The Rhodes framework is a platform for building locally executing, device-optimized mobile applications for all major smartphone devices. These applications are optimized for interacting with transactional enterprise application backends. It is also designed to work with synced local using the other “RhoSyncâ€. It is initially available for iPhone, Windows Mobile and Research in Motion (Blackberry) smartphones. Support for Android and Symbian is planned. Rhodes takes much of its inspiration from web-oriented MVC style frameworks such as Ruby on Rails. However it has several simplifications and optimizations for the mobile scenario.
