RE: Missed One!
MobileLists just seems to be a re-packaged MobileDB.
Got that already
Jeez, I can do this for ages with thinkDB. I can synchronize with Access, exchange with Excel, etc, etc. I love it and use everyday. This latecomer does not add anything to us users. Why they couldn't think of something more innovative?
RE: Got that already
HanDbase also has the Exchange program, which allows syncronization with other types of databases that are ODBC compliant. However, I've found that program very limited because it does not allow seamless access to the tables in the other database (I had great difficulty accessing a Top Speed database).
The limitation I've seen with HanDbase Plus is that when you sync over a table from Access, HanDbase copies the data actually stored in a field as opposed to the value seen in the field. Therefore, if you are using the relational database appropriately, many of the meaningful database entries will only show the ID number of the item in that field and not the value you see in the Access table. For instance, instead of seeing the name, "Jones, Bob" in a field, you would see "157" (the ID number for "Jones, Bob"). Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I think this is an inherent limitation. I'm wondering if other syncing programs have this limitation as well. Maybe MobileLists does a better job with this. Don't know.

Recent Palm DB Apps Comparison?
Do you know of any site or magazine that has done a much more recent comparison? (Also, isn't there now a 5th major Palm DB app?)
OUCH !
This IS MobileDB
