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.

Sun Cellular taps popular actor Aga Muhlach as its new endorser.
With Aga’s new endorsement comes a new television commercial (TVC) titled “Sun Cellular, Boses ng Barkada.” It promotes Aga as the new face behind Sun Cellular and its most popular flagship permanent service, the Sun Call and Text Unlimited (CTU) 25 that offers the most cost-efficient service in town - unlimited calls and texts for one day for only P25! It can be availed through Sun’s electronic loading service Sun Xpress Load and e-pins. Meanwhile, regular load can also be converted to CTU25.
“Sun Cellular is the only operator that offers unlimited calls. For a flat daily rate, our subscribers can call and text other Sun numbers all they want for 24 hours. This is our distinct offer to consumers,” says Joan Dueñas, AVP for Prepaid Business “People need to communicate everyday with family, friends, and business contacts. Through this, Sun Cellular builds and nurtures relationships. That’s why we did this recent campaign: our subscribers are not just limited to texting, they can call all they want.”
A report from PTB mentions that U Mobile was officially launched Monday evening. It’s the first ad-supported telco in the Philippines. A subsidiary of Smart Communications, CURE was bought last April for a reported Php500 Million.
Nokia today announced that the Nokia N82 multimedia computer has been awarded the ‘Best Mobile Imaging Device in Europe 2008′ by TIPA (Technical Image Press Association) - Europe’s largest photo and imaging press association.
“The Nokia N82 is a compact multimedia computer that integrates GPS, web, video and music functions around a 5 Megapixel camera with a high-speed, f/2.8 autofocus lens,” the TIPA jurors said. “This Carl Zeiss Tessar focuses from 10cm to infinity and produces sharp prints up to and beyond A4 size. Several scene modes are also available to optimize the Nokia N82 for great images, whether shooting portraits or night shots,” TIPA continued. Other Nokia N82 features highlighted by the jurors are the Xenon flash and 20X digital zoom.
