MoStacks:
Freeware Data Management App For UIQ3

There are several different database applications for the S60 2nd and 3rd Edition devices but this is the first and the only database management application for the UIQ 3 platform and the best of all it is FREE!

MoStacks is a data management freeware (a "database") for the SonyEricsson P1i, P990i and other Symbian/UIQ3 smartphones inspired by Apple's then-revolutionary HyperCard program.

This is 'experimental' release but application is fully funtional, usable and hopefully useful, but keep in mind it is still work in progress.

MoStacks is the work of a lone bedroom coder, a labor of love that gobbled up almost 3 years worth of spare time, characterized by wrestling with SDK documentation that has more holes than the Switzerland's cheese. With a cranky emulator that likes crashes and sometimes produces memory leaks all on its own and of course with the wonderful C++ language, pointers be blessed. You can read more about MoStacks' timeline so far here.

There are currently 3 ways to learn about the program: Reading the portions of the documentation that are already available (start at chapter Overview), going through the tutorial, and having a closer look at the demo stacks that the installer for the Windows program puts into the MoStacks subfolder of the My documents folder.
