Databases and wirelessly enabled Palm OS devices may not seem like a natural fit from a technology standpoint, but PocketDBA Systems and an alliance between ThinAirApps and AppForge are providing systems to create applications and manage systems, all from a handheld device to a company's established database.

KUALA LUMPUR--Now lawyers can get instant references on Malaysian statutes via a handheld packed with a wealth of legal information. Dubbed Simon's Pocket Law, the pocket PC (a Hewlett Packard Jornada 548) has 110 statutes stored inside and has been touted to be the first of its kind in the country.

with its brushed metal case and slim silhouette.

thousands of Java coders out there will rush to the device, write
software for it and allow the company to make good its promise to
have 10,000 apps for the PDA by the end of March 2002.
