DDH Software has released HanDBase Plus, an add-on package for syncing HanDBase databases stored on an iPhone or iPod touch. The new software enables all databases stored on a handheld to be mirrored on the desktop automatically, as soon as users initiate a sync. In using the desktop client, users can also make changes to records that are merged with mobile ones; assorted functions give control over the sync modes of each database, and share content with other mobile devices.

Multiple backups of both mobile and desktop databases can be created, and more complex merges make it possible for users to combine information from several users. HanDBase Plus requires Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, and an iPhone or iPod touch with Wi-Fi capabilities. The software is priced at $15 on the company’s website, while HanDBase for the iPhone is available from the App Store for $10.
