Simplicity's Execution-On-The-Fly™ technology integrates every change to the application's code instantly into the running application. There is no need to recompile the application with every change. The application continues to run in the emulator, and each change occurs instantly. So even before compiling, a developer will know if what they designed is correct. This is a great time-saver for developers of all levels. Other features include the Sourcerer's Apprentice™, which is a code completion tool, and The Code Sourcerer™, which is an automatic coding tool that can create large blocks of code by interviewing the user in plain English. These tools eliminate many possible errors, providing a guide to all possibilities.

Simplicity Version 3.1 for Palm OS can be extended to build end-to-end, network-aware mobile/enterprise applications when added to Data Representations' J2EE/J2ME tool, Simplicity for Mobile Servers™. Using XML over HTTP, Simplicity for Mobile Servers makes it easy to collect data from JDBC data sources and legacy applications for building interactive, MIDlet to servlet, wireless applications.
