Mobile Distillery is offering new tools to convert iPhone applications to programs for other smartphones and feature phones.

Mobile Distillery's technology parametric development methodology makes conversion of iPhone apps to Java ME phones and other platforms such as BREW, Windows Mobile and Google Android, faster and easier.

Their news release says that "companies can quickly and effectively reach the other 80% of Smartphone users who don't have an iPhone, as well as potentially reaching out to the billions of subscribers using mid and low end handsets."

Using Mobile Distillery's Alembic knowledge database, which combines more than 1,300 fully tested characteristics, behaviors and performances of 1000+ handsets worldwide, Mobile Distillery can easily measure and predict the compatibility of an iPhone application in advance.

Celsius enables the application to be ported across specific Java ME, Android, BREW and Windows Mobile handsets using just one set of source code. All the resources of the iPhone application (text, images, animations, sounds) are managed and optimized within Celsius combining streamlined processes and automated resource management tools.

"The iPhone has shown tremendous success and is a hit with developers, but they also need to reach a much larger share of the one billion handsets that are sold every year," said Eric Lemarechal, Co-founder and CEO of Mobile Distillery.

"Taking advantage of our unique expertise in Java ME technologies and testing services, companies can now have a quick and easy way to take the success they have achieved with their iPhone application and apply it to the mass market," said Vincent Berge, Co-founder and General Manager of Mobile Distillery.

Major application developers and integrators, including web specialists, mobile marketing agencies and IT services companies have already adopted Mobile Distillery's software solutions to develop Java mobile content and services and reach the broadest range of devices worldwide
