Rhodes Support for Push on iPhone and BlackBerry Enables Powerful Enterprise
Smartphone Application Development

CUPERTINO, Calif., July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Rhomobile today announced Rhodes
1.2 with support for using push to enable "instantly synchronized data" on
iPhone and BlackBerry devices. Rhodes now uses the iPhone 3.0 SDK push APIs
and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Push APIs to allow immediate updates of
important application information to users' smartphones. The Rhodes framework
allows developers of all levels to utilize their existing HTML skills to
create robust native applications for leading smartphones including iPhone,
BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android.

"The Rhodes smartphone application development framework provides us with
powerful tools to create robust, cross-platform native applications," said Dan
Turchin, CEO of Aeroprise, a leading provider of Mobile Service Management
applications and Rhomobile ISV. "The addition of push data capabilities in
Rhodes 1.2 allowed us to add alerting features to our application such as
customized, real-time notifications when network outages occur. Building on
Rhodes minimizes our time to market and helps us deliver innovative solutions
that give mobile employees a competitive advantage."

The Rhodes smartphone application framework reduces development costs by up to
five times by enabling developers to code native smartphone applications in
HTML instead of in Objective-C or other complex native device operating system
languages. While providing the productivity benefits of web programming,
Rhodes' unique framework allows for the creation of native mobile apps that
take full advantage of device capabilities such as GPS, PIM data, and camera.

Rhodes Features:
-- Allows developers to write apps in HTML and simultaneously build as
native apps for all smartphones
-- Supports iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android
-- Makes developers five times more productive for even a single
smartphone
OS
-- Support for Push Synchronized Data on iPhone and BlackBerry
-- 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
