Seeking the most innovative uses for its popular HanDBase mobile database program for PDAs and smartphones, to mark the celebrating the 10th anniversary of its acclaimed HanDBase mobile database application, DDH Software announces it is reviving its "HanDBase Applet of the Year" contest.

To demonstrate how easy it is for anyone to develop a mobile solution for either work or personal use is the goal for this year's contest. Enabling the winners to turn their entries into commercially-available standalone mobile applications, the company will reward the Best Commercial Applet and Best Personal Applet with "HanDBase Runtime" licenses (U.S. $1,000.00 value).

Including Access (Palm) OS, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and Symbian handsets, http://www.ddhsoftware.com , DDH Software's website, currently offers the largest online gallery of free custom applets for mobile devices. Including solutions for a variety of industries, professions and personal uses, more than 2,000 HanDBase applets are currently available in DDH Software's gallery. Examples include diet managers, personal finance managers, travel expense logs and report generators and dictionaries for medical terms and pharmaceuticals.

To enter the contest, no purchase of HanDBase is required. A free, full-featured 30-day trial version is available at the company's Web site. To create their entry contestants can use this demo copy, and can create as many custom applets as they would like in order to improve their odds of winning the grand prize.

DDH Software’s president and CEO, David Haupert, said: "We’re excited about this year's contest, especially with the recent release of HanDBase 4.0 offering more features for creative users to incorporate into their entries". "Through this contest, we hope to demonstrate how easy it is for anyone to create any kind of mobile information management tool. Which HanDBase applet will rise to the top this year and could potentially become a commercially successful mobile application? We're anxious to find out!"
