Kony Solutions announced at the CTIA 2010 show that the Kony Mobile Application Platform now supports the new Apple (News - Alert) iPad.
The Kony Mobile Application Platform uses the Write Once, Run Everywhere technology, which enables an application to be designed and developed, just once, in a device independent manner and then delivered across all of device operating systems. With this, companies can fasten deployments, reduce overall costs, and increase profits and productivity, claims Kony.
With Apple iPad being added to the Kony Solutions Mobile Application Platform, companies can overcome the complexity and constant change in computing and mobile devices. They can also provide a high-value experience at an economical cost of ownership to their customers.
“Supporting the Apple iPad on the Kony platform is all part of our focus on bringing revenue-generating mobility solutions to the world’s most compelling brands by giving them compelling applications to interact with their customers anytime, anywhere, regardless of their choice of device,” said Raj Koneru, founder and CEO of Kony Solutions. “The iPad continues the Apple tradition of giving the consumer highly versatile mobile devices.”
The Kony Mobile Application Platform supports the entire lifecycle of application as it is built as a Write Once, Run Everywhere open architecture. The iPad joins the broad portfolio of more than 8,000 mobile devices and popular operating systems supported by Kony Solutions. Kony Solutions serves all of the cutting-edge features of the Kony Mobile Application Platform to the new Apple iPad as either a rich on-device mobile application, browser-based application optimized for Apple Safari, or as an integrated web gadget, such as in Facebook, MySpace (News - Alert) and iGoogle.
In February, the company announced that it supports the Google Nexus One phone. In addition, it supports all other predecessor phones that run on the Android (News - Alert) mobile operating system, including the Motorola Droid and HTC Hero. Kony Mobile Application Platform generates rich native mobile applications, device-optimized mobile websites and messaging channels, the company stated.
