QUOTE(jady @ Mar 24 2009, 09:00 PM) Just curious what kind of Finance Apps you guys using right now? I just purchased Pocket Money today (it's on sales $4.99 from $8.99)... quite intuitive to use, you can add in multiple account, do transaction, and can add in your budget to control spending. However, anyone try Money apps before? Kinda high rating but expensive... Any good dictionary to recommend? I bought Wordbook Dictionary, however a bit dissapointed with the build-in pronunciation, even the free Powerword Basic can pronounce faster and clearer. For those staying in Penang, can try to download PG bridge as it provide updated access to webcams in key traffic spot of Penang bridge. I'm using XpenseIT... not bad.. if only they allow us to create according to our personal "jars" and set the budget for each jars..it will be better to manage our money then.

It allows exporting of the data as well, but the UI isn't as intuitive as Pennies. Mint.com is supposed to be pretty good but not that useful outside the US. I wonder if there are any apps that can link the spending to a location, that would be quite cool IMO.

I use Handbrake for DVD -> iPod Touch, and FFMpeg for normal videos -> iPod  Or you can just go to your "Movies" tab under iTunes, and select the "Create iPod / iPhone version" option under the "Advanced" tab. This post has been edited by Playboy21: Mar 25 2009, 05:55 PM

Yup, all those are free.
Added on March 25, 2009, 9:00 pmHey guys, i just downloaded two new awesome puzzle games off the app store. Both have the same concept, it's just that the graphics are different from one another.
1) iTrafficFree 2) TrafficjamLE
Both are free, and yea, they're both really addictive.
The concept is pretty simple. You're stuck in a something like a maze, and you have to move other cars (objects) in certain directions to give you a clear path to move your car towards the exit. It's as simple as that, but as you advance to higher levels, you will, for sure face some sort of troubles. Try it guys, it's really fun.

Yes, you can. You need to authorize iTunes on different PCs, up to 4 max.

Remember to add in your income in the budget category, then u will know how much money u can save per month. Hope it helps

Ok, let says u create a new item in Accounts, click + add "Cash" for eg, this Cash account u add in deposit RM200... so u have RM200 show at the 'Current Balance'
Then u click Budget button, add in Food budget RM100. Click arrow, spend RM2 (select withdraw from Account - Cash - it will auto deduct from ur cash account)
then back to budget front page, u can see green colour bar on the Food section. Left side is the amount u spent, right side is the amount left, that u still can spend within the budget. So left side shld show RM2, right side RM98. Then below it, if the big sum is in red colour that means your account is in negative.
So in the Budgets-Income section, add in ur budget for income eg +salary RM2000, then click the arrow and place a deposit of RM2000 (eg from company cheque) Then return to the Budgets page, u can see the Income budget for your salary is in yellow bar (ie the budget has been fulfilled)
Below the lower right will show green colour font with amount RM1998 saved. Left side will show "Income RM2000 of RM2000 & Expenses RM2 of RM100 (this is the budget that u key in, it will add up all ur budget together)
So if u create budget for food rm100, budget for entertainment rm100, transport rm100, and so far only spend rm2 for food, then the Expenses bar will show RM2 of RM300.

Hey guy. Idownloaded two more apps today, and yea they're both pretty darn fun to use. The first one is Bug Squash and the other is EyeTricks. I got them both for free from the app store.
Bug Squash is a game where you have to squash bugs that are moving around your screen. The graphics is alright, and it gets pretty hard lol. Eyetricks on the other hand is an app which has quite a number of cool illusions to choose from. It's really nice, and yea, be prepared to be blown away.
