The Brightcove App Cloud Mobile Platform aims to make mobile app creation a little easier thanks to some new updates from Brightcove. While Brightcove originally launched its App Cloud platform last year, this update combines HTML5 with a native plugin-model. With this hybrid of the two approaches, the App Cloud mobile platform offers app developers a complete set of platform tools that help them in the development, customization, operation and marketing of their apps for iOS and Android devices.
