Rococo Gets Thumbs-up from Bluetooth Simulator Users
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ROCOCO GETS THUMBS-UP FROM BLUETOOTH SIMULATOR USERS
DUBLIN, IRELAND - July 2, 2002 - Rococo Software gets the thumbs-up from
developers who evaluated Rococos Bluetooth simulation tool, Impronto
Simulator 1.1. In a survey distributed to Impronto evaluators, over 80% of
survey respondents were satisfied with the tool and commended it for ease of
use and innovative features.
Impronto Simulator 1.1 runs Java applications in a simulated Bluetooth
environment, allowing developers to simply test and configure applications
before deploying them on Bluetooth devices. The tool simulates a complete
JSR-82 (Java APIs for Bluetooth Wireless Technology) environment without
Bluetooth hardware or stacks.
"I found it useful to run the JSR-82 and GCF compliant code directly on the
simulator without any change," said one respondent. "Also, the ability to
run the devices on different machines over a network was a very useful
feature helping us to distribute load and get better performance."
In addition to implementing JSR-82, the survey rated the following features
as beneficial: easy-to-use GUI, support for J2ME, support for device and
service discovery. To date, nearly 300 developers have evaluated the
simulator. To evaluate Impronto Simulator 1.1 visit

evaluation copy of Impronto Simulator you will receive a survey via email.
Fill out the survey and you'll be entered into a contest to win a
Bluetooth-enabled Palm. Contest runs till July 31, 2002.
