Red-M(TM), a pioneer in advanced wireless networking solutions, today announces availability of two Red-M Blade Dev-kits. The kits enable Palm OS developers to quickly and easily create and test Bluetooth applications for the Palm OS, opening a world of opportunity to capitalize on the rapidly growing popularity of wireless connectivity technology.
The Red-M Blade Dev-kits are based on Red-M's successful Blade Bluetooth clip-on for Palm Vx and come complete with a Palm OS emulator cable, allowing developers to create and test Palm OS applications on a PC (using Palm OS emulation software) whilst connected to a fully Bluetooth 1.1 compliant device.
Red-M is also offering a network version of the Dev-kit that includes the 1050AP LAN Access Point. The Red-M 1050AP provides rapid, simple and reliable mobile access to a corporate LAN from Bluetooth enabled devices, allowing users to benefit from a wireless network in a localized area. It allows Palm OS developers to easily create a live Bluetooth environment to fully test newly developed applications.
"We believe that Bluetooth technology will have a major impact on the mobile and handheld world, and see Red-M as one of the most prominent players", comments Nadav Gur, CEO of application developer MobiMate. "Our PhoneMate application was designed from the start for a mobile environment; porting our application to Red-M's Bluetooth solution was an extremely simple exercise, and we will continue enhancing it to take further advantage of the technology."
Chris Brading, Marketing Director of Red-M adds; "The Bluetooth developer kits open up immediate opportunities for Palm OS developers to take advantage of the enormous potential of Bluetooth. Application developers are already reaping the rewards of Bluetooth by extending their applications to work in a wireless environment."
The Red-M Dev-kits are available now with prices starting at $199. Further information can be found and products ordered at Red-M's website: www.red-m.com/bladedev-kit
