Open Mobile Platform is a platform that aims to help developers to create mobile applications acroos major mobile device operating systems (Brew, Java, Linux, RIM, Symbian, Windows Mobile). To do so, the platform uses:
- XML-based scripting language
- A device client
- An application server.
Obviously, it is easy to compare this initiative to the previous done by Google with the release of Android. However this is not an operating system but a “tool” to help developers to deploy thier application acroos the various mobile OS and platform options.
