Motorola has recently publicized the launch of advanced Android development resources by means of Motodev which features a new App Accelerator Program and Motodev Studio for Android Beta. Motodev will facilitate developers to access collection of latest Google Android developer tools and programs.
Developers will also get the chance to attend the next Motodev Summit in San Diego, CA, on October 6, for advanced training and information-gathering. The program is designed in order to boost the development of applications for Motorola’s mobile devices which operate on the Android OS, and would be shipping later this year.
“Motorola is focused on helping our global network of best-in-class developers create, deploy and successfully market their Android applications to ultimately unleash greater innovation into the mobile application development space. We believe Android and open software has the freedom and flexibility to foster innovation, accelerate time to market, and deliver the most personal and customized mobile experiences for consumers,” stated Christy Wyatt, Vice President, Software Platforms and Ecosystem, Motorola.
The Motodev Accelerator program assists developers to create apps that employ Android’s capabilities and utilize Motorola’s latest handset features. This program will permit few developers to submit their applications to Motorola. They can leverage this prospect to distribute through an array of channels, including carrier stores, the Android Market and third-party distributors.
The program provides developers an early access to tools, technical specs, documentation and other development support resources. It also offers pre-release access to forthcoming Motorola devices for testing and debugging. Through this program, developers can get direct access to Motorola’s developer support engineers via private discussion boards.
Motorola will also make publicly available the Motodev Studio for Android Beta. Motodev Studio is a powerful, eclipse- based integrated development environment that operates with Google’s software development kit. Motodev Studio along with Motodev program enables developers to design a new generation of rich user experiences for Motorola’s handsets operating on the Android operating system.
Developers are provided accessibility to design and development tools, handset emulators, virtual testing labs, intuitive interfaces for deploying applications, application creation wizards, frequently used code templates and access to marketing and distribution channels.
Motorola’s Motodev Summit 2009 is a one-day event that will assemble today’s most creative and innovative application developers from all over the world. The developers will get an opportunity for advanced training, be aware of market opportunities and also get exposure to the next generation of Motorola devices.
The event is hosted by Motorola’s Motodev developer network, the company’s global program for developers and independent software vendors (ISVs). The Summit aims to provide developers with every necessity for Android development that would help them to get a headstart in developing applications for the next generation of Motorola handsets.
The registration will open on August 12.
