Ideaworks Labs Launches Airplay Arcade to Bring Leading Smartphone Games to Handheld Gaming Devices
AUSTIN, Texas, October 5, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Ideaworks Labs (http://www.ideaworkslabs.com/), developers of the Airplay SDK (http://www.airplaysdk.com/) for multi-platform game and application development across smartphones and tablets, today announces the launch of Airplay Arcade (http://www.airplayarcade.com/), a new product enabling content created with Airplay SDK to migrate seamlessly to handheld gaming devices including PSP(TM).
Together with Airplay SDK, Airplay Arcade provides the world's first publicly available solution for bringing premium games simultaneously to iOS, Android, PSP(TM) and a host of other smartphone platforms.
"We used Airplay SDK to develop Ubrain (http://www.ubraintonic.com/), a unique digital tonic to change your mood while listening to your own music for iPhone, iPad, Android, Samsung Bada and PC, recently published by Digital Reality and already available on the App Store and Android Market" said Risa Cohen, Producer, Ubrain. "By also licensing Airplay Arcade, we were able to bring Ubrain to PSP(TM) at a fraction of the cost and time-to-market of the traditional porting route. The technical support provided by Ideaworks has been outstanding throughout the development, submission and release cycle."
Airplay's philosophy is multi-platform, not just cross-platform. So although Airplay truly delivers a solution that allows developers to write once and run across platforms, it doesn't just stop there. Rather, Airplay offers platform-specific extensions that enable developers to exploit the differentiating features of each platform. For Airplay Arcade, that means tapping into features such as the analog controller and memory stick on PSP(TM).
Airplay Arcade is licensed on a per-game per-platform basis, starting at $10,000 and reducing to $5,000 for volume licences. Full details are available at http://www.airplayarcade.com/licensing
Airplay SDK allows developers to compile a single codebase to native CPU instructions, then deploy with one click to all iOS, Android, Bada, Symbian, Windows Mobile, webOS and BREW devices. The traditional costs of porting between operating systems and devices are vastly reduced, meaning that developers can afford to target multiple platforms and thus hugely increase their addressable market from around 100m Apple devices to over 500m smartphone and featurephone devices globally.
