 OMTP has announced the newest release of its BONDI terminal initiative which is gaining increasing industry support. Version 1.1 comes at a significant time in the evolution of BONDI, with new announcements and demonstrations of implementations and applications across a range of platforms during Mobile World Congress 2010. BONDI device API specifications are designed to be used in conjunction with its security framework by any current and future application ecosystem.

The final release of version 1.1 cements over six months of industry feedback on the previous version 1.01 and significantly improves the specifications to enable commercial implementations of BONDI to prosper during 2010. A key feature of the 1.1 release is its compliance to the W3C Widgets: Packaging and Compliance specification. The new version also improves the usability of the BONDI security mechanisms and provides enhancements to a range of the BONDI APIs. As a W3C member, OMTP has already submitted preliminary versions of BONDI into W3C.

Work within OMTP is already commencing on version 1.5 of BONDI which will introduce access to a new set of features to the online web development community. Developers in the future will have access to functions such as smartcard features, phone functionalities, sensors and Bluetooth connectivity. Version 1.5 is expected to have its candidate release in spring 2010.

 “This new release has taken much industry feedback to produce specifications and a reference implementation which become the new baseline for BONDI implementations” said Tim Raby, Managing Director, OMTP.  “We are constantly working on ways to develop the specification so that developers can truly benefit from further enhanced features and consistent environments, driving the creation and uptake of exciting mobile services.”
