Filemaker's Bento Personal Database App to Launch for iPad
In the lead up to the iPad launch, a number of leaks have revealed some of the iPad App Store launch titles. While popular iPhone games such as Flight Control and Real Racing are amongst the first group of apps, one of the big promises of the iPad was that productivity apps would be able to make further use the iPad's extra screen real estate.
Apple's iWork applications Keynote, Pages and Numbers are known to be making the jump to iPad. Meanwhile, OmniGroup also pre-announced that they will be delivering their 5 of their productivity tools to the iPad.
MacRumors can now reveal that Filemaker's Bento is also launching for iPad and will be available as a launch title. Bento is an easy to use personal database system that was originally released for the Mac. Filemaker has already released an iPhone/iPod touch version that was well received. A screenshot of the iPad version is provided here:
Like the iPhone app, Bento for iPad can be used as a standalone app or will wirelessly synchronize with Bento 3 for the Mac. The App comes with dozens of ready to use database templates that can be customized for your own usage. The iPad version of Bento is priced at $4.99, the same as the current price for the iPhone version.

Hmmm, i'll have to check into this more.
Every time i'm ready to buy BENTO, i hit a limitation. Last time it was that you could only sync to one iPhone from a DB on the desktop. Which obviously didn't mean that my daughter and I could both be looking at the contents.
I thinking though that the forms portion of Numbers will do all I need at this point....

So... Spreadsheet, word processing, presentation, and database apps available from day one. Yeah, this thing's a toy. :rolleyes:

Programs like this one get me excited about the iPad. Even though I probably wouldn't buy this particular app, it showcases how valuable a tool the iPad is going to be.

Not only that but, I think we also must be reminded that:
- No Flash
- No eInk Screen
- No User Replaceable Battery
- No Windows Logo
- It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken
- Bill Gates Confirmed It Totally Suxors Unlike A Cool XP Netbook
- Only a dupe would pay for expensive, overpriced chocolate when you can have 2x as much mockolate for the same money. Yum, oily, powdery mockolate.

I keep trying to justify a reason for Bento. Maybe this will finally push me over the edge.

Will it be a standalone Bento or a you-must-still-have-Bento-on-your-Mac-too Bento?
