It finally happened: for $4.99, you can download Bento for iPhone and iPod touch from the Apple App Store. See the Filemaker Press Release for more details, including a video.

Quick important note: Bento for iPhone is a standalone application and it does NOT have all the features of the desktop version. But if you do have both applications, they work together beautifully.

Also today, Bento 2.0v4 was released, a free update of the desktop program. Here’s what’s included:

• improves performance (speed) for several key tasks, including launching the application, selecting the Address Book library, searching the Address Book library, deleting records or entire libraries.
• provides compatibility with Bento for iPhone and iPod touch:
• the ability to synchronize your Bento 2 for Mac data with the newly released Bento for iPhone and iPod touch – and vice versa
• provides compatibility with iWork Numbers 09
• resolves an issue related to displaying addresses in Japanese

And here’s a BentoUsers.com exclusive piece of news: Marketing revealed to me that Filemaker has decided to establish a Bento template exchange in the near future. An exact timeline is not available at this point.
In the meantime, keep enjoying the templates on BentoUsers.com. I will add new ones before the end of the week.
