Showcased at this week’s CTIA Enterprise & Applications conference, Myriad’s latest Alien release not only enables Android apps to run across non-Android smartphone platforms, but now enables the Android ecosystem to be extended across multiple devices and screens such as tablets, e-books, TVs, automotives and even avionics.
Simon Wilkinson, Chief Executive Officer, Myriad Group said, We are delighted to have Myriad Alien Dalvik 2.0 recognized by LAPTOP Magazine’s Best of CTIA Fall 2011 Awards for Best Enabling Technology. Alien Dalvik 2.0 is the first step towards creating a single app standard and marks yet another key milestone for Myriad Android innovations. At Myriad, we pride ourselves on breaking down technological barriers and industry silos to create a more flexible, consistent user experience, so that users can enjoy content seamlessly from one device to the next.
Alien Dalvik 2.0 allows app store owners and publishers to quickly transcend multiple platforms and screens, leveraging existing software and middleware, all without compromising performance. Furthermore, Alien Dalvik 2.0 enables developers to create once and use many times, while allowing operators, OEMs, and even enterprise to streamline app rollout – taking the headache out of platform fragmentation and content management.
