FMTouch
FMWebschool recently introduced FMTouch, enabling you to deploy FileMaker on your iPhone or iPod Touch devices. FMTouch fills the whole left when FileMaker stopped developing FileMaker Mobile (the last version was 8). Now you can easily have instant access to your database solutions.
You’ll need FileMaker Advanced to generate a DDR (Database Design Report) file, though FMWebshool is planning on providing a service to create a DDR for those who don’t have Advanced. The DDR file will need to be under 10MB, so you might need to clone and make adjustments to larger databases. Unlike FileMaker Mobel, FMTouch is a relational application. FMTouch also supports multiple layouts, portals and value lists.
Though still early, FMTouch is getting great reviews. The initial price tag of $99.99 was even reduced to $69.99 after feedback from the FileMaker community. Having used FileMaker Mobile in the past, I am looking forward to getting my hands on this new program. FMTouch is available through the business application section of iTunes.
