Clayne Robison launched Intel Web 2.0 TDK, which provides royalty-free Javascript API, binary and source codes to allow you to create web applications by taking advantage of the mobile features on notebooks and UMPCs.
Create Web 2.0 application with the platform and the environment in mind. Leverage information about the platform's configuration and context to provide more expressive interactions and better user experience for your Web 2.0 applications, especially on mobile platforms where intermittent connectivity and limited power are common issues.
Imagine if your Web 2.0 application could be aware of the platform it is running on and its environment. It could, for example, leverage multi-core power to provide more immersive user interfaces, postpone certain tasks during low power situations, avoid network traffic over low bandwidth/high latency connections, etc.
The Intel® Web 2.0 Technology Development Kit (TDK) allows developers to learn about the platform's configuration, e.g. display, storage, processor, and the platform's context, e.g. bandwidth, connectivity, power and location, etc. within a browser using JavaScript.
The Intel® Web 2.0 TDK contains documentation and full source code (C++ and JavaScript) for IE 6/7. The code can be incorporated directly in your extensions or JavaScript libraries, and be redistributed royalty free.
Intel provides support through the online mobile software forums staffed by Intel software engineers to provide information on using the TDK for within Web 2.0 applications.
