MacChat: Bento keeps it all together on iPhone/iPod touch
PLE products are renowned for keeping it simple, but with the hit App Store for iPhone and iPod touch offering nearly 40,000 mobile applicationsand recently chalking up a billion downloadsthings can get a little overwhelming.
Now FileMaker says it can help simplify things a little with the iPhone/iPod touch version of its personal database software for Mac, Bento.
“It’s one app for $A5.99, and has 95 per cent of the functionality of the Mac version which sells for $A79,” FileMaker Asia-Pacific general manager Steve McManus says.
“And it does what a whole bunch of $1 and $2 apps do.”
Bento helps you create lists and databases on the fly, or sync them with the Mac version. Its interface has been optimised for OS X iPhone for a simple, seamless experience.
As on the Mac, iPhone and iPod touch users might find themselves using Bento to access their Address Book, iCal calendars and to-do lists, as Bento folds them all conveniently into the one app, in a similar fashion to Microsoft Outlook.
Other uses are limited only by the user’s imagination. Aside from the conventional management of contacts, customers, projects and inventory, Bento could be used to, say, store recipes, keep track of a collection or even compare properties while house-hunting.
Media files up to 10MB can be attached to entries for added effect, while Google Map links can be embedded to help identify and locate people and projects. Integration with Apple Mail or MS Outlook keeps all your contacts, calendars and correspondence together.
Bento also makes your database files visually appealing, with 30 professional-looking templates and CoverFlow view for flicking through your files in a similar way to iTunes and the Mac Finder.
FileMaker is offering Bento for iPhone and iPod touch at the attractive price of $A5.99 (or $NZ6.49), which as McManus says is extraordinary value considering it offers most of the functionality of the $A79 Mac version.
While this might make the iPhone/iPod touch version seem like a replacement for the desktop version, FileMaker Asia-Pacific software engineer Erick Olazabal points out that the desktop version is still far more convenient for extended periods of data entry, and general ease of use, and can do things the portable version can’t yet do, including creating calculation fields (though, once created, they can be edited on the iPhone/iPod touch).
As it has no real peer on Windows, Bento could be the latest app to tempt iPhone-toting PC users to switch to Mac, to enjoy the added benefits of the desktop version.
