FileMaker Developer & Mobile for PDAs?

[Otis]

I have a simple workout schedule FileMaker Pro template I've developed. I have made this available as a runtime solution for downloading, and I'm interested in making this available as a public runtime solution for PDAs.

Will buying FileMaker Mobile make this possible?

I want it so that users who download this solution don't have to own FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Mobile.

If FileMaker Mobile won't do the trick, does anyone have any suggestions how to make runtime solutions public for PDAs?

A couple of pieces of bad news:

1) There is no equivalent to FileMaker Runtime for the PDA/FM Mobile. A user has to own FM Mobile.

2) There are almost no features of a FM template that translate to FM Mobile. No scripts, no calculated fields, only list view, form view, text, number and date fields. Mobile is pretty much just a data container.

The ultimate solution is to develop a native application for the PDA.
