I occasionaly use database applications on my mobile devices, primarily for tracking my paid time off and for making gift lists. Many enterprise users need a database program that provides lots of functionality and that works with desktop solutions like Access (bi-directional conduit support in HanDBase). One of the most powerful, yet easy-to-use programs I have tried on my devices in HanDBase and it was just updated to version 4.0. There are over 2,000 databases already created by users that you can use or even download and modify for your own customization on the HanDBase site. Check out the press release for all the details.

I had the chance to talk with Amir Kupervas, CEO, and Eldad Eilam, Chief Technology Officer, from Else Mobile and captured much of our conversation in the 20+ minute video you see below.
