Nombas(TM), Inc., the leader in licensed scripting tools and technology, today announced Device JavaScript, the first scripting engine that fully meets ECMAScript standards for handheld and wireless platforms, including Palm OS, BlackBerry, and Pocket PC devices.
"Until now, the constraints of mobile devices made using JavaScript difficult, if not impossible" said Brent Noorda, President of Nombas. "Device JavaScript overcomes these barriers with its groundbreaking memory optimizations to enable even large and complex scripts to run effectively on handhelds and wireless devices."
Device JavaScript is the first JavaScript-compatible engine that can be deployed across Palm OS, BlackBerry, and Pocket PC platforms. It is also the only ECMAScript-compliant solution available for Palm OS and Blackberry systems. As part of Nombas' flagship product, ScriptEase(TM) Integrated SDK 4.40, Device JavaScript enables wireless and portable application developers to easily embed a JavaScript interpreter into their C/C++ and Java applications. In doing so, developers can simplify application design, speed up their development time, and significantly reduce the overall effort required to maintain these applications. In addition, it is now possible to create device applications that comply to the development standards of HTML and VoiceXML
"Using Device JavaScript, we were able to deliver a robust product many months earlier than expected and, at the same time, include features we did not even think were possible," said Richard Rubenstein, President of Jargon Software.
Technical Specifications
-- Requires less than 11 kilobytes of memory to initialize engine and all ECMAScript objects
-- Less than 1 kilobyte to compile a standard script, and a handful more kilobytes to add even a large number of additional objects
-- Is 100% compatible with latest version of ECMAScript (ECMA-262, 3rd Edition)
-- Can run fully on device or share processing work with servers running the ScriptEase engine
-- Supports true multithreading. Any number of threads can run simultaneously
-- Enables "fibers" to run on an existing context to share memory
A 30-day trial version of ScriptEase Integrated SDK with Device JavaScript support (and a real-world demo of a Device JavaScript application) can be downloaded at
