Denver, CO - Cortado, the mobile business expert, announced at the BlackBerry® Developer Conference 2009 in San Francisco, an exciting competition offering BlackBerry® developers a chance to win great prizes. It calls on developers to test Cortado's new, Java-based CHAPI (Content Handling API, JSR-211) interface and submit suggestions for the best and most original use of printing within an application.
Interested developers can find out more information and apply for access to the beta version of the latest Cortado solutions with CHAPI interface at www.cortado.com/win. The deadline for submission for the "Apps need printing!" competition is December 9, 2009. In addition to originality, expected market opportunity will also be a factor when deciding the winners. First, second and third place winners will receive a Nintendo Wii as well as a Cortado marketing and partner package worth $5,000 USD.
"A printing function could increase the usefulness of many mobile apps, thereby improving market opportunities," says Thorsten Hesse, Director of Sales for Cortado and Member of the Management Board. ”Our standardized print interface makes it very easy to enable any other type of mobile application which works with the same CHAPI interface to print."
One example of an application that is already equipped with a CHAPI interface to work with Cortado is Documents To Go, the mobile Office Suite of DataViz. "Our customers, who work with Word, PowerPoint or Excel on their smartphones, can now print their documents while away from the office. This has been a highly requested feature from our Documents To Go customer base and we are pleased to see the feature now available, says Shari Hoffman, Product Manager Documents To Go at DataViz, a strategic Cortado partner.
By the end of the year, Cortado plans to provide BlackBerry® smartphone users with its printing service for free. Providers of BlackBerry smartphone applications will also benefit from the service because they will be able to add the "Print" function to their own app at no cost.
