Genuitec and the Eclipse Foundation are going mobile.
Genuitec's proposed project, FireFly, has received the go-ahead from the Foundation and in the coming months will explore creating rich Internet applications (RIAs) for the mobile Web.
FireFly will be part of the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) project and is currently slated to release with Eclipse 3.5. Users can expect to see the following applications in the proposed FireFly dev kit:
previewer
debugger
Web rendering kit
device service access framework
deployment framework
educational resources
The massive adoption of smart phones such as the iPhone has led nearly all players in the tech space to start developing for mobile devices (the project will include development tools and examples for the iPhone and G1 phone). This trend could be foreshadowing a change that could likely be larger than Web 2.0, as "phones" are becoming more accessible and prominent than laptops, and Genuitec is pleased to be a part of this forward-moving trend with the Eclipse Foundation.
