DDH Software Releases Mac OS X Sync Conduit for HanDBase for iPhone

Wellington, FL – DDH Software today announced availability of its long anticipated Mac OS X conduit for syncing HanDBase databases stored on their iPhone and iPod touch devices. HanDBase, a popular relational database for many types of mobile devices, was released last fall in the Apple iTunes App Store, and many users have been asking for a way to automatically synchronize their databases with their Macs. The new HanDBase Plus add-on package now affords them with this capability.

When using HanDBase on the iPhone or iPod touch, a feature called Desktop Connect enables a wireless connection between the iPhone and any desktop web browser. Using this connection, users can install databases to and back up databases from their device. But having a conduit available adds many additional capabilities using this same wifi connection capability.

With the new Mac HanDBase Plus add-on conduit, all databases stored on the iPhone/iPod touch are mirrored on the desktop automatically when the user initiates a sync. Using the included HanDBase Desktop, users can make changes to records and these changes are intelligently merged with the changes made on the iPhone.

Many synchronization modes are available to fine tune the way the data is merged for each database. For example, a database used by healthcare staff to collect patient survey information could be merged by multiple iPhone HanDBase users into a single database, and the records then deleted from the iPhone for a fresh start. Or a price list of products could be updated to a salesperson’s iPod touch each time they sync to provide them with the latest pricing of the products they sell.

Cocktail, updated version for Leopard

If you read Applesfera habitually you will have seen that we have spoken enough of Cocktail. If it is not thus, or you finish arriving at Mac, deciros that Cocktail is a suite of tools for “putting in form our Mac”. Thus, we can repair permissions of archives, clean cachés, verify the state of discs, optimize the speed of the network, and a long list of others of actions, enumerated in the page Web of the application.

Between the new features of the new version that finishes leaving for Leopard (the 4.3.3) is possible to emphasize some improvements in the cleaning of potentially harmful files, cleaning of some troyanos (variant F and G of the troyano RSPlug) and of the Inqtana.C worm. The update recommends all the users of Cocktail.

The license of Cocktail costs 14.95 dollars (simplest, because there are diverse options of purchase). We unloaded if it we will be able to execute the application and to prove it 10 times before having to buy the license.

If you want a gratuitous alternative to Cocktail, I would remain with Onyx although this one does not clean to troyanos nor harmful archives, but it goes in a matter of tastes (and to want to pay the license of Cocktail or not).
