Bedrock
Metismo's core product is their Java based Cross-platform middleware technology Bedrock, used to ease development of games and applications across a wide range of Java ME handsets. The Bedrock Cross-Compiler automatically converts the Java source to other programming languages including C++, C# and ActionScript. This process along with the Bedrock supplied libraries enables a title to be converted to native OS platforms such as BREW, Symbian and Windows Mobile. [3]
Subsequently, OpenGL ES support was announced in July 2008 via JSR 239 along with support for the Apple iPhone.[4]
