FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rococo Software and Extended Systems Bring Java/Bluetooth to Wireless Developers and OEMs Dublin, Ireland – February 14, 2002 – Wireless Java company, Rococo Software announces today it will integrate Extended Systems’ Bluetooth software stack XTNDAccess Blue SDK with Rococo’s Impronto Developer Kit. With this agreement, Java developers can access the market’s leading Bluetooth stack with easy-to-use, standards-based Java APIs from Rococo. "Rococo offers a fast, easy solution to Java developers who want to work with the Extended Systems Bluetooth stack," said Ross O'Crowley, Rococo Software's Director of Business Development. "The growing demand for Java APIs over Bluetooth is evidence that Java is quickly becoming a key platform for wireless developers." According to Rococo CTO, Karl McCabe, “Rococo’s Impronto Developer Kit (DK), available in April, naturally fits with Extended Systems’ Bluetooth software. “Impronto DK already runs on the PalmOS, which uses Extended Systems’ stack, so this step more fully integrates Impronto DK with Extended Systems’ software.” "Extended Systems welcomes Rococo’s work with Java. From the beginning it has been our goal to provide Java-compatible Bluetooth support to developers who want to develop and execute Java applications," explained Glade Diviney, Extended Systems' Embedded R&D Manager. "By integrating our Bluetooth stack with Java, Extended Systems and Rococo bring together two important technologies."
