Marmalade has launched Marmalade 6.0, its cross-platform SDK for native mobile apps, adding support for HTML5 and integrates the PhoneGap API. Version 6.0, which also adds support for the new iPad Retina display, enables developers to create and deploy native apps for iOS and Android from a PC or Mac.
According to the company, the release is intended to provide an opportunity for developers to exploit the dual strengths of HTML5 and cross-platform native code. 
“We believe hybrid apps combining web and native technologies are the future, but not as they’ve been known up to this point” says Tim Closs, CTO at Marmalade. “Marmalade has always been about open standards, so HTML5 and PhoneGap are natural choices for us. With 6.0, we’re starting to redefine what hybrid apps can achieve with native API breadth and power.”
