"We are pleased to welcome Amiga as a Premier member of the iPAQ Developer Program," said Joel Vincent, Product Manager, Handhelds Global Business Unit.
The Hewlett-Packard program comprises more than 15,000 members from 109 countries, including 121 universities worldwide. While the US still constitutes the largest block of members, a majority of members are from outside of the United States.
The original purpose of the program was to serve those developing iPAQ expansion sleeves. The widespread adoption of SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) and CF (Compact Flash) has shifted the program's main focus now to providing developers with finer control over unique features of the hardware, especially new features that do not yet have standard operating system support.
"The breadth of iPAQ devices enable the consumer/home and business/mobile users with extensive applications geared to their respective needs," said Greg Sigel, Amiga's vice president of sales and marketing. "The specific focus of each device, covering multimedia, imaging, productivity and business applications mirrors the development path that Amiga is pursuing with our developer community. By gaining access to the HP tools, Amiga developers can more effectively serve each market with the optimal set of graphically rich, superior performing applications."
After having recently launched its revised web site, on-line store and a host of new titles, Amiga continues to pursue an aggressive distribution strategy and product release plan of 12 new titles per quarter. The HP-Amiga partnership is a key step to enabling handheld users with premium content.
