Found in:Mobile News,

Opera Software has introduced an application framework for running advanced web applications on mobile phones using "Asynchronous JavaScript and XML," otherwise known as AJAX. Opera Platform enables a phone's local applications to be integrated with online content ranging from ordinary websites to advanced business support systems, according to the company.

AJAX enables the development of web applications that support dynamic updating of a page rather than entirely refreshing it. Such applications are increasingly popular for desktop computers, according to Opera, but the technology is even more appropriate for mobile phones, where slower network capacity and limited input methods have created barriers for user adoption.

Opera contends that using open standards Web technologies to create mobile applications is significantly easier and more cost efficient than traditional approaches. Web developers can "quickly and affordably" create new mobile applications and exisitng applications can easily be adapted to fit the mobile phone, the company says.
