mySYWARE™
Adds New Database Applications to Freeware Library for Pocket PCs
Newest
additions include professional and personal mobile applications, from
patient care to golf games to dining preferences
Cambridge,
MA (July 23, 2001). SYWARE, Inc., a leading developer of intuitive database
tools for business and personal productivity, today announced three new
additions to the mySYWARE™ library of FREE database applications
for Pocket PC handhelds. Available for download at www.mysyware.com, the
latest additions to the freeware library include Patient, Golf Manager,
and myDiner-applications designed, respectively, to track patient care,
golf game results, and dining preferences. These newest applications join
the growing family of mySYWARE software;
each application is based on Visual
CE®, SYWARE's database development toolset that simplifies
and streamlines the creation of portable database applications.
"The
mySYWARE Library is a showcase of software applications that demonstrates
how anyone can quickly and easily create a database to help manage the
ever-increasing amounts of information that inundate us each and every
day," explained Sy Danberg, President of SYWARE. "With the right
tools, any reasonably computer literate person can build their own handheld
application to make life more organized, productive, and fun. Freely available
to anyone for download, the mySYWARE library applications cover personal
uses, like organizing a music library, as well as professional applications,
such as managing inventory or monitoring patient care."
Like all
mySYWARE applications, the new programs
are designed for immediate use by anyone with minimal handheld or desktop
PC experience. The mySYWARE library provides "database applications
for the real world" - portable applications designed to create almost
unlimited opportunities to improve mobile productivity for personal and
professional needs. The new applications include:
- Patient
— An application designed by a physician to keep track of patient
records. Windows open within the electronic form, allowing the physician
to record data such as vital signs, allergies, lab work, medical procedures,
exam findings, patient instructions, and follow-up tests. In addition
to providing physicians with a portable patient tracking system, the
application can also synchronize with a hospital's central medical records
system.
- Golf
Manager — An electronic scorecard to keep track of golf games.
The application tracks the scores of up to four people in a round, including
scores for individual holes and the entire round. Scores can be tracked
over time and accessed by criteria such as partner names, location,
score, and date played.
- MyDiner
— A user-submitted application that allows users to keep track
of favorite restaurants by criteria such as cuisine, city, and price
range. Users can record pertinent data about each restaurant including
the address, telephone number, fax, web site, food quality, price range,
and special notes
mySYWARE
Freeware Library
Patient, Golf Manager, and myDiner are the latest additions to the mySYWARE
library of Pocket PC-based database applications. The library continues
to grow with additional applications under development, both by SYWARE
and its customers who have created their own applications using Visual
CE.
Applications
are available at no charge by downloading from the mySYWARE web site (www.mysyware.com).
The software installs automatically on Pocket PC handhelds. All mySYWARE
applications come with their own runtime version of Visual CE, which means
that there are no hidden costs and nothing to buy.
Intuitive
Application Development Tool
All applications are built using Visual
CE, SYWARE's intuitive database and forms building tool for Pocket
PCs and Windows CE handhelds. Visual CE provides a drag & drop interface
that allows developers as well as non-programmers to easily create their
own portable database solutions. Data created using a Visual CE application
can be shared by beaming between handheld devices, or automatically synchronized
with a desktop PC. Available for as
little as $79, Visual CE has been used by thousands of business professionals,
physicians, and developers to quickly build customized applications without
coding.
