SimpleDevices, the leading platform for delivering rich content and applications beyond the PC to a new class of high-speed Internet devices, today announced that it has made its SimplePad(TM) Development Kit publicly available. The kit is intended for application developers and enterprise IT managers interested in developing applications for or integrating high-speed, wireless LAN-connected Palm(TM) devices. Developers can pre-order a SimplePad Development Kit from SimpleDevices' Web site, www.simpledevices.com.
SimplePad brings high-speed network and data access to existing handheld computing products to enable a host of applications for both home and enterprise use. With its power-efficient and lightweight design, the SimplePad "sled" clips onto any Palm V series PDA and transforms it into a high-speed, wireless WebPad with full data synchronization functionality and voice over IP applications. SimplePad leads a new generation of tools for accessing Web and network data by transmitting information from anywhere in the home or the enterprise.
"Because Palm has one of the most prolific developer communities for any platform, we designed the SimplePad Development Kit to help us tap into this tremendous resource. With more than 75% share of the worldwide personal companion market, the Palm OS was a natural starting point for SimplePad," said Lou Hughes, CEO of SimpleDevices. "SimplePad is designed to work in conjunction with our SimpleServe(TM) network management application or as a stand-alone computing device. It transforms the Palm into a reliable, high-speed network device, overcoming the bandwidth and cost constraints of wireless Internet for the home and enterprise."
The SimplePad Development Kit includes:
-- A full-featured SimplePad unit
-- A Palm Vx PDA, pre-loaded with the SimpleDevices development software
-- A Proxim Symphony(TM) HomeRF compatible Network USB adapter (1.6 Mbps)
-- SimpleServe, the SimpleDevices network manager
-- A CD-ROM with SimplePad SDK and applications
-- Complete documentation including Programmer's and User's Guides
