“Bento has been one of the leading productivity apps for the Mac and iPhone for some time and we’re very excited to now bring a great version to iPad at an incredible price,” said Steve McManus, Regional Manager, FileMaker, Inc. – Asia Pacific, in the press release.
The new Bento for iPad provides gesture support navigation on iPad and takes full advantage of the innovative device’s big screen. The app works in both portrait and landscape views, automatically switching between views as the user rotates the iPad. Users can simply touch the screen to edit information in choice, date and rating fields and checkboxes. A new quick tap lets users watch videos, view photos and send e-mails. Customers can even browse web links in Bento without leaving the app.
The app features cool new notebook, clipboard, and glass themes that you can apply to any Bento library to make your database look as great as it works. It also includes 25 pre-designed customisable templates ranging from event planning, time billing, recipes, classes, dieting and m
and ‘m’, it says as a conclusion. ‘M’ is probably the best and most overlooked feature of Bento.
Meanwhile, here in Canada, my iPad has been parked in customs clearance a stones throw from me for over a day…
Love Bento on my iPhone; wish I had an iPad…
“and ‘m’, it says as a conclusion. ‘M’ is probably the best and most overlooked feature of Bento.”
Morbidity charts? Mesothelioma eradication? Monomorphemic phonology? Manometric respirometry?
Great. How about FileMaker Inc. releasing FILEMAKER for iPad?!?
One of the apps that will shine on the iPad even if not so much on the Mac. Not that it couldn’t, just that they haven’t gotten it there. Yet. Trying too hard to not steal sales from Big Bro FileMaker?
MacBill, it may be a lovely thought … hardly sensible. True, back when the Mac wasn’t as powerful as an iPad is today, they managed to stuff a more compact and optimized version of FileMaker onto it – but folks had more reasonable expectations for it. Today, it better respond by yesterday or it’s too slow.
@ Ampar:
m is for mayonnaise. Mmmmmay-yonnnnnaaaaaaaise.
OK, now I need a BLT. Stat.
Mmmmmay-yonnnnnaaaaaaaise.
Why do fat people slap that crap on everything?
Oh, wait – it’s to stay fat.
@ Ron,
Put pickle relish in it and slather it on deep fried mystery fish.
Yummmm.

“Morbidity charts? Mesothelioma eradication? Monomorphemic phonology? Manometric respirometry?”
That would be funnier, but it is probably, boringly, just ‘m’ for ‘more’ as in “more mayonnaise”!
Hmm, manometric respirometry … Is there an app for that?
M= Microsoft death spiral metrics
Heinz English Salad Cream – now THAT’S mayonaise! Mmmmmmm!
“Hmm, manometric respirometry … Is there an app for that?”
Eventually.
