FMTouch brings FileMaker Pro to iPhone
FMWebschool says it has released FMTouch, a new app for the iPhone and iPod touch. The software is described as a replacement for FileMaker's own Mobile software, which is no longer available and was only able to support one non-relational flat file. FMTouch lets users save multiple, fully-relational FileMaker Pro databases to an Apple handheld, for browsing information such as contacts and inventories.
Databases on a handheld operate without an Internet connection, but can be edited manually; to keep content coordinated with servers and desktops, FMWebschool has written its own sync plug-in. FileMaker 8 or 9 is required, along with FileMaker Advanced, though FMWebschool says it has devised an upload service for those without Advanced themselves. FMTouch is selling for $100 through the App Store.
