MachBlue Mobile is an award-winning platform for mobile phones that powers dazzling user interfaces (UI) and user experiences (UX) by supporting the Flash® SWF format with Bleustreak Action Script extensions:
• Mobile TV electronic program guides with transparent video overlay and dynamic updating
• Total MMI rebranding
• Sophisticated video and music applications, including those for off-deck media management when user is not connected to the network
• Live TV and event broadcasting using complimentary DVB-H, 3G, and VOD technologies
• Homescreen and shortcut applications
MachBlue’s unique APIs give complete control over device functionality, without the need for low-level coding. The platform also minimizes memory usage, maximizes execution speed, and retains application portability.
Developers use MachBlue Studio, in tandem with Adobe® Flash®—the world’s leading off-the-shelf UI authoring tool—to quickly create mobile applications. And the same developers can easily use MachBlue Studio to create companion applications for digital TV set-top boxes.
MachBlue Mobile is deployed by leading operators such as Orange.
Cross-Device Compatibility
MachBlue’s cross-platform capabilities bridge the gap between different makes and models of handsets, making it possible for wireless operators and handset OEMs to create a customized, branded user experience that is uniform across all devices.
It also offers direct compatibility with MachBlue TV, a platform that provides in-home iTV experiences to millions of subscribers. Wireless carriers can now partner directly with cable, satellite, and IPTV providers to deliver unified quad-play solutions for multi-service subscribers.
