MagneFlex Browser - MagneFlex Blue MagneFlex Prism is a suite of interface developer tools that reduce the points of development. Instead of using SDKs, APIs, and applets to build an interface to the hardware device, another to interface to the POS application, and another to the gateway, you can build the interface to just MagneFlex. MagneFlex drives the hardware, interfaces with the POS app, and can issue the commands to pack, parse and send the data out for processing. MagneFlex Blue is our answer to the growing challenges integrators and developers face in the iOS operating system. MagneFlex Blue is a full function iOS browser. It was made for iOS app development and gives developers a fast track into the app store. It makes iOS app development easier because it speaks the iOS web app language. Blue eliminates the need for plug-ins as well since everything is built-into the browser. This free development tool can be white-labelled and provides a turnkey integration solution for iOS web applications, working with MagTek hardware and services. Sites developed in HTML 5 with device responsive views will work seamlessly in this browser allowing the app to respond to devices whether they are tablets or phones in a device native format, reducing the development effort.
