Re: ArcPad and ArcPad Application Builder

well I figured that it came with a copy of Arcpad, its just kind of pricey at $1500 for App Builder (minus 1 license of ArcPad that's still a grand).
 
With Desktop ArcGIS you can develop extensions with no extra cost other than your development software.  In the case of ArcPad app builder, I think you still need development software (like VS or Borland, etc.).  Unless the app builder is allowing stand alone applications which use the dll's from Arcpad without additional licensing fees.
 
thanks

Chris,

ArcPad does not include App Builder, but the reverse is true (App
Builder does come with 1 copy of ArcPad).

Also, ArcPad does come with a basic form building tool, from what I
understand, so you don*t necessarily need App Builder if you*re
doing basic apps.  Can anyone verify that this is true?
Thanks.

for clarification from last PDA meeting:

these are 2 different software packages.  I asked if Application
Builder came with ArcPad, it does not.

ArcPad is currently $495, and Application Builder is $1500.
