Synium Software has announced the release of MobileFamilyTree, a genealogy application for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch. It costs $4.99 and is available for download from the App Store.
You can synchronize the changes you make to your family's origins between an iPhone and a Mac using MobileFamilyTree.Designed as a complement of sorts to Synium's MacFamilyTree software, MobileFamilyTree enables you to keep track of your family roots and information. The software keeps all the changes you make on your iPhone in sync with MacFamilyTree files, and lets you view, add and edit information wherever you are.
Features include interactive lists for "Persons" and "Families," and detailed information views with direct edit access. You can add and edit multiple "Partners," "Children," "Events" and "Notes." The software is localized in English and German.
In order to have the Mac synchronization features, you'll also need MacFamilyTree 5.2.3 to be installed on your Mac.

Leister Productions, Inc., makers of Reunion for Macintosh, have a page on their Web site announcing that they are an approved iPhone developer and have been working on a Reunion version of an app for the iPhone/iPod Touch. No clues about when it will be available or how much it will cost.

My nephew is also an approved iPhone developer, and has just been certified by the LDS to develop an interface to download data from the new FamilySearch. Should be interesting to see.

I tried Synium's MobileFamilyTree this weekend and found it to be pretty slow. I think it has lots of potential but needs more functionality to be really useful as a mobile application.
