Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) issued a new version of its Windows Azure Toolkit optimized for Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG)
Android mobile operating system, promising developers an easier, more
cost-effective approach to building cloud-based mobile applications
targeting multiple device platforms. The toolkit includes native
libraries providing support for storage and authN/Z, a sample
application and unit tests, all built in Eclipse and leveraging the
Android SDK. The Windows Azure Tooklit for Android is available for download here.
Microsoft initially released Windows Azure Toolkits for its own Windows Phone 7 and Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS in early May--updated versions of both rolled out last week, with Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone v1.3.0 available for download here and Windows Azure Toolkit for iOS v1.2.1
here. All three free toolkits enable developers to use cloud services
as a back-end to support common requirements like device notifications,
authentication, storage and leaderboards--according to Microsoft,
developers also can enhance performance by writing client code optimized
for each platform.
