Wapple has unveiled Wapple Architect, which helps developers mobilise PC web applications.
At the heart of Architect is Wapple's, XML-based mark-up language, WAPL (Wapple Application Programming Language). This enables the development of mobile apps that can be written in any language for output in WAPL. Wapple promises these apps will work on every mobile device - from iPhone to G1 Smart phone to the earliest basic handsets.Meanwhile the Wapple Exhibit device profiler and delivery engine ensures apps are rendered for any new device launch or update. This esures that logos and other images are not distorted or in the wrong colour, navigation is presented in the most appropriate way and only content the device is able to handle is displayed and adapted to the screen size.
"Architect is a ground breaking technology that integrates at the very heart of an existing web application, unlike transcoding systems," said Rich Holdsworth, CTO at Wapple.
"There is growing demand for good quality mobile applications and content, but developers have been faced with the impossible task of supporting more than 50,000 device and software variants.
"The result is that many have either used crude transcoding to deliver very basic content or spent weeks developing different sites for different phones. With Wapple Architect, developers simply build it once and let Wapple's delivery engine do the rest."
