LOS ALTOS, CA--(Marketwire - March 30, 2011) - GENWI (http://genwi.com), the largest provider of convenient, single platform solutions to design, develop, monetize, and distribute applications for multiple mobile systems including iPhone, Android, and iPad, today announced an enhanced release of iSites, its Do-It-Yourself, zero-code, cloud-based instant HTML5 app for iOS devices. The new platform enables simple HTML5 implementation for all iPhone models, and iPad will soon follow.
The new iSites InstantApp exploits the latest rich-media capabilities of HTML5 to make video previews and multi-image views standard, simplifying the development process and offering advanced features to even the least technically savvy developers. Quickly, affordably and easily transform your website, blog or other cloud-based product into an iPhone and iPad application with GENWI's seamless iSites InstantApp service.
By employing a combination of HTML5/CSS3, AJAX & JavaScript technologies, iSites enables content publishers to quickly create and self-manage custom-branded smartphone applications. Anyone can design an application once and publish to multiple mobile platforms -- the HTML5 app is available immediately, without having to wait for app store approvals.
"The apps created through iSites are now so feature-rich and robust that it's hard to tell them apart from native iPhone and Android apps. The new interface makes it easy for businesses with rich media needs, like fashion or sports, to beautifully showcase their content," said PJ Gurumohan, CEO and co-founder of GENWI.
Enhanced features in the latest iSites release include video previews and multi-image views. New page transition and pull-to-load capabilities were previously found only in native applications, but are now also available to any developer through InstantApps. Social sharing enhancements encourage greater interaction among mobile users, by enabling them to tweet or 'like' content right from the start page.
