IBM has unveiled
Lotus
Expeditor, a tool which allows software developers to create applications
for mobile handsets.
Expeditor will allow developers to port web-based applications to handsets,
and create mashups that take data from multiple sources and combine them into a
single application.
The company hopes that the tool will encourage companies to merge the
traditional operations of productivity suites, such as calendars and messaging
tools, with social networking applications.
IBM offered examples such as holiday planning tools or mobile tourist
information as possible applications.
A key feature in Expeditor is the ability to update applications in the
background, allowing users to receive software updates without disrupting their
phone's normal activity.
"People want to be productive anywhere, anytime," said Alistair Rennie, vice
president of development at IBM Lotus Software.
"Expeditor enables faster delivery of a new generation of web 2.0
applications to mobile phones."
The company plans to deliver a demonstration of Expeditor later this week at
the
EclipseCon
2008 conference in Santa Clara, California.
