Ladybridge announced at the International Spectrum 2007
Conference and Exhibition the release and availability of QM
for Pocket PC and
Windows Mobile 5.0.
The PDA is the truly portable computer of the future
although, until now, it has not offered a true database
package. With QM running under
Windows Mobile 5.0
or the older Windows CE, you can carry around a complete
database in your pocket. With help from Peter
Schellenbach of AccuSoft,
new features and additions will be continually added.
The PDA version of QM is essentially a single user
version of the full QM product. It has support for outgoing
network connections (including QMNet) to provide easy
synchronization with the main database server. Data files
and compiled application programs are totally compatible
with other QM platforms.
Although the user interface is essentially character
mode, program interfaces allow control of the keyboard
display and detection of stylus taps. Standard QM menus are
extended to allow the stylus to be used to select actions
and it is easy to integrate similar mechanisms into
application software. Whilst the PDA is a single user
environment, QM retains support of locking for QMNet and
also to minimize changes to applications that are ported
from multi-user environments.
