Zoho Creator Brings Databases to Cell Phones

First Zoho Writer spiffs up with new features, and now Zoho Creator -- a drag-and-drop database builder -- breaks free of the browser. Well, the desktop browser, anyway: Zoho Creator Mobile allows you to access your databases right on your phone, viewing and entering data while you're on the run.

This has the potential to be really huge. Sales teams could use Zoho Creator to capture customer information right from a trade-show floor. Freelancers could keep track of expenses (as suggested in the unintentionally goofy promo video). The possibilities are fairly endless. (Mobile databases are nothing new, but real-time connectors to the main database? That's a big deal.) Zoho Creator Mobile supports mobile devices running Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, and WAP browsers. It's free to use, as is Zoho Creator itself.

How would you make use of a mobile database? [via AppScout]
