14 DAY TRIAL // A company providing mobile application development tools going by the name of EachScape has announced a web-based development platform targeting companies that wish to create mobile applications for smartphones. While support will ultimately be expanded to Google’s Android and RIM platforms, EachScape’s development tools will initially enable application development for the iPhone only.
EachScape mentions in a report that two publishing companies, which it calls “giants,” have already picked up on its beta platform and are busy creating iPhone applications with it. The company claims that EachScape is the only web-based tool capable of enabling the development of original applications without using templates. This, EachScape explains, leads to companies building applications that are “native and unique.” The software uses the simple drag-and-drop functionality, which should allow anyone with even a basic understanding of design to build an iPhone application and keep it up-to-date, the report says.
“EachScape was created to help media companies and brands capitalize on the exploding popularity of mobile applications, enabling them to quickly design and launch a mobile application,” Ludo Collin, CEO and co-founder of EachScape, adds. “We believe that consumers will soon come to expect every company to have a mobile application, just as there is an expectation that every company has a Website. With EachScape, unique mobile applications can be built with ease.”
“The popularity of mobile applications stores like iPhone’s App Store and RIM’s App World means that media and brands are overwhelmed trying to quickly build high quality applications,” Collin continues. “EachScape greatly simplifies the development process. If you can design a decent PowerPoint presentation, you can now build and manage your own mobile application.”
EachScape cites the popularity of Apple’s App Store as the main reason why the company’s development platform is originally available to iPhone developers. Visit EachScape here to learn more.
