>Simplicity for Mobile Devices, created by Data Representations, is a cross-platform Rapid Application Development environment targeting J2ME mobile information devices using Java Technology MIDP.  This tool is designed to allow programmers of all levels easily harness the power of Java Technology to create robust applications that will work on Palm OS Platform, and MIDP enabled phones or pagers.  A developer can write the application once and it will work accross all MIDP compatible devices.  During the development process a programmer can easily switch the on-screen emulator to see what the application looks like on a specific device without saving and compiling.

Key features of Simplicity for Mobile Devices include:

• MID Emulator
• Fast User Interface building
• Code Sourcerer
• Execution-on-the-Fly
• RMS data storage
• Graphics simulation
• TCP/IP simulation

Ease of Use Most notable about the Simplicity for Java family of products is the ease of use they provide for both novice and advanced programmers. Simplicity presents the developer with a WYSIWYG interface for building MIDlets. Creating the graphical user interface is as easy as clicking and dragging in Simplicity's Visual Composer environment. Simplicity writes all the code for the developer.

Code Sourcerer Creating the code necessary to make the new application work is made simple by the Code Sourcerer. It interviews the user, in plain English, gathering the information needed to generate the correct code. Programmers need only choose the features they wish to incorporate into their program, and the software automatically generates the code. The Visual Composer and Code Sourcerer make short work of creating complex applications. Beginning programmers become powerful programmers, and advanced users become more productive.

Execution-on-the-Fly™ Another feature that increases productivity is Execution-on-the-fly, allowing programmers to see the effects of their code before compiling. As code is generated, the application changes correspondingly. Users have found this to be one of the most useful features in Simplicity for Java, as it speeds both development and the debugging process.

MID Emulator Simplicity for Mobile Devices includes a simulator in which developers can build and test their Java Technology enabled applications for MIDP-based devices. Developers can use any of the Java features in the MID Profile to build MIDlets, and the MIDlet will perform the same way in both the emulator, and when deployed to an actual cell phone or MID-enabled mobile device. These features include:

RMS data storage: Simplicity for Mobile Devices includes sequential record storage for persistent data safekeeping. Simplicity for Mobile Devices gives the developer a flexible manner to emulate the particular device's environment, as well as direct access to the stored data for ease of debugging and testing.

Graphics simulation: Simplicity for Mobile Devices offers a flexible way to emulate the graphics display of any cell phone or mobile device that implements the MID Profile. Developers can build visually-rich applications using GUI elements such as TextAreas and Gauges or directly drawn graphics and images.

TCP/IP simulation: Simplicity's MID Emulator offers full network access through the development workstation. Applications can be built using network sockets or the http protocol. This allows the development, testing, and debugging of wireless client applications for J2ME/MIDP-enabled mobile devices.
