1023 4D Inc., maker of an integrated development platform for building and deploying business applications, announced today the release of 4D Web 2.0 Pack v11, a powerful toolset that lets developers create business intelligence applications for mobile platforms such as the iPhone and iPod Touch, as well as traditional browsers. This version includes significant new feature additions and support for 4D v11 SQL, as well as performance improvements and bug fixes.

4D Web 2.0 Pack v11 features a revolutionary new Business Intelligence component that allows you to create Ajax powered, dashboard-style reports. You can build a new dashboard using drag and drop to add fields and groups, insert charts, and perform basic calculations, all without having to write any JavaScript. Applications can be built with a few clicks using pre-set themes, or customized in the CSS. Platforms can be targeted by a simple click.

The Dashboard Editor is flexible and powerful enough to be used to build business intelligence dashboards that can be added to existing websites and are cross-browser compatible, as well as iPhone applications that take advantage of the iPhone's unique features. For example, iPhone Dashboard applications can link data directly with the phone, e-mail, or Google Maps.

"We developed the Business Intelligence Dashboards for 4D Web 2.0 Pack v11 to give developers the cutting-edge tools they need to meet those business needs."
