Cascada Mobile launches Breeze Plaform
Author: Gen, Category: News
With more than 2 billion mobile phones already in use around the world, Cascada Mobile (www.cascadamobile.com) announced today Breeze, a new development platform that can transform ideas into globally distributed mobile applications in as little as fifteen minutes. Cascada’s Breeze platform provides anyone with knowledge of even the most basic Web programming languages the easiest method for creating, testing and distributing mobile applications to phones anywhere in the world. Breeze-created applications are subsidized by mobile advertisements making the service free for anyone to use.
Unlike the “write once, run anywhere” world of Web programming, where a single set of code can work universally on any computer, operating system and Web browser, mobile application development is fraught with complexities. Mobile phones can have different screen sizes, button and keyboard configurations, and other features that impact how mobile application runs. Despite the fact that J2ME, the mobile version of the Java programming language, is supported on billions of phones in the market today, an application that runs on one phone may not work on hundreds of other phone models, even if those phones are similar in design or come from the same manufacturer.
