Advantage

The primary issue with Java / Dalvik development for Android Platform is that one is stuck to platform for which the application has been developed. If one is planning to develop apps that run on other platforms like IOS or WinCE, the app has to be re-developed from scratch.

GoDB eliminates this and lets develop enterprise applications on all version of Android and also run on other platforms like IOS, WinCE and Linux etc. GoDB Supports all the following versions of Android from 1.6 to 2.x.

GoDB footprint is only 800 KB and requires less than 500 KB memory, thus giving the advantage of C++ performance with VB kind of development language.
