Hewlett- Packard recognizes the challenges posed by the explosion of Mobileplatforms and is deeply committed to supporting developers in taking cross-platform approaches.

You can see this commitment in the choices we've made with the HP webOS Platform:   By building our primary app runtime on ubiquitous web technologies, we're encouraging and supporting developers to write code that will run with minor modifications outside of webOS. Many of our developers built rich immersive apps for webOS and then taken them to other platforms using Nitobi's open-source PhoneGap solution for cross-platform deployment. For the same reasons, we chose to adopt Node.JS for our services runtime, enabling developers to leverage Node modules originally written for other platforms -- and to write their own code with portability in mind. Finally, the PDK is at its heart an enabler of cross-platform development. Built from popular standard libraries, it was designed with compatibility as a primary objective.

 

Immersion's MOTIV SDK lets you create the most interactive application by injecting haptic (touch) feedback into apps. It contains a library of hundreds of predesigned effects combined with an integration layer that ensures optimized playback on ANY Android device with a motor, supporting Android 1.5 - Android 3.0.  So let your salt shaker app shake like a salt shaker or your social network app tremble.  You get the idea.  We're judging on the most unique and compelling implementation of haptic effects in an app.

Building mobile applications is hard, way too hard. Entrepreneurs and companies are struggling to bring their great ideas to market.  With Canappi, you create a mobile application descriptor in “mdsl”, Canappi's Mobile DSL, and it generates most of the code for you, for the entire application stack from the MySQL schema, to the PHP Web APIs to the iPhone and Android mobile clients. How simple is Canappi? We wrote this application for COPD patients in 175 lines of mdsl code or a sample twilio application in 100 lines.

Canappi is a "development hub" that lets you use the best design tools, best libraries, best back-end APIs and the best platforms.Yes, you can use Apple’s Interface Builder to create Android Activities. We don’t lock you in either: all the code we generate is 100% open. Even our connectors for fun Web APIs like Twilio, Twiter, Eventful… are written in mdsl.

So why don’t you give us a try? Our language, mdsl, is very easy to learn supported by an eclipse-based editor and a cloud-based code generation platform.
