According to the folks at RemObject, it's designed to take the burden out of data access and allows developers to concentrate on the core part of their application -- data presentation and business logic, without having to worry about the intricate details of dealing with the underlying database. Data Abstract for OS X is a 100% native Objective-C library and supports development for both Mac OS X desktop apps as well as the iPhone/iPod touch. It was designed to play nice with the tools that Mac and iPhone developers already use, such as Xcode, Cocoa and Objective-C.
Available in three separate editions for .NET, Delphi and OS X, Data Abstract allows the creation of database applications on any of these individual development platforms, or to create platform-spanning solutions that run on a variety of client computers and devices. Data Abstract will communicate with servers written using the other editions for .NET/Mono or Delphi, allowing developers to extend their existing project/solution with new clients for these new platforms.
Fitting in with general Cocoa development paradigms, Data Abstract for OS X is fully designed for asynchronous (and optionally synchronous) data access. It's wire compatible with its sister products as well.
Data Abstract for OS X is available now, and pricing starts at $899 (USD) for new users. It's also available in bundles including other platform and includes RemObjects SDK for OS X.
