iAnywhere simplifies the development of database-powered mobile Web applications with free M-Business Anywhere Developer Edition and new integration with SQL Anywhere Studio.

DUBLIN, Calif. - February 18, 2004 /Wi-Fi Technology News/- iAnywhere Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of Sybase, Inc. (NYSE: SY), announced the availability of the free M-Business Anywhere? Developer Edition, which enables developers to deliver Web-based content and applications to PDAs with minimal recoding.

In addition, the company unveiled new integration with SQL Anywhere? Studio, enabling developers to leverage the market-leading mobile database to create data-driven Web-based mobile applications.

M-Business Anywhere now combines the speed and low TCO of Web development with the power and sophistication of SQL Anywhere Studio for on-device data and synchronization," said Ojas Rege, senior director of Mobile Solutions at iAnywhere. "With M-Business Anywhere, developers can quickly and easily deliver a wide range of Web-based applications right to the palm of users' hands. And with the new, free Developer Edition, they can take M-Business Anywhere out for a test drive to really get a feel for its capabilities."

"We have relied on M-Business Anywhere for many years to deliver time-sensitive information to Republican senators' mobile devices," said Tim Petty, director of Information Resources for the U.S. Senate Republican Conference. "With the new Developer Edition, developers can see for themselves how simple it is to mobilize Web content and enterprise applications."

M-Business Anywhere is the core technology of the popular AvantGo? mobile Internet service, which has more than 10 million registered users worldwide. The platform enables companies to mobilize internal and external Web sites as well as a wide range of back-end enterprise applications including CRM, ERP, field service, data collection, inspection, help desk and business intelligence solutions.

In addition, iAnywhere introduced integration for M-Business Anywhere with SQL Anywhere Studio's UltraLite? technology, a key component of the company's market-leading mobile database. Integration between UltraLite and M-Business Anywhere allows enterprises to create mobile applications with all the benefits of a relational database on the device and the development and deployment advantages of a Web-based architecture.

Always Available Access: Critical for Mobile Enterprise Computing
