Abstract

An apparatus for facilitating development of an application for a wireless-connected device including a module have a plurality of development tools for use in the creation of the application and an emulator of the wireless-connected device integrated with the module. An additional emulator for an additional wireless-connected device is also included. The module may be included in an Integrated Development Environment.

Claims

1. An apparatus for facilitating development of an application for a wireless-connected device, comprising:

a module having a plurality of development tools for use in the creation of the application; and

an emulator of the wireless-connected device integrated with the module.

2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the module is included in an Integrated Development Environment.

3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein the module is accessible through a drop-down menu in the Integrated Development Environment.

4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the emulator is designed to execute the application.

5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:

an additional emulator for an additional wireless-connected device.

6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the module is designed to allow creation and packaging of the application with a plurality of profiles without modification of the module.

7. An apparatus for facilitating development of an application for a wireless-connected device, comprising:

a module integrated with an emulator of the wireless-connected device;

means for executing the application on the emulator of the wireless-connected device; and

means for creating and packaging the application with a plurality of profiles without modification of the module.

8. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the module is included in an Integrated Development Environment.

9. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the module comprises a plurality of development tools used in the creation of the application executed on an integrated emulator of the wireless-connected device.

10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein the module is integrated with a plurality of emulators for a plurality of different wireless-connected devices.

11. A computer system for facilitating development of an application for a wireless-connected device, comprising:
