Mobile Distillery will be exhibiting and providing demonstrations at CTIA (1 to 3 April) at its booth 8760, in the Central Hall.

1. Mobile Distillery will demonstrate Alembic v2.0, the second iteration of its unique device knowledge database and device characteristic search engine.

This in-depth and knowledgeable database allows developers and marketing managers to analyse the market potential of mobile applications. They can plan and prototype on accurate data extracted from a database of more than 1,000+ fully tested behaviors, characteristics and performances. Additionally, this new version of Alembic will enable Mobile Distillery to offer companies customized versions to fit their specific needs.

2. Mobile Distillery will showcase Celsius v5.5, the upcoming version of its scalable, collaborative, standards-based mobile application framework. Celsius allows developers to easily develop and automatically port their content to the broadest range of existing and upcoming handsets ensuring the content will take the best advantage of each device’s capabilities.

New to Celsius v5.5 is an optimized and intuitive UI offering the power of Celsius to a broader community of developers with advanced features such as snapshot camera, touchscreen and video-audio streaming.

With Celsius v5.5, Mobile Distillery will also introduce new cross platform capabilities enabling JavaME-to-iPhone* translation and JavaME-to-Android translation, complementing the current Java ME, BREW* and Windows Mobile* modules.

Additionally, four new modules will be shown, building on Mobile Distillery’s technological partnerships that encourage the uptake of advanced capabilities in mass market handsets:

· Near Field Communication (NFC)

Mobile Distillery and Twinlinx will present their latest development breakthrough whereby a sticker can be used to turn any Bluetooth-enabled handset into a fully featured NFC device. Thanks to the unique Celsius module, 30% of handsets in the market can now run mobile applications using NFC features.

· Security - integration of Bouncy Castle’s cryptography.
· Payment - integration of the Neocom technology.
· Location-Based services

LBS solutions provider deCarta and Mobile Distillery are announcing their partnership which makes it possible to easily create LBS content that is automatically ported with Celsius to multiple handsets from one single source code. The integration of the two solutions provides massive productivity savings for deCarta developers. For Mobile Distillery developers it opens up opportunities to create location enabled applications and takes full advantage of the deCarta LBS API in just a few clicks.
