FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rococo Software Releases Bluetooth Simulator San Francisco, California – March 25, 2002 - Rococo Software announces the release of Impronto Simulator, a Bluetooth application development tool that runs Java applications in a simulated Bluetooth environment. Developers using Impronto Simulator can test and configure applications without investing in costly hardware before deploying them on Bluetooth devices. “This tool is perfect for the initial stages of the development cycle, where users can develop their Java Bluetooth apps within the simulator's environment,” said Bruce Hopkins, Java Consultant. Rococo’s Chief Architect, Patrick Connolly, says, “Impronto Simulator is stable, lightweight, easy-to-configure and allows real work to start immediately without all the fuss of setting up the hardware. Even battle-hardened Bluetooth engineers appreciate the simulator’s simplicity when it comes to fast application development.“ Impronto Simulator is 100% Java and supports standard Java APIs for Bluetooth Wireless Technology (JABWT). As a member of the JSR-82 Expert Group, Rococo played a key role in defining standard Java APIs that enable the development of applications in Java conforming to the Bluetooth Specification 1.1. “The Impronto Simulator is a great tool for newcomers to the Java Bluetooth APIs,” added Hopkins. “Because the Rococo team implemented the JSR-82 standard into their product, your code can run on other compliant platforms with minimal modifications.” Features Impronto Simulator: a.. simulates a complete JABWT environment without Bluetooth hardware or stacks b.. is 100% Java and works with any standard J2SE platform c.. works with any J2ME platform (available in two weeks time) d.. runs actual application code in simulated mode e.. provides full support for L2CAP, RFCOMM, SDP and OBEX Pricing and Availability Impronto Simulator is available for download at http://www.rococosoft.com/products/purchase.html.
