August 7, 2008: The Isla ballroom of the EDSA Shangri-la Hotel was filled with software developers and engineers to join Globe telecom, Inc. and its technological partners in launching of Globe Labs. The convention featured the formal openning of the Globe SMS/MMS API (application programming interface) to the opensource trend providing developers the capacity to program mobile based application that uses SMS/MMS without the dilemma of hardware interfacing. Now, instead of using your GSM module or your handset togeher with the physical coupling and the AT commands that it demands, you only need a few commands and parameters embedded on your source code to send SMS/MMS or even to receive SMS and utilize its coding as a control command for your software application.
However, It is only offered to the developers who are to join the Globe Labs Challenge. (For more information about the Globe Labs Challenge please visit www.globelabs.com.ph)
After the application demo of PinoyJUG and PhRUG where they have presented how we can use the Globe API to control online applications, the Globe Labs technological partners introduced their development tools for mobile applications - Netbeans for Sun microsystems, Microsoft studio mobile tools SDK for microsoft, Adobe flash lite and Adobe Device Central for Adobe and the use of widget for forum.nokia. They have also provided demonstrations on how easy it is to shift into the mobile application development using these softwares.
The event were enjoyed by participants from Adamson University IT, Compsci and ECE society.
