AppForge Announces New Product To
Support .NET Platform
AppForge Inc, a leading provider of software products and services for the
handheld, mobile and wireless industry, announced a new product line called
Crossfire. Crossfire is AppForge's mobile and wireless application development
environment for Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the .NET Platform.
With Crossfire, developers can write .NET platform-based applications
quickly
and distribute those applications on most of the leading mobile and wireless
devices including Palm OS, Pocket PC, Symbian UIQ, and Nokia Series 60 powered
PDAs and Smartphones.
With the growing adoption in the industry for .NET, AppForge is adding the
Crossfire product line to support this community of developers. AppForge will
continue to market MobileVB, its current development platform for Visual Basic
6.0, allowing companies to extend legacy enterprise applications to mobile and
wireless devices.
Microsoft .NET is a set of software technologies for connecting
information,
people, systems, and devices. This new generation of technology is based on
Web services-small building-block applications that can connect to each other
as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.
"With Crossfire, .NET Framework-based applications can be distributed on
the
leading mobile and wireless devices," said John Montgomery, director of the
Developer and Platform Evangelism Division at Microsoft Corp. "By supporting
Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the .NET Framework, AppForge will
enhance the developer experience for the mobile and wireless industry."
"We have been working very closely with System Integrators and Enterprise
Developers who have asked us to support .NET in our mobile application
development software," said Gary Warren, CEO of AppForge. "It is critical for
them to target all of the leading mobile devices efficiently, and AppForge is
the only company that enables cross-platform development with Visual Studio
.NET."
