DDH Software Launches its Acclaimed HanDBase Relational Database for Smartphones

Wellington, FL (Mobility Newswire) January 23, 2006 - DDH Software, Inc. today announced that a new version of its HanDBase relational database application is now available to owners of Windows Mobile-based Smartphones, such as the popular i-mate SP3, Motorola MPX220 and Q phone, and the Samsung i600.Since it was first introduced in 1998, HanDBase has enabled owners of Palm OS, Windows Mobile-based (formerly Pocket PC) PDAs, and more recently Symbian Series 60 handsets, to take their most vital information with them while on-the-go, earning prestigious recognition such as Handheld Computing Magazine’s “Database of the Year” award along the way. HanDBase allows mobile device users to store volumes of data that can be easily viewed, edited, filtered, sorted, and searched whenever the data is needed. Now, users of Windows Mobile-based Smartphones can create their own custom database programs for both personal and business purposes and never be without access to the information they need.With the HanDBase Desktop application, users can design their own databases from scratch or start from any of the thousands of free applets available at ddhsoftware.com—-all of which have been created and submitted by HanDBase users. Users can transfer the database to the Smartphone handset for convenient handheld access and data entry. Beyond its full-featured editing and design capabilities, HanDBase Desktop allows users to export files in Excel, Word, CSV, HTML or XML formats.Another feature of HanDBase Desktop that increases its user-friendliness is its “plug-in architecture” for third party add-on applications. For example, a user can automate repetitive tasks such as exporting, importing, running external programs, or seamlessly moving data between HanDBase and other formats such as Microsoft Access, and other ODBC sources."We are pleased to further our partnership with DDH Software as they continue to offer solutions and services for Windows Mobile-based devices," said John Dietz, group marketing manager at Microsoft. "By developing HanDBase for Windows Mobile-based devices, our customers will have access to their most important information anytime/anywhere."“Our goal is to make HanDBase the premier mobile database program for all popular mobile platforms,” said David Haupert, president of DDH Software. “Whether for business or personal purposes, we want all mobile device users to have access to the best mobile database available.
