Volantis, supplier of Intelligent Content Adaptation solutions launched its Mobile Content Framework 4.0.
The new release aims to significantly improve mobile Internet browsing through dynamic web applications, providing a rich browsing experience, and represents the Company's most recent initiative to achieving its vision of Web technologies as a ubiquitous platform supporting advanced applications for both fixed and mobile devices.
The framework introduces support for AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and
XML) enabled browsers, enabling the creation of highly efficient, interactive Web applications. The integrated offering supports the ability to deliver content to devices with basic browsers
and those with support for AJAX.
The introduction of the device independent library of AJAX based widgets will allow the construction of high capability mobile client applications similar in profile to the emerging generation of richly
featured web clients such as Google Maps, GMail or Flickr. Combining these pre-built libraries with device-independent mark-up also reduces the software development effort, enabling lightweight programming
models.
"The Web has become the fastest growing platform for applications," said Dave Raggett, Principal Researcher at Volantis and W3C Fellow. "The solution is attractive for developers wishing to ride the wave of rich web applications for mobile users, and can dramatically reduce costs compared with using
J2ME, BREW, Symbian or MS Mobile."
This release adds further value to existing XDIME applications and offers new opportunities for developers to provide device independent applications using the Volantis Framework and technologies such as Ruby on Rails, SOAP, Web Services, Java and PHP. The resulting novel browser-based applications can be delivered on-demand to the mobile device rather than having to be pre-installed.
The new widget library
includes support for various dynamic visual effects as well as a number of dynamic screen items such as marquees, carousels, folding menu items and pop-ups.
