Longtime database maker FileMaker on Tuesday launched an iPhone and iPod touch version of its Macintosh Leopard personal database program, Bento.

The app, which can wirelessly sync with a user’s desktop version of Bento, is available for $4.99 from the Apple iTunes App Store. To get the app, you can navigate to Bento for iPhone’s download page on iTunes.

The personal database manager includes 25 templates for common tasks like home inventory, classes, recipes, events, time billing, expenses, exercise log, vehicle maintenance, and digital media – for keeping track of music and videos. An Apple “Cover Flow”-like interface lets users page through their databases, which can be subdivided into “collections” just as on the desktop app. For database creation, it sports 15 field types, including text, numbers, checkbox, media, time, date, currency, rating, address, phone number, email, URL, and IM Account.
