Database software for pocket PC
Syware launches Visual CE 6.0, a new database development software for Windows CE and Pocket PC devices, supporting pop-up word lists, grid control, beaming, and macro programs
New fields can be created to store additional information, such as text, numbers, time, and currency; colour can be added to highlight important data; information can be grouped for fast access; and simple drawings and handwritten notes can be added to entries in the Contacts list, all for a low US$9.99 price.
"For many Pocket PC users, the Contacts application is the main reason they carry a device," said Sy Danberg, president of Syware.
"But who said a contacts program had to be a plain vanilla listing of name, address, and phone number? The PocketExtra series was created for people who want to extend the Pocket PC's built-in applications rather than develop a whole new custom database." PocketExtra Contacts allows users to customise the capabilities of the Pocket PC's built-in Contacts application.
New fields of information can be added which contain a variety of data types, including text, floating point numbers, integers, currency, dates, or time.
