[ANN] REAL Software Announces Mac OS X Strategy for 2006:
REALbasic to Support Cocoa
AUSTIN, Texas, USA (January 9, 2006) -- REAL Software,
provider of REALbasic, cross-platform that really works,
announced today that REALbasic will support Cocoa, Apple
Computer's framework for Mac OS X software development.
"Adding Cocoa support to REALbasic clearly affirms our commitment to
the Mac," stated Geoff Perlman, president and CEO of REAL Software.
"Cocoa support will enable us to incorporate great new technologies
from Apple more quickly and more easily than ever before, and will
result in better, more feature-rich software for Mac OS X."
"REALbasic is our preferred development environment because
it really improves our productivity," stated Bryan Lund,
principal developer at independent software vendor Radical
Breeze. "However, we recently had to use a different
development tool that provided Cocoa support. When REALbasic
supports Cocoa, we will definitely be using REALbasic
exclusively once again, and we're looking forward to the
speed and ease of development we'll gain by using REALbasic."
REAL Software is building a new REALbasic platform layer
based on Apple's Cocoa framework. Major 3rd party REALbasic
plug-in developers plan to support the new REALbasic Cocoa
framework as well.
Intel-based Mac Support
Concurrent with Cocoa support, REAL Software will also
deliver support for Universal Binaries, Apple's technology
that enables a single application to run natively on both
Intel and PowerPC architectures.
Pricing and Availability
Support for Cocoa and Universal Binaries will ship later this
year and will be delivered via the REALbasic Rapid Release
model. Any customer with a current update plan at the time of
release will have access to these new features at no additional cost.
