I'm certain they could link to additional sites if need be.

Re: iPhone App Store for business: Feast or famine?

all I REALLY want is a good timer app - so I can track my work time whether I'm sitting at my desk or working from home. There is one timer on there (Lion timer I think its called), but it is $30 for the BASIC version. There are tons of other timers out there for the desktop that are $20. paying $30 for a stripped down version is just insane.

You know you're about to read a cio.com article when...

...you can count at least ten links in the story without even scrolling.

"Could there BE more links in this story to another website?"

Would you PREFER the links in the article to link back to the article itself instead another website?

A database program that can sync with a desktop program. Comments based on Palm experience.

I. jFile/FMSync/Filemaker was a pretty good combo. Except FMSync was always flakey (would lose track of things; but it was free and the developer tried--suspect working with Palm syncing was no fun), FM is expensive. jFile is great (but never offered syncing and their jShopper is great too; but no mention of .

II. more versatile SplashID: 1) lockable and not locked databases, 2) improved desktop app (comments based in Palm version)

I hope some developer is listening. It can't be databases per se because Ultralingua seems to have it working; maybe syncing is the issue.

Try time:calc. It's free.

I'm also waiting for a good customizable database program like jfile that has desktop synchronization.

How much more of a timer does a person need than the stopwatch that comes with the iPhone?
