- ComponentOne Studio for iPhone Brings You Controls that Mimic 
iPhone and iPod touch User Interfaces

With the advent of mobile technology, more and more people are using an
iPhone as their on-the-go method of connecting to the World Wide Web. For
those who develop Web applications, the task is to build Web applications
that mimic the user interface (UI) of the iPhone and iPod touch devices. In
response to the trend and demand, ComponentOne, a leading component vendor in
the Microsoft Visual Studio Industry Partner Program, has announced a suite
of Microsoft ASP.NET controls named Studio for iPhone.

In the third quarter of 2008, ComponentOne announced the Community
Technology Preview of Studio for iPhone. Today, this suite of controls, which
allows developers to mimic the look and feel of the iPhone and iPod touch
UIs, has been released to general availability.

"ComponentOne Studio for iPhone works with the power of ASP.NET to create
cutting-edge Web sites that mimic the iPhone and iPod touch UI when rendered
in Mobile Safari," said Chris Meredith, product manager at ComponentOne.

Meredith explained that the Studio for iPhone suite includes navigation
lists, calendars, views, tab bars, cover flow, and various controls, such as
buttons and sliders. They also incorporate the unique iPhone UI elements such
as animation, portrait or landscape views, and touch navigation. He went on
to mention that ComponentOne Studio for iPhone is the first and only ASP.NET
control suite in the industry for building this type of Web application.

"With the ComponentOne Studio for iPhone release, developers are
introduced to a suite of components previously unavailable, that allows them
to easily create iPhone-styled applications using the ASP.NET Framework,"
said Lauren Cooney, group product manager at Microsoft Corp. "Along with
sharing our commitment to increasing developer productivity, ComponentOne is
working with the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment by allowing
ASP.NET developers to create a custom view of Web applications."

Developers will be able to effortlessly build Web applications with
Studio for iPhone without the hassle of learning a new technology. All
controls are rich AJAX-enabled Web controls. "Developers can start building
applications from day one, there is no new technology to learn as this suite
of controls are AJAX compliant and feature rich client-side object models
built on the ASP.NET Framework," said Meredith.

ComponentOne will include Studio for iPhone in their Studio Enterprise
offering. Studio Enterprise, the company's flagship product, is a
