"FileMaker has just released FileMaker Go for the iPhone and iPad, giving FileMaker Pro users the ability to work remotely and interface with their databases from their favorite iOS device.\nThese apps allow users to view and interact with FileMaker Pro databases, make modifications to the remote systems, and download or copy databases from the web or from your Mac or PC.FileMaker released an iPad version of its Bento app as soon as the device launched, but this marks the first foray of actual FileMaker Pro support for iOS devices.\nIt's further proof that mobile devices \u2014 both phones and tablets \u2014 are being taken more seriously by business users. As business adoption increases, more robust application support has followed. \nFileMaker Go is sold separately for the iPhone [iTunes link] and iPad [iTunes link] for $19.99 and $39.99, respectively. This isn't your typical application pricing, but you essentially get the full functioning FileMaker client on your portable device.\nYou can do almost anything with the data that you could in the FileMaker Pro desktop app, including sorting, connecting to external SQL data sources and even running most of the scripts that work with FileMaker Pro.\nFor remote connection (which can take place over WiFi or 3G), you can access the data and make changes directly. If you want to copy files and make changes, you can share databases via iTunes or download database files from Dropbox, Box.net or e-mail.\nCheck out these video previews of FileMaker Go:\nFileMaker Go for iPhone:\n\n\n\n\nFileMaker Go for iPad:\n\n\n\n\nSigns of Things to Come\nSince the iPad was released, we've seen more and more robust business applications head to mobile platforms. For example, the Omni Group released an iPad version of OmniGraffle [iTunes link] back in April and it has been extremely successful.\nThe fact that FileMaker Inc., an Apple subsidiary, is finally releasing a business-class product for the iPhone and iPad is a sign that the market is aching for more powerful tools so that professional users can do more work from their mobile devices.\nWe expect to see even more business-class applications hit mobile devices as the year progresses."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
