While iData Mobile
allows you to create and edit datafiles, it is easier to enter large
amounts of data on a Macintosh. iData Lite lets you perform your heavy
data entry chores using the Mac's large keyboard with Cut, Copy, Paste,
and an extensive set of import and data manipulation functions.
Finally, iData Lite provides synchronization functions
that let you move datafiles created on the Mac to the iPhone, and then
to keep them in sync after changes are made on either platform.
Synchronization can be performed over a local WiFi network, using a
wireless router such as AirPort, or remotely using Apple's MobileMe
iDisk.
iData Lite recognizes Web links and email addresses in
standard formats and makes them clickable. It also lets you specify the
way you enter telephone numbers, so that it can recognize and dial
either by modem or by playing touch tones through the Mac's speakers.
Like iData Mobile, but unlike iData 3, iData Lite uses
only plain text in the Freeform Text Area (the Notes field in iData
Mobile). This helps reduce the size of datafiles, which is important
given the relatively small amount of memory available to applications
on the iPhone.
Another area where iData Lite differs from iData 3 is
that it does not provide any functions for designing and printing
labels and envelopes, since this feature has no equivalent in iData
Mobile.
