M-Business Anywhere Gets A Reload

Release 6.7 focuses on user interface, new devices and inspection toolkit

By P J Connolly

February 15, 2008 — Developers seeking to improve GPS integration with mobile applications may have a new arrow in the quiver, thanks to Sybase.

Sybase iAnywhere’s Information Anywhere suite got a January last month: new menu customization, expanded platform support and enhancements to the Mobile Inspection Toolkit.

The M-Business Anywhere component for application enablement, which supported Palm, Windows Mobile 5 and Win32 platforms, now also runs on Symbian Series 60 (third edition), Windows Mobile 6 and Windows Vista desktop and tablet editions.

Flash I/O access was added “to our existing support for Windows Mobile 5,” said Yadong Liu, senior product manager with Sybase iAnywhere.

M-Business Anywhere 6.7 lets developers tailor the client user interface on a device using JavaScript, providing “a more dynamic… user experience,” Liu noted.

The Mobile Inspection Toolkit, designed for field inspection and survey applications, now offers camera and GPS synchronization, in both PDAs and laptops.

Liu described the kit as “a forms builder for the mobile inspection [and] field survey market. It includes out-of-the-box inspection workflow management and … a dashboard where you can administer the forms building [process] and the inspectors and also view the analytics and the reporting side.” The kit also permits the incorporation of GPS information and photos into survey results and provides integrated tracking of an inspector’s position.
