Described as the fastest and easiest way to create mobile databases and forms, needing no programming to allow users to collect, display, modify, and synchronise data
Syware, a developer of intuitive database tools for business and personal productivity, has announced the availability of a no-charge evaluation edition of Visual CE, the award-winning rapid application development software for database and forms development on Windows Pocket PCs and Windows CE devices. Available for download, the evaluation edition provides users with the full range of Visual CE's capabilities for a 30-day period.
To retain all work done, users must purchase a Personal, Professional, or Enterprise edition of Visual CE before the evaluation period ends.
Visual CE is designed for a wide range of applications, from field sales to inventory management to patient tracking.
It is described as the fastest and easiest way to create mobile databases and forms; in minutes, users can collect, display, modify, and synchronise data, with no programming required.
Flexible forms can be designed on a desktop PC or a handheld device, then run on any Windows Mobile, Pocket PC, or Windows CE device.
Recently added features include the ability to store images from the HP Photosmart mobile camera in a database, an array of uses for variables, alarm functions, support for sounds and the creation of image maps, built-in support for 'one-click' bar code scanning using Socket's ultra-small In-Hand scan cards, and the ability to send SMS messages directly from within a database application. Royalty-free distribution of Visual CE applications means developers can quickly deploy their programs throughout the company at a fraction of the cost of any other database program on the market.
Integration with mEnable, Syware's wireless architecture, extends handheld applications with real-time, interactive access to server data allowing mobile devices to be easily integrated with enterprise business processes.
Visual CE also works in conjunction with Report CE, the world's only report writing tool for Windows CE and Pocket PC handhelds. Visual CE evaluation edition is no charge and available for download via the Syware website.
