Back when I carried around a palm device, I had purchased a great program called HanDbase, which was a light database that made it very easy to design your own databases. Apparently, I'm still on their mailing list, and they just released version 4.0. Missing my wine tasting notes I had put in a handbase database, I asked if one was under development for the maemo platform (they support symbian), essentially saying this is an area which is lacking on maemo and it would be a great addition. Here is the response i received: While we would love to be able to provide a version of HanDbase for the Nokia Internet Tablets, there are many variables to consider before undertaking this project. Should it ever become a reality that there is a native version of HanDBase for these devices, I agree that it would be a great step forward for them as they are lacking in this area of software. In the meantime I want to verify for you that I have HanDBase version 4 running inside of the Garnet OS emulator on my Nokia n800, running the 2008 release of the operating system. While this isn't the perfect solution it is definitely better than doing without a database software. -- In Vino Veritas http://astroturfgarden.com -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
