wineCellar 2.0 adds cloud support for mobile access

Users who turn to Cadent Computing's wineCellar to log and organize their wine collection will now be able sync entries via a new synchronization service added in the latest update. wineCellar 2.0 introduces Cadent Cloud, a service that lets the app sync up to 500 wines to a cloud where they can be viewed through either a standard Web site or a site for mobile devices.

Cadent says that both of the Web sites use https, the secure sockets layer, to keep login credentials and data private. The mobile-enhanced site is accessible from any device which support https connections, which includes the iPhone, as well as other smartphones such as the Palm Pre.

wineCellar users can store up to 2,000 entires in the application, though a free 30-day trial lets you store 100 wines (though without access to the new Cadent Cloud service). The software, which runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and later, costs $25; it's a free upgrade for wineCellar 1.x users.--Philip Michaels
