AppForge has made available its newest mobile application development software.

Recently re-branded AppForge MobileVB, this release includes new features such as Short Message Service (SMS) and Telephony, as well as support for the Nokia 9200 series Communicator. Microsoft Visual Basic developers can now target multiple devices and operating systems including Palm OS, Pocket PC, and Symbian OS.

With AppForge MobileVB, the company said application developers can quickly move their applications to any AppForge supported platform. AppForge said in most cases, the developer must only optimize the screens and dialog boxes for the target device, and then re-compile.

The suggested retail price of AppForge MobileVB is $899. Registered users of earlier versions of AppForge Professional can upgrade to MobileVB for $200. Registered users of AppForge Standard Edition can upgrade to MobileVB for $300. Registered users of AppForge Personal Edition can upgrade to MobileVB for $600. Registered users of AppForge Personal Edition can upgrade to MobileVB lite for $69.
