Flash Lite Development

The Flash Lite player is rapidly gaining global mobile adoption. COP and its vendor partners have been involved with developing for Flash Lite content since its inception, helping Macromedia to showcase Flash Lite's strengths in the mobile environment. We can also help you create content tailored to overcome the constraints of mobile device development such as limited memory, a small number of available colors, small screen size, and low processor speeds. 

At COP, we satisfy consumer demand by creating stunning mobile experiences that are far more immersive than anything else in the industry today. This helps game companies keep their mobile multimedia user experiences fresh and exciting. And COP and its vendor partners achieve all this while paying particular attention to customizing experience for better brand recognition. Plus, we can build interactivity into the user experience for your games with an easy way to purchase. Think of this as game TV spot or infomercial meets cell phone point of purchase.

Best of all, we eliminate need for code and assets for each individual handset. A single source can work for multiple handsets because we develop for screen sizes and processor speeds, not each unique handset. This drastically cuts costs and accelerates time to market.

At the end of the day, after we create your mobile multimedia experiences, you'll have exciting creative, affordable technology and a service you can use to generate revenue right away.

Mobile Game Porting

The biggest challenge for mobile game and application developers is the porting and testing. Unlike the other gaming devices, in mobile gaming there are around 650+ devices that support J2ME. Porting to a good number of devices is a must for developers to reach global audience. Together with vendor partners, COP offers a cost effective and high quality porting and testing services for leading mobile compaines

Porting:

• J2ME Porting. (Midp 1 and Midp 2)
• Cross platform Porting. (J2ME to Brew and Brew to J2ME)
• Operator specific Porting. (Cingular, Vodafone, T-Mobile, Orange, Rogers, Sprint, FIDO, Nextel, Telus, Rogers, Alltel, etc)
• Flashlite and Symbian Porting.

Mobile Application Testing

Each mobile handset released which supports J2ME has a reference emulator for the developer to test his application or a game. But from our past experience in mobile game development, emulators can only be trusted for 10% of assurance. Most leading publishers and developers go for real device testing for their mobile games. COP and its vendor partners offer a cost effective real device testing with OTA support and gives a Quality Assurance (QA) service for mobile game testing.

Our services includes:

• Functionality Testing
• Environmental Testing
• Performance Testing
• OTA Testing
