FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rococo Software Launches Bluetooth Developer Kit Early Adopter Program for Palm OS and Linux San Francisco, California – March 27, 2002 – Rococo Software, builder of Bluetooth™ application development tools, announces an Early Adopter Program for Impronto Developer Kit, the world’s first standards-based Java tool for developing Bluetooth applications. To kick-off the program, Rococo is demonstrating Impronto DK, Palm OS Edition at JavaOne with a Palm-based instant messenger. The messaging application, written with Impronto DK, allows real-time instant messaging with a Bluetooth-enabled Palm. “The response to the instant messenger at JavaOne has been very positive,” said Rococo CEO, Sean O’Sullivan. “We now look forward to working with early adopters in bringing Impronto DK to market.” Impronto Developer Kit (DK) for both Palm OS and Linux implement standard Java APIs for Bluetooth Wireless Technology (JABWT). A wireless application written with Impronto DK will run on any standard Bluetooth Java platform without making changes to the code. “Impronto DK extends the core premise of Java—write once, run anywhere,” said CTO and Rococo co-founder, Karl McCabe. “Now, developers can quickly build truly portable Java applications while making full use of Bluetooth technology.” For detailed platform and hardware information see www.rococosoft.com/products/data.html or visit Rococo Software at booth #601 at JavaOne.
