Motorola and Borland to Deliver JBuilder Foundation Software to Developers

URL(s): Borland

SCHAUMBURG, Ill. and SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif.--Jan. 9, 2001-- Motorola (NYSE: MOT) today announced an alliance with Borland(R), which plans to provide its market-leading JBuilder(TM) 4 Foundation development environment as part of the Motorola iDEN(R) Subscriber Group's developers' toolkit. Developers can request a free toolkit on CD-ROM by registering with the Motorola iDEN Subscriber Group's developer support program at http://www.motorola.com/idendev .

Borland's JBuilder 4 Foundation is a 100% Pure Java(TM) development environment that supports the latest Java 2 platform standards and cross- platform development. JBuilder 4 Foundation is designed to ease and speed the development process and allow developers to build, compile, debug, and deploy Java technology-based applications.

This relationship has been established in anticipation of Motorola's Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME(TM)) technology-enabled multiple communication handsets, which are expected to be available in the first half of 2001 through iDEN network operators, including Nextel Communications and Southern LINC in the United States and TELUS Mobility/Clearnet in Canada.

Motorola is facilitating the development of applications for this new handset platform by providing a comprehensive developer support program that includes development tools, application testing, personalized support, global marketing, distribution, billing, e-commerce backend processing, and end user support services.

"The availability of meaningful applications is a key element of the success of our J2ME technology-enabled computing and communications platform," said Bill Werner, corporate vice president of Motorola and general manager of the company's iDEN Subscriber Group. "We are pleased to offer Borland's JBuilder 4 Foundation to facilitate the development of these applications."

"Using JBuilder, developers can rapidly deliver a full spectrum of platform independent solutions, including mission-critical Internet solutions or networked database and client/server connectivity," said Tony de la Lama, vice president and general manager of Borland's Java Business Unit. "JBuilder's open, scalable and standards-based development environment shortens the time-to-market for Java technology-based applications."
