Finally, iPhone app developers get a big break as far as the programming they want to do regarding compatibility with the iPhone. Smartphone app development has been somehow slowed down, particularly due to the framework issues and of course coding problems. To give you an idea, HTML programming compatibility has become a problem for most developers, hindering the progress for the release of new apps for smartphones.

But now, Rhomobile addresses this area, releasing a “write once and run on many” framework allows developers of all levels to utilize their HTML skills to create robust native applications for the new iPhone 3G S without the need for starting from scratch to make them compatible with other phone platforms.

“Rhodes is a very easy way to make an application for the iPhone,” said Adam Blum, CEO of Rhomobile. “The Rhodes framework enables anyone, from enterprise developers who want to mobilize their workforce to a consumer who wants to build fun and clever apps, to build powerful mobile applications with about twenty percent of the code used in iPhone apps today.”

Features:

• Makes developers five times more productive for even a single smartphone OS
• Allows developers to write apps in HTML and simultaneously build for all smartphones
• Supports iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android
• Full access to device capabilities: GPS, PIM contacts, camera
• Allows users to work with synced local data for rapid access and ease of operation when disconnected or offline
• Available as open source realtime on public repositories
