Stream Real-Time Data to Mobile Apps

One of the tasks recently completed by the Lightstreamer engineering team has been to provide maximum support for all mobile platforms, so that any mobile app for any device could easily become real-time enabled.

The new release of Lightstreamer, codename Duomo, which will be publicly available next week, will contain a lot of exciting new features to extend the power of Lightstreamer's push to every mobile clients.

For each mobile platform, a dedicated full-blown SDK is provided, containing native libs, documentation, and source-code examples and demos. Supported platforms are: Android, iOS, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Java ME.

Lightstreamer has a New Logo

After ten years' great service, it was time to replace the Lightstreamer logo with a brand new one, more up to date and stylish.

New iPhone and iPad Lightstreamer Example

Next Lightstreamer version, codename Duomo, will have many new exciting features, including some brand new client APIs. We now directly cover all the mobile app technologies out there, including iOS. We have recently published on Apple Store a simple iOS application that is a good example of how to leverage the iOS Client API for Lightstreamer inside an Objective-C application.

Previously, to develop iOS applications that could receive real-time data from Lightstreamer Server you had to use a third-party client library. Now we provide our own officially supported API.

The new example, provided with full source code, shows a simple grid updated in real-time with market data generated by Lightstreamer Server. Such application automatically adapts to both iPhone and iPad.
