AOL Open Mobile Platform 1.0
Last February AOL announced that AOL Open Mobile Platform would be available at summer time. Since then I did not notice any big news about it. There is no announcement on AOL OMP website or blog yet, but I received an email about OMP 1.0 release:
You have previously registered on the AOL Developer Network site http://dev.aol.com to receive more information about the AOL Open Mobile Platform when it becomes available. This message is to let you know that the AOL Open Mobile Platform 1.0 code is now available for download on SourceForge.net at the URL https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmobileplt/.
Please use the SourceForge Developer Forums for the project to send questions to the OMP team.
As AOL promised, OMP supports BREW, Java ME, Blackberry, Windows Mobile (C++ only?), Symbian and even Maemo. Android and iPhone are not in the list, since this project is based on some work from AirMedia in 2005. The source code is released under Apache License 2.0, together with documentation and sample applications (MapQuest, OpenAIM, Photo Viewer, LBS Coupon, RSS Reader.) The server package is Java based.
The following quotes from the original announcement probably is the best summary about what it is:
The AOL Open Mobile Platform is based on proven technology acquired by AOL that has been deployed across more than 150 different handsets on carrier networks in the U.S. The platform will consist of three components: an XML-based, next-generation markup language; an ultra-lightweight mobile device client; and an application server. A dynamic presentation layer will allow for rapid deployment of new features and easy optimization for a wide variety of mobile devices, allowing developers to build and update applications once, and then distribute them across all supported devices and platforms.
In addition, it will be possible to integrate applications built using the AOL Open Mobile Platform with third-party APIs, as well as with AOL’s open APIs for AIM, AOL Mail, AOL Video, MapQuest, Userplane, Truveo, Winamp, and others. The AOL Open Mobile Platform will also give developers the ability to monetize their mobile applications by utilizing advertising resources, such as clickable banner ads, provided by AOL’s Platform-A.
Do you know of specific examples where someone has developed a popular app and used AOL Open Mobile Platform to make it work on multiple mobile platforms?
Sorry, I don’t know.
