FileMaker 12

On 4/4 FileMaker announced FileMaker Pro 12 for MacOSX and Windows with free clients for iOS. The 300$ version supports up to nine client connections and if these clients are e.g. iPads, it costs nearly the same to buy a new iPad with the iOS FileMaker client, compared to just buying a client license for MacOSX or Windows. Attention: while FileMaker 5 and 6 had the same file format, and FileMaker 7 to 11 shared a common file format, FileMaker 12 introduces a new file format, too.
