The latest release enhances the software with an emphasis on flexibility for both the developer and the mobile user. New features include a significantly expanded array of uses for variables, additional alarm functions, support for sounds and the creation of image maps, built-in support for 'one-click' bar code scanning using Socket's ultra-small In-Hand Scan Cards, and the ability to send SMS messages directly from within a database application.
"We've seen an explosion in creativity in the types of applications for which handhelds are being used, from monitoring medical services in third world countries to tracking homing pigeons," said Sy Danberg, President of SYWARE. "As a result, our emphasis has been on adding an even more flexible array of functions to Visual CE. Support for more peripheral devices, additional messaging and alarm functionality, all are part of our dictate to provide the most powerful yet easy to use application development environment for the mobile world."
