Pda Financial Software

 

A PDA (personal digital assistant; also known as palmtop) is a handheld device that works like a mini-computer.  It can perform many tasks, including keeping track of your finances.  There are a number of applications on the market.  The three most popular applications out there are Pocket Quicken, SplashMoney, and Spb Finance.

Pocket Quicken

Pocket Quicken v2.5.1 is the most recent version available on Palm OS.  The most impressive feature is the streamlined GUI which makes keeping track of everything a breeze.  Pocket Quicken 2.5 focuses on allowing the user to operate the application using just one hand—which is more convenient.  They’ve made this possible by creating a new technology called ThumbNav mode which complements additional new features (like auto-complete and D-Pad support).  Here are some additional features:

  • Includes a startup wizard which lets the program configure itself upon answering a few short questions
