Aplix Corporation (TSE: 3727), a global leader in deploying Java™ technology on mobile devices, and TTPCom Limited (TTPCom) announced today a long-term collaboration to offer a pre-integrated version of JBlend™ on TTPCom's AJAR platform. Both companies have also streamlined access to the integrated solution by licensing the rights necessary to enable single-source delivery of the bundled offering to Aplix's and TTPCom's common customers.


By pre-integrating JBlend on the AJAR platform, the number of steps required to utilize the integrated solution is dramatically reduced for handset manufacturers. This simplified solution benefits the handset manufacturers when meeting the ever evolving Java requirements from wireless carriers. The solution, therefore, dramatically reduces the time-to-market for companies utilizing the AJAR platform.


"OEMs are increasingly requesting more 'pre-integrated' platform solutions to simplify development, while still desiring leading features and flexibility inherent in JBlend," said Wesley Kuo, president and CSO, Aplix. "TTPCom's AJAR platform, pre-integrated with Aplix's JBlend, is a major milestone in helping OEMs to achieve this goal and ensure faster time to market for their products."


"Manufacturers are under intense pressure to deliver differentiated handsets with increasing levels of functionality," said Morten Iversen, Director, Partnership Programmes at TTPCom. "By embedding Aplix's innovative JBlend product on the AJAR platform, we enable our customers to deploy the solution more quickly and cost effectively."
