Flower Mound, TX – Genuitec, LLC, today announced the third milestone release (M3) of MobiOne; a new enterprise-class technology that enables development of smart mobile applications using Web standards. The M3 release now includes support for the popular PhoneGap application development framework for the iPhone, enabling the development of App Store-ready mobile Web and native applications.
“With the emergence of the smartphone mobile browser, the days of vendor lock-in are behind us. For the first time, mobile developers can seriously consider developing world class cross-platform applications.”
As the mid-September release date for MobiOne version 1.0 draws closer, Genuitec has added a rich layer of functionality to its mobile development software with the inclusion of the PhoneGap framework. Now developers can create hybrid native/Web applications using the popular HTML 5, CSS3, and JavaScript Web technologies. The inclusion of PhoneGap fills the need for developers to create mobile Web applications capable of meeting App Store acceptance requirements and accessing native device services and sensors such as geolocation, contacts, accelerometer, video and sound, orientation and more.
“The future of applications on smartphones is likely to be a mix of both native and Web based applications,”
This third milestone release of MobiOne is available for Palm Pre and iPhone development only, but will rapidly support other smartphone devices with an aggressive delivery cycle. Targeted devices include Andriod/G1, Blackberry, and possibly Nokia and other smart devices being developed. MobiOne’s extensible “TruView” emulation technology delivers the behavior of these smartphones through a pixel-perfect experience of true smartphone behaviors, not simple graphical simulations.
