Myriad’s New J2Android Converter Fuels Android Applications Gold Rush

Myriad has launched a cross-complier, J2Adroid which the company claims can seamless convert existing MIDlets into Android applications. According to the company, the tool will be ideal for device manufacturers, operator and app stores by providing access to a huge back catalogue of apps.

As per the estimates of the company, tens of thousands of MIDlet applications are already on the market, which could provide the Android community with access to a variety of rich content and create new revenue opportunities for their owners.

In the opinion of Malcolm Dawe, CPO with the Myriad Group, the technology of the company unleashes this content’s potential enabling the industry to bring to market premium Android content from day one.

The challenge now is how quickly the industry can make apps and content available to cope with user demand, as Android devices appear in greater volumes.
