ACCESS has demonstrated the ACCESS Linux Platform here at 3GSM. ACCESS Linux Platform or ALP, is a Linux-based software platform that is optimized for running on mobile devices such as phones. The user interface of the OS is GTK-based.

Demonstrations of the platform were shown on TI OMAP and Marvell PX3xx-based devices, which were running telephony, messaging as well as multimedia applications. The platform natively includes applications such as the NetFront web browser, HandMail, iMessenger, HotSync (with a Windows-based frontend) and other normal applications for multimedia, camera and PIM. Communication wise, the platform includes support for WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, USB as well as the TCP/IP network stack.

ALP also includes a compatibility layer for ACCESS Garnet OS (a.k.a. Palm OS Garnet), called ACCESS Garnet VM, to run legacy applications for the operating system.

ALP Product Development Kits, Software Development Suite and Garnet VM Compatibility kits are ready and are being distributed to developers and licensees.
