Rhomobile has updated application development environment for enterprises, Rhodes, to version 1.2. The update adds support for the push sync of data on the iPhone and BlackBerry. The Rhodes framework allows developers to leverage their existing HTML skills rather than Objective-C or other complex native device operating system languages to create native applications for smartphones, including the iPhone and BlackBerry but also the Windows Mobile, Symbian and Android platforms.

Version 1.2 uses the iPhone 3.0 SDK push APIs and the BlackBerry Enterprise Server Push APIs to allow immediate updates of important application information to users' smartphones. "The addition of push data capabilities in Rhodes 1.2 allowed us to add alerting features to our application such as customized, real-time notifications when network outages occur," said Aeroprise CEO Dan Turchin— a provider of Mobile Service Management applications and Rhomobile ISV— in a statement.
