Danger Announces Availability of Software Development Kit for hiptop Development Platform
NEW ORLEANS, Mar 17, 2003 - Danger, Inc., provider of the award-winning hiptop(TM) Wireless Solution, today
announced availability of the beta version of its Software Development Kit (SDK) for the hiptop Development Platform. The hiptop SDK can
be used by software developers to create applications for hiptop-enabled devices including the popular T-Mobile Sidekick, which is the first
such device marketed in the United States.
Danger provides an end-to-end solution to wireless operators, which enables them to quickly and economically deploy new applications and
services over their next-generation data networks. The solution includes three key components: the hiptop Development Platform, the hiptop
Service Delivery Engine and hiptop device designs.
With the hiptop SDK, software developers can use industry-standard development tools to create new applications or optimize existing
applications for hiptop devices. The beta version of the SDK will be available to approved developers at developer.danger.com, beginning
today. Danger will launch its formal developer program later this spring. In addition to providing support for application development, the
program will include guidelines for content development, including ringtones and graphics. Beginning this summer, users of hiptop devices will
be able to conveniently browse and purchase applications, ringtones and other content directly from their devices using a client-based
download manager.
"Providing fresh content and innovative new applications is a core element of Danger's value proposition for wireless carriers and their
customers," said Andy Rubin, president and co-founder of Danger, Inc. "Broad availability of our SDK will ensure that the best and brightest
developers are able to create compelling applications for hiptop devices, which will in turn increase the usage and loyalty of the hiptop user
base."
The beta version of the hiptop SDK is now available for download free of charge. The http://developer.danger.com Web site also provides
developers with additional information about the process of developing applications for hiptop devices. Details about Danger's formal
developer program will be provided later this spring.
