At the Pocket PC Summit, which opened yesterday (Tuesday) in Philadelphia, leading vendors are showing off their wireless solutions for Microsoft's Pocket PC as well as the first database for a smartphone device. The Windows-powered Smartphone 2002, previously known as Stinger, competes with Symbian's and Palm's phone software platforms.
At the show this week, Sybase subsidiary iAnywhere Solutions, a provider of mobile and wireless solutions, will introduce a beta program for its UltraLite Component Suite, which opens its SQL Anywhere Studio to developers using Visual Basic, Appforge, embedded VB, ActiveX, and JNI (Java Native Interface). The UltraLite Component Suite includes AppForge Ingot, which is used with the AppForge add-in to Visual Basic to create cross-platform applications for Palm, Pocket PC, and Symbian-based devices; ActiveX control, for use with embedded Visual Basic or Internet Explorer; and Java class libraries.
