Apps for phones announce today the availability of Version 2 of the leading RAD tool for creating applications for phones and other wireless devices that support the J2ME Standard. The apps for phones RAD tool enables software developers, whatever their skill set, to build applications for mobile phones. The visual designer allows for a "drag and drop" development process and the automatic separation of UI from business logic simplifies the complex issues associated with porting J2ME applications between different phones. It provides easy integration with Web Services, which enables developers to integrate legacy systems and Internet servers.?‚

Version 2 provides a major increase in both functionality and capabilities. Amongst the many enhancements to the product, there are two main new features that stand out. Firstly the introduction of wireless messaging means that applications written with apps for phones can now send and receive information via the SMS network. These messages can even wakeup the application where necessary. This enables push data services on mass-market devices. Secondly and even more exciting is the addition of support for the Basic programming language. Now the millions of Basic programmers throughout the world can build sophisticated applications on mobile phones without the need to learn Java.

{mosgoogle}"We have been listening to our customers," said Bill Colwill, VP Business Development apps for phones. "They love the ease of use and speed of development, but want more control to implement their business logic. We have now made the largest computer marketplace, mobile phones, available to the widest range of programmers without the need for them to learn J2ME ".

"The addition of SMS interaction and Basic programming now lets our developers create increasingly sophisticated applications," commented Andrew Terry, Chief Product Officer apps for phones. "In particular developers can use SMS to push data enabling the creation of a new generation of mobile applications."
