Prism Visual Software’s mobile handheld software, MiniMate, which runs Windows platform (CE), is a PDA solution for the service industry built on VB-NET and Sybase’s iAnywhere.
The new release of MiniMate was designed using the latest Microsoft technology with “MobiLink,” Sybase’s synchronization platform. An ODBC connection between the Sybase UltraLite database application running on the handheld device and the desktop Microsoft SQL Server database enables the synchronization to occur. UltraLite works by tracking the date and time between prior synchronizations. The communications channel with Mobilink is TCP/IP-based which provides flexibility over the connection mechanism used. Devices connect via bluetooth, WiFi, cellular, or a direct wired connection through ActiveSync.
The new design of deserves to be a Planet PDA Product of the Year for three reasons: The newly designed MiniMate enables small to mid-size companies to use the solution with many different hardware devices. Prism’s PDA solution has a proven track record and a solid development history. The expansion into Windows platform is not a first-time solution but comes from a mature, well tested and user-friendly product already available on Palm/OS devices.
