Applied Reasoning releases Mobile Classic Blend Enables real-time wireless mobile applications
URL(s): http://www.appliedreasoning.com
OVERLAND PARK, KS - Applied Reasoning announces the general availability of Mobile Classic Blend™ today.
Mobile Classic Blend is Java™ middleware that enables true real-time wireless mobile applications. Mobile Classic Blend delivers
fast Internet wireless applications on mobile devices enabled with Java technology. The current release supports the Palm (Nasdaq:
PALM - news) operating system (Palm OS®) platform on the Kyocera® Smartphone marketed by Verizon™ (NYSE:VZ - news) and
Sprint PCS™ (NYSE:PCS - news).
With Mobile Classic Blend, businesses can support a whole new class of next generation wireless Internet applications from real-time
stock market updates to continuously updated email and chat clients on wireless mobile devices. Mobile Classic Blend overcomes
the challenges of bandwidth, device and software limitations to expand the value of current enterprise applications by making them
available anytime, anywhere.
"Mobile Classic Blend makes truly collaborative wireless applications and real-time pervasive computing a reality by making it
affordable," said Dr. Scott Bublin, President and CEO of Applied Reasoning. "Mobile Classic Blend reduces the time to market and
cost of delivery for pervasive applications that access enterprise data in real-time."
Mobile Classic Blend is designed to operate well over low bandwidth connections, which make it possible to deliver real-time data
and responses to most mobile devices today over current wireless networks. Customers get the benefits of "always live" connections
with current handheld device technology without having the phone online, thereby saving valuable airtime.
Kansas City-based NetStandard, Inc., plans on deploying Mobile Classic Blend applications to enhance the productivity of its team of
consultants, designers and engineers while on customer sites. NetStandard specializes in server co-location and application hosting
from its Internet data center. A pilot using Mobile Classic Blend is underway for work order management.
"As an IBM® partner, our customers expect us to adopt leading edge technology, " said Walt Lane, NetStandard's President. "Our
customers will be looking for similar ways to extend business applications to handheld devices, not just for convenience applications
like email, scheduling and time tracking, but for mobile enterprise applications integrated with existing business systems,"
Mobile Classic Blend is built on top of current technologies so that organizations can continue to use existing industry standard
development tools. Mobile Classic Blend augments Java application servers, like IBM WebSphere™, and complements Java
development environments, including IBM's VisualAge™ for Java.
"Mobile Classic Blend is excellent proof that pervasive devices can deliver content and e-business connectivity with a consideration
for bandwidth", said Skip McGaughey, Director of Marketing for the Embedded Systems Group at IBM (NYSE:IBM - news).
"Performance, footprint and integration; evidence that VisualAge Micro Edition delivers solutions for things that think and link."
Mobile Classic Blend leverages the Java application execution performance and speed of the J9 virtual machine from IBM® on the
Smartphone. "IBM's J9 was chosen because of its high performance, small footprint and integration with the Palm operating system,"
said William Burdick, Applied Reasoning's executive vice president and chief scientist. "VisualAge Micro Edition provides superior
tool support which was critical to our aggressive development cycle."
Mobile Classic Blend extends the revolutionary technology of the Classic Blend product line to wireless market. Applications can be
deployed in the same Java application server to simultaneously support wired and wireless clients. Developers create a next
generation Internet application for a mobile device the same way they would for a desktop browser-based application, and deploy
them together in the same Java application server.
"Organizations can now leverage their staff's Java skills for supporting mobile devices and leverage existing infrastructure,
investments in enterprise application and standard development tools without deploying new stand-alone mobile servers," said Bublin.
Pricing
Deployment licenses of Mobile Classic Blend are server-based at $25,000 per processor on a server machine.
