Your applications will have the latest Windows 8 functionalities including integrated touch support and hardware support for gyro, accelerometer and location (GPS).
Deliver fast applications for Windows and Mac, web and mobile
With RAD Studio XE3 and the FireMonkey FM2 Application Framework you write an application once and compile natively for both Windows and Mac – including 64-bit Windows and Windows 8, Mac OS X Mountain Lion and earlier Windows and Mac versions from a single codebase. Easily create super fast, cross platform native applications. Use HTML5 Builder to create web apps and mobile web apps for iOS, Blackberry, Windows Phone and Android. Simply create your application using your C++ or Delphi programming skills on Windows and when you’re ready deploy to Mac OS X. FireMonkey FM2 is your developer force multiplier, enabling you to target Windows and Mac OS X platforms in less time and with less effort.
