Kada Systems Introduces a Complete Mobile Platform
Kada Systems™ has
introduced the Kada Mobile Platform™ (Kada Mobile™) for the Palm
OS. Described as the industry’s smallest, fastest, most complete
and easily ported Java application platform for mobile devices.
The Kada platform, powered by a Java Virtual Machine, promises
developers the ability to test, optimize, and deploy applications to
existing mobile environments. Mobile workers will also benefit from
the platform, as it will allow them to download complete Java
applications, access information off-line, and then synchronize the
data updates to their on-line databases, said Sumit Sinha, software
consultant, Baton Rouge International, Inc.
According to the company, the Kada Mobile addresses the problem
of a lack of deployable full-featured e-business applications to
mobile devices by leveraging the operating system independent of the
Java application environment to create a foundation for an
always-available application environment.
The company characterizes the Kada Mobile as being
- Small
—Kada VM™ is half the size of most full-function
Java Virtual Machines
- Fast
—Applications compiled with Kada’s bytecode
compiler run 3-14 times faster relative to straight interpretation
of bytecode
- Complete
—Unlike other ‘microJavas,’ Kada Mobile
includes a full implementation of the Java APIs, including support
for java.awt, java.sql, and java.net
- Compatible
—Kada Mobile is a clean room implementation of
a JVM and supports standard development tools such as Visual Cafe,
Forte, PowerJ, and Code Warrior
- Portable
—Available for Palm OS 3.5 but is easily ported
to other wireless platforms
The Andover, Mass.-based company said the Kada Mobile is
currently available for Palm OS, with plans for versions supporting
EPOC, RIM, and Windows CE.
