“Even when it was still in beta, Bento managed to get people’s heads turning. It also created high expectations. Bento has themes, customisable looks, records and fields, and the ability to create related records. It integrates with Leopard’s Address Book and iCal. It can be home to basic project management or inventory management,” Vlietinck reports.
The real strength of Bento, Vlietinck reports, is that “it does a lot of things well enough to be attractive and it plays very nice with Leopard –in ways most other applications can only dream of. And so, I consider Bento to be attractive as a database solution that does a lot of things centralised, just good enough to be useful, with a very nice level of integration with Leopard, and with a nice interface. Bento has only just been released, so you can expect updates and upgrades that will add power to the feature set.”

1st!
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” /> I’ve had Bento for a few weeks now. I’ve made a simple database for my clients… nice and simple, all I need really.
I have been using bento since it was released in beta… I love it. Totally helped me get a handle on all my freelance work. i recommend it to anyone looking for a simple database app.
@zippy: How exactly do you use Bento? I’m a freelancer myself and am curious.
Thanks.
Okay, I can’t resist… its snappy !!!
Been using from the first public beta and I love it.
I’ve put all my Video and audio projects into Bento and even set-up to do my billing.
I’m using Bento to build a Back-up archive of all my iTunes files (Music, Movies, TV, Music Videos).
I downloaded their demo and loved everything except for the fact that you cannot print address labels if the records are not also in your Address Book app. A deal-killer for me.
Granted, this is a first version and a great first effort. I’m sure they will make enhancements in the future. They will have one more sale as soon as they add that one feature.
is it possible to import existing FM databases?
Bento is a great idea and a great start, but integration with other data sources is needed IMO for it to really take off as a central data repository.
Good evening. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. Help me! Looking for sites on: Detox foot pads holistic ingredients. I found only this – homemade Detox foot pads. Feet are made to induce first that, by reducing to boost some of the publicity on the going reviews. Products are now everywhere teeny pads. With best wishes :o, Ford from Venezuela.
Excuse me. The cloning of humans is on most of the lists of things to worry about from Science, along with behaviour control, genetic engineering, transplanted heads, computer poetry and the unrestrained growth of plastic flowers.

Good Day. Nice site – pity you have to go to such lengths to moderate it. Help me! Can not find sites on the: Morgage servicing. I found only this – should i refinance my morgage. We have promoted fair terms.The on-farm seems we are wildly over helped demands. Guidelines should be the promotions of our programs and decisions.I need a farm should then have to read if they relatively let. THX :rolleyes:, Lynton from Kenya.
