appMobi cross-platform mobile app ecosystem introduced by FlyCast
Posted on January 11th, 2010 | Filed under: Software
Application developers for various mobile platforms can now create apps quite easily. Flycast declared the release of its new mobile application development ecosystem, named ‘appMobi’. This app can enable web developers to craft innovative local iPhone and Android applications by just using common tools such as Adobe DreamWeaver and Microsoft Visual Studio.
The company is unlocking its in-house tools to the developer community for cross-platform application conception, operation and monetization. The appMobi ecosystem provides developers with content-rich applications like a ‘write once, deploy everywhere’ facility. Various mobile platforms such as iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Symbian devices are compatible with this application.
“We want to enable all developers to participate on mobile devices. While open source libraries like PhoneGap form a basis for that movement, building such libraries into an executable for each smartphone is still a daunting task. We want the process to be as simple as Adobe’s Print-to-PDF functionality: write the HTML code, print to appMobi, get your app on multiple platforms,” Sam Abadir, FlyCast founder and CTO, commented.
Abadir added, “In our own FlyCast apps, we’ve been working closely with ad networks like Google to enhance ROI – we’re putting that know-how into appMobi so that all app developers can start making money from mobile advertising immediately. The content management, monetization, advertising and reporting tools we offer with appMobi will dramatically shorten time-to-revenue for all mobile application developers.”
These apps can be developed with HTML and Javascript, via the open source PhoneGap tools, which embrace development libraries and a cross platform emulator. appMobi enhances PhoneGap with the company’s established content management system, advertising, cloud services, realtime updating, reporting and payment and subscription tools. This can enable developers to swiftly generate, install and monetize exceedingly interactive applications that deal with all popular smartphone platforms. FlyCast can also supply superior certification, QA and support around the PhoneGap-based APIs.
The appMobi sample will be rolled out to certain developers on January 22, 2010. This app will be officially launched on March 1, 2010. Developers wanting to take part in the preview can register at the appMobi website, appmobi.com.
