Rococo Software Releases Java/Bluetooth Developer Kit For Linux
DUBLIN, IRELAND – July 13, 2004 – Rococo Software, an innovator of
Bluetooth software development tools and infrastructure software, today
releases the latest version of Impronto Developer Kit. Using Rococo’s
Linux-based Developer Kit (DK), software developers can easily design
Java/Bluetooth applications for a variety of wireless devices. Rococo
offers today’s product release free for non-commercial Bluetooth
projects.
“By making a fully-functional version of Rococo’s Linux development
environment free to students and hobby programmers more developers will
build compelling Bluetooth applications, which will help to boost the
adoption of Bluetooth in the mass market,” said Sean O’Sullivan, CEO at
Rococo Software. Rococo’s Impronto DK for Linux uses standard Java
application program interfaces (APIs) for Bluetooth wireless
technology. Today’s release increases Bluetooth functionality, includes
support for IrDA and adds more configurability to the Linux DK.
The number of Bluetooth applications on the market has grown
significantly since the wireless technology was introduced in 1998.
Apple has adopted Bluetooth in all of its PowerBooks and Dell, IBM and
Toshiba are putting Bluetooth in their laptops. All of the major mobile
phone vendors are embedding Bluetooth in phones, including Sony
Ericsson, Nokia and Motorola. With such a surge in the uptake, the
Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) would like to see more
applications on the market taking advantage of Bluetooth’s popularity.
“Many innovative applications have hit the market lately, but we still
hope to see more new and useful Bluetooth applications for portable
devices. Rococo Software’s free developer kit may be a very interesting
way to make Bluetooth development tools available to a young generation
who has new and fresh ideas about how Bluetooth can be used,” said
Anders Edlund, Marketing Director of the Bluetooth SIG.
Rococo is a member of the JSR82 Expert Group and the Bluetooth SIG. The
company has significant OEM partnerships with companies including
Ericsson and Aplix in the US and Japan. For more information about
