SAN BRUNO, CA--(Marketwire - February 5, 2008) - Devicescape Software today introduced the Devicescape Developer Community -- a special program designed to speed evaluations and encourage non commercial innovation. Devicescape has made its source code more easily available to developers to add to their applications and for testing and experimenting on devices and platforms. By joining the Devicescape Developer Community, developers can now license the Devicescape Connect 2.0 software for free using a simple form and license agreement available online.

"Our mission at Devicescape is to expand the ease of use and the value of mobile internet services," said Dave Fraser, CEO of Devicescape. "By expanding the ease with which a company or individual can engage with and integrate our technology into their devices and applications, we hope to accelerate the delivery of new Wi-Fi products and services to consumers."

With the rapidly expanding Wi-Fi marketplace, device manufacturers are looking for an efficient way to connect Wi-Fi enabled devices to the internet. Devicescape offers a simple, cost-effective way to enable automatic Wi-Fi connections in devices and applications. The Devicescape Developer Community, intended for enthusiasts as well as commercial developers, grants a license release for the development of up to ten devices.
