Sybase Announces Support for Android

New Sybase iAnywhere Blue SDK Extends Bluetooth Functionality on the Android
Platform
DUBLIN, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Sybase iAnywhere today announced a new version of its iAnywhere Blue SDK
(Software Developer Kit) that will help developers and product managers
incorporate Bluetooth capabilities into Android devices. With the underlying
Bluetooth functionality running on a Linux based 2.6.x kernel, the Sybase
iAnywhere Blue SDK provides necessary application layer support for developers
to effectively add increased wireless flexibility to the rich Android framework.

"Sybase remains dedicated to building on its extensive device support and
enhancing Bluetooth technology through the Bluetooth Special Interest Group,"
said Michael Foley, Ph.D., executive director, Bluetooth SIG. "Sybase customers
can use the new Sybase iAnywhere Blue SDK with confidence knowing that the
software has passed Bluetooth qualification and rigorous testing at
interoperability test events."

Sybase iAnywhere Blue SDK for Android extends the Android platform by
strengthening it with industry standard application profiles, including:
Handsfree (HFP), Advanced Audio Distribution (A2DP), A/V Remote Control (AVRCP),
File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Object Push Protocol (OPP), SIM Access (SAP),
Phone Book Access (PBAP), Message Access Profile (MAP), Human Interface (HID),
Basic Printing (BPP) and Basic Imaging (BIP).

"We are extremely pleased to add the Android framework to our growing list of
Bluetooth ported products and continue building out our extensive device support
strategy for Sybase`s customer and partner ecosystem," said Terry Stepien,
president, Sybase iAnywhere. "As Bluetooth functionality continues to gain
popularity in the telematics and consumer electronics marketplace, developers
require an extremely effective way to extend those features to various wireless
platforms, including Android. Our commercial Bluetooth stack is extremely
reliable with more qualified application profiles for Android than any other
market solution and we offer a high level of technical support for those
customers that require it."

Sybase iAnywhere`s qualified Bluetooth compliant v2.1 +EDR stack:

* Rich functionality through a flexible architecture that eliminates lock-in
with a specific Bluetooth chip vendor
