The technology will be available for free download as well as licensed to device vendors and chip manufacturers.

Carrying the concept of distributed applications where no software has gone before, DARTdevices will allow developers to create a single application that can use the unique resources of multiple devices.

Put the Dart Player on multiple devices and they all become one virtual device, according to Rich Mirabella, CEO. The Player exposes the devices content, programs and resources and any application written to the Player platform will run as if it is on one device.

"The applications spread and configure themselves," Mirabella said.

Using a technology called Renditions, the single application can also adapt to various screen sizes, dot pitch, keyboard, and other usability factors.
