Pronto ++ - A Software & Systems Platform Developed By Philips
Do you own a Philips Pronto remote control? If so, it might surprise you to know that Philips has developed a new technology called Pronto ++. Pronto ++ is a complete software framework that allows you to develop applications that run on Java and the Pronto ++ framework. What is cool about this is that it will run on devices using the new Intel X-Scale architecture. Philips will introduce this in a few weeks on a grander scale when they introduce the new Photo remote. Philips is in the process of putting together a Pronto ++ development kit which will allow the development of applications for these devices, with the backend services infrastructure that they have in place. Of course the big question I asked is, what are you going to do when people start to hack the stuff? Although it isn't Philips' official policy yet, they think they would embrace it, since it would really help to get this platform off and going. It would also help develop new and exciting applications for the Pronto ++ platform.
