SplashMoney 4 Does Handheld Wireless Banking
SplashData today announced SplashMoney 4.0, a personal finance application for Palm OS handhelds that now allows users to instantly download their most recent banking account activities through a wireless connection on a PDA or smartphone.
SplashMoney is a complete personal financial manager for Palm OS handhelds and desktop computers that allows users to record transactions, track account balances, generate reports and budgets, and manage finances while on the go. Beyond the new wireless online banking capabilities and two-way synchronization with the included desktop software, SplashMoney 4.0 features a streamlined user-interface, charting of financial data, the ability to assign icons to transactions, transaction filtering, and bank account reconciliation. SplashMoney may be used as a stand-alone application on a Palm OS handheld or desktop computer, and is optimized for two-way synchronization between the two.
“SplashMoney has always been a favorite of handheld enthusiasts that want to manage their finances while on the go,” said John Chaffee, president of SplashData. “The new wireless banking support is sure to be a boon for anyone using a Treo smartphone or wireless-enabled PDA. By including both handheld and desktop software with seamless synchronization between the two, we are able to provide a complete end-to-end financial management solution of unparalleled integration, simplicity and value.”
SplashMoney 4.0 is available now for $29.95 [BUY]. Registered users of previous versions of SplashMoney may upgrade for $9.95. It is also available as part of the SplashWallet Suite, which includes SplashID, SplashMoney, SplashPhoto and SplashShopper at a 50% discount. A full functioning 30-day trial version is also available for download.

RE: SplashMoney vs. Pocket Quicken
Despite that, I'm not sure I like the new UI which was introduced in v4.0 - that toolbar at the bottom of the screen is, I think, a big step backwards. When will developers realise that toolbars with a bunch of meaningless icons detract from the ease of use of their programs? I have gone back to the v3.03 version of SplashMoney, because it has buttons which are consistent with usual Palm OS way of doing things.
If you are looking for an account management/budgeting application, don't let my little rant dissuade you from trying SplashMoney - it's truly excellent (apart, that is, from the silly toolbar issue).

RE: SplashMoney vs. Pocket Quicken
For my purposes, so far I find the program practically useless ...too much fooling around with too much unreliability to either risk my data or continue risking my time. I can only conclude that the writer of the recent review at Bargain PDA.com did not trial the program very thoroughly...if he/she had, they would have run into the roadblocks that I and many other users have run into over the past several months. True, the program looks better than Pocket Quicken's latest (vers.2.5), but "looks" aren't enough in a financial program. A high level of reliable functionality is essential.
I have used an earlier version of Pocket Quicken for many years without a hitch. The new version 2.5 was released a few days ago and I will trial it...hopefully Landware will have tested their beta versions thoroughly enough that Version 2.5 does what it claims to do in its advertising and owner's manual. If so, I will upgrade my old version.
I am a practically oriented "functional-use only" financial program customer...I have no interest in "fooling around with my Palm" for entertainment purposes, or working as an unpaid tech for software developers. I should add though, that Splashmoney's developers seem personable and demonstrate a prompt, clear commitment to customer support, though their resources appear overstretched in their effort to introduce a reliable desktop program integral to a Palmtop wireless banking capable version, witness their "market now, work out the problems later" approach to the development of Splashmoney 4. Regrettably they appear to encourage the Bargain PDA.com reviewer re the publication of the "glowing" review rather than to correct the review's apparent assumptions that all the features he/she describes in the review in fact currently work as readers are therein lead to believe(eg: "with the included desktop client, it can print reports that come in handy during tax seasons" as opposed to "it may some day be able to, as planned, print reports"). Hence, my own comments to the contrary.
I see Splashmoney as a program with future potential (a future I have invested in with my cash contribution), so I'll give Splashmoney a year or two to work out the kinks before I will invest any more time or money in the program. Meanwhile, I can only hope that Landware (Pocket Quicken) wasn't similarly budget constrained in their marketing/development approach to Version 2.5 and that I will find in it a reliable enhancement of their old product.

Press release: CUPERTINO, California — February 11, 2005 — Apple® announced today that Steve Jobs will begin selling his own feces to Apple Cultists beginning March 1. Apple's new iPoo™ lineup is expected to easily surpass the iPod shuffle as the company's most popular product. Yes, Apple Cultists can already easily create their own iPoo™, but feces didn't seem cool until Jobs told them it was cool. Remember, kids: the ONLY cool feces is Jobs' highly individualistic, rebellious iPoo™ (coming soon in six different colors/flavors, including the red [hematochezia] and black [melena] U2 GI bleed model)
