Additionally, the new version adds the ability to manage hundreds of data lists on a PDA or mobile phone, and can wirelessly download information available on www.memoware.com.

New features include:

• Download new data lists from within MobileDB on wireless devices
  
• Dial voice calls directly from a record containing a phone data type.
  
• Launch a URL in a MobileDB record in the device default browser.
  
• Send email to an address in a MobileDB record.

Handmark marketing vice president, Douglas Edwards, describes MobileDB as follows:

MobileDB 4.1 eliminates the need to do a web search and sync with desktops to access and add data from the vast pool of free data available in MobileDB format. By adding voice dial as a data type MobileDB users can easily access multiple lists from clubs, membership organizations, or business contacts that just don't belong in their permanent device address book. On the other hand, any contact in a MobileDB file that you want in your Address Book can be added from a simple menu option. Altogether these new wireless features make MobileDB essential on every smartphone, or WiFi enabled PDA.

The company says there are more than 1,500 free MobileDB files relating to sports, business, travel, and other categories available from either www.MobileDB.com or www.MemoWare.com online public repositories.
