresses a common problem faced by owners of the P990. The phone has 256 MB of built-in flash memory; twice as much as its predecessor, with 160 MB available to the user. The phone also supports expansion using Memory Stick Micro slot cards, up to 16 GB in size. Internet Entertainment Connectivity Messaging Communication Design Organiser The P1 model
165-411: The primary reference material. SDKs often include licenses that make them unsuitable for building software intended to be developed under an incompatible license. For example, a proprietary SDK is generally incompatible with free software development, while a GNU General Public License 'd SDK could be incompatible with proprietary software development, for legal reasons. However, SDKs built under

It is a graphical user interface layer that provides additional components to the core operating system, to enable
195-526: Was the last version of the platform, based upon Symbian OS v9.3. Developers that developed on the UIQ 3.x platform had a much better story than with previous releases, since all UIQ 3.x phones were served by a single, core SDK . Native applications can be written in C++ using the Symbian/UIQ SDK . All UIQ-based phones (2.x and 3.x) also support Java applications. UIQ phones employ touch screens with
210-584: Was uncertain, as it could no longer develop the software for the Symbian operating system. Many Motorola UIQ devices planned for 2009 were cancelled, including Motorola Razr3 , codenamed "Ruby". UIQ Technology filed for bankruptcy in January 2009, which effectively ended the UIQ platform. Sony Ericsson moved on to Windows Mobile and the open source Symbian from the Symbian Foundation, whilst Motorola adopted Google's Android software. UIQ 3.3
225-596: Was using the competing Series 60 (later S60) platform, created one UIQ device called Nokia 6708, which is a rebadged BenQ P31, and was only released in the Asia-Pacific region. Sony Ericsson bought UIQ Technology in November 2006, and the next year, Motorola bought half of it. After the creation of the Symbian Foundation and its favouring of S60 as their user interface of choice, UIQ's future
