CustoMike Solutions is announcing the release of a small iPhone app that connects the iPhone to any FileMaker contact based solution that is accessible through the API for PHP.

Utilising the jQuery javascript library and FileMaker's API for PHP, this app imitates the built in contacts app supplied with the iPhone,  connecting directly to your FileMaker solution.

Search contacts, see details, then touch a phone number to create a call, touch an address to find it on the map, or touch an email address to compose an email.

While editing fields is not currently possible, this will feature in a future release.

Try out this "app" directly by pointing your iPhone to http://www.customikesolutions.com/iphone (It will work on any webkit based browser, but is optimised for the iPhone).

The totally unlocked source code with sample database (thanks Brian Dunning for your sample data!) and instructions for testing and/or connecting to your own solutions can be found at http://www.customikesolutions.com/index.php?type=samples.

More demos, samples and tutorials will follow in the coming weeks.

Questions, comments, help or advice can be sought from:
