It's
on the way at last! - a new major development bringing the full
information and power of the Plant Base database to mobile
devices. You will be able to take Plant Base with you, where ever
you like - use it to help identify plants, check suitability,
view or take notes, add photographs.
We now have a fully working first version. It
includes all the main features - plant selection by name or advanced
search criteria, personal list managment, add/update/delete plant
records and add/delete pictures. It also has bi-directional synchronisation
with desktop Plant Base.
There is still some work to do on the product
installation packaging, documentation etc., before being ready
for full release. However, we can issue the product files as a
preliminary version - contact us if
you are interested.
- Runs on Pocket PC PDA's, with MS Windows Mobile
2003, 5 or 6 *
- Same plant information and pictures as the
desktop version.
- Highly efficient database built on SQLite.
- Program code entirely rewritten specifically
for the Pocket PC.
- Find plants by any criteria.
- Full Personal Plant List support.
- Will synchronise with the desktop database.
* The initial version is specifically for PDA
type devices, that is with touch screens, it will not run under
the SmartPhone only editions - (we hope to produce an edition
in the near future). SmartPhones with touch screens, e.g. running
WM5 for Pocket PC or WM6 Professional, are supported.
Designed for devices with displays of 240x240
or 240x320 (portrait or landscape), other sizes are in the pipeline.
The database files are quite large, so installation will normally
need to be to a Storage Card. Requires MS .NET CF 2.0 or better
- ready installed with WM6, or a free update from the Microsoft
website for other OS versions.
Plant Base Mobile is free to registered
Plant Base users, whether existing or new. We see it
as a partner product to the main desktop program, so we are not
currently planning to offer it as a standalone product.
However if you are interested in running only
the mobile version, please contact us
to discuss your requirements.
