ProSyst Software AG has released 3.0 versions of its mGUI Java library for embedded Linux devices and its mBrowser Java-based browser. The improved tools feature extremely small memory footprints and rich multimedia and TV features, according to ProSyst, and are meant for use in mobile phones, handhelds, set-top-boxes, digital TVs, and automotive infotainment systems.

ProSyst says the new releases of mGUI Library and mBrowser enable developers to create services and applications that can run on any platform embedded in vehicles, smart homes, and especially mobile devices. mGUI and mBrowser are available as standalone implementations, or as service packages for ProSyst's service delivery platform, mBedded Server. They may also be used with any other framework compliant with the OSGi Service Platform Release 3, according to ProSyst.

mGUI Library is a Java GUI library for embedded devices. Its structure, speed, size, and memory consumption are especially designed and optimized for use on platforms with limited resources, according to ProSyst. In addition, mGUI has extensive support for TV-screen resolutions.

mBrowser is a Java-based Web browser. The browser has a small memory footprint, according to ProSyst, and can be customized to be easily embedded into resource-constrained devices. Despite its low memory consumption, it supports most Web standards, such as HTTP, SSL, HTML 4.0, JavaScript, XML, and CSS, providing a fully-featured browsing experience, the company claims. Plugins for Flash, MP3, and AVI files can turn mBrowser into a multimedia player, says ProSyst, while the TV-oriented look and feel of the user interface meets the specific requirements of TV-screens.
