Bento

The Bento Book: Beauty and Simplicity in Digital Design

The Bento Book provides everything you need to know to use Bento and even Bento 2. Organize your personal database and synchronize it with iCal and MobileMe. Once you enter something in Bento, it can be everywhere you are (even on your iPhone and iPod Touch--beginning May 5, 2009!). Check out the Bento Extras (formerly known as Bento Quickies) on this site. And join in the discussion.

Bento for iPhone and iPod touch

The big news is Bento for iPhone and iPod touch. Available for $4.99 from iTunes, it lets you sync libraries between your computer and iPhone using a WiFi network (you must be on the same one--it's not done via the Internet). At this time, the iCal libraries aren't part of the sync, but they still sync in the iPhone/MobileMe/Desktop path.
