Marco,

I have an iPhone -- so does Razzak, come to think of it -- and I don't know
what I would do with a version of R:BASE on my phone.

The iPhone is a platform for client applications, hardly ever with a
database on the phone. The database lives elsewhere, and is accessed through
messages sent to and from the tiny applications on the phone. (The
exception, where the database lives on the phone, is contacts, but even that
is usually synced to another database elsewhere.)  You don't find middleware
for sale in the App Store. There's no "SQL Server" for iPhone, or "MS
Access", or even FileMaker.

You could certainly have an R:BASE database living on a server somewhere,
and, or example, an iPhone web app that will  access data from that database
through a server application elsewhere, using Oterro at the server end.

I must admit, though, that for almost 25 years I've done my own company
billing through R:BASE, and just changed that to a "cloud" invoicing service
that lets me enter hours, tasks, and expenses easily from my phone or my
computer. I like the portability, and the ability to generate bills for my
clients while I'm on a golf course in New Mexico and my computer is in
Indiana. (Not that I'm billing them for that time :-) )

Bill
