Mobility changes the landscape of software development. The dramatic growth in the popularity of wireless computing devices creates both significant opportunities and considerable challenges for developers working on mobile application software. Developers designing mobile applications using best-practice guidelines face substantial challenges: periodic disruption to network connections, wireless security issues, finite power supplies, smaller memory and storage capacities of handheld computing devices, and so on. Whether creating an application from the ground up or extending an existing application for mobile deployment, developers must adopt a different mindset and learn the best ways to create efficient, secure applications enabled for the latest generation of wireless devices, from handheld PDAs built with Intel XScale® technology components to mobile notebooks equipped with Intel® Centrino® mobile technology.
Development tools from Borland and cutting-edge Intel platforms combine to provide an optimal development environment for the next generation of mobile applications. This paper discusses the tools available from Borland and the benefits of designing fast and efficient mobile applications on platforms powered by Intel processors.
