Introducing Ice Touch - Ice for your iPhone

[mes]

We are excited to announce the release of Ice Touch -- Ice for your iPhone.

The iPhone and iPod touch are terrific platforms for mobile applications, but for devices with such extensive networking features the iPhone SDK provides surprisingly little assistance to developers who are creating networked applications. We've created Ice Touch to fill that void.

With a fully-featured implementation of the Ice run time and protocol, Ice Touch makes it easy to develop networked applications for the iPhone and iPod touch. High-level and easy-to-use APIs, neatly integrated with Objective-C and the Cocoa framework, let you focus your efforts on application development instead of wasting your time writing complex low-level networking code.

You can read more about Ice Touch on the product page or download it right now.

We are releasing Ice Touch as a ZeroC Labs product to get your feedback. We are especially interested in feedback on the new Objective-C language mapping, and we encourage you to post your comments and questions on our user forums. We have also created a special version of the Ice manual that contains new material on the Objective-C language mapping. Please refer to our release notes for important information about the features and limitations of this release.

If you haven't gotten an iPhone or iPod touch yet, now there is one more reason to get one (or both)!

Best regards,
The ZeroC Team
