Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY), a leading provider of enterprise infrastructure
and mobile software, today announced that it plans to expand its support
of mobile platforms to include devices based on the Androidâ„¢
platform. Sybase currently targets a wide range of devices and platforms
across its mobile middleware and mobile services offerings, supporting
more than 230 Windows Mobile, Symbian, Palm, RIM and iPhone handheld
devices, as well as Windows laptops and tablets. With this announcement,
Sybase continues to be proactive in addressing the mixed device
requirements of today’s businesses.

“It is exciting to see that the emergence of
platforms such as Android, combined with the backing of the companies in
the Open Handset Alliance, including Google, are fueling even more rapid
innovation across the entire mobility industry, and will continue to
blur the line between consumer and enterprise use,”
said Dr. Raj Nathan, chief marketing officer, Sybase. “This
is consistent with Sybase’s Unwired Enterprise
vision. We see a future where information can be shared from any system
to any user, with the same rich and consistent user experience whether
in the office or on the road, on any device.”
