SkySoft Systems let me know about the release of their 2.0 version of inForm. This application lets you easily create and distribute forms, surveys, databases, and what they call micro-applications to BlackBerrys. It cuts out all the programming and helps you build it. I know you are probably asking the same question I asked next. “What is it good for?
If you are looking for a way to create forms on your company BlackBerrys or even just be able to store a small database of clients on your device then inForm may help. I was pretty impressed with their description at this link:
