MOTODEV Studio for UIQ, which is due be available in beta release later this quarter, enables the creation of native C/C applications for Symbian/UIQ-based Motorola products, including current handsets such as the MOTO Z8 and MOTO Z10.

MOTODEV Studio for WebUI, likely to be available as a technology preview later this quarter, is designed to support the creation and testing of lightweight WebUI widgets and full-featured, context-aware WebUI applications that can access local device services and support future versions of Motorola's MOTOMAGX mobile Linux platform.

MOTODEV Studio for Linux, demonstrated as a technology preview to be available later this quarter, will support native C/C application development on future versions of Motorola's MOTOMAGX mobile Linux platform.
