We all smile at the thought of money, and most of us turn the cheek when it comes to managing the thought of money. Count those pennies no more. LandWare, Inc., who brought us the innovative GoVox Voice Recorder, the GoType keyboard, and the popular Gulliver, has teamed up with Intuit, developers of Quicken, to help manage our money with a simple, convenient, 'anytime, anywhere' companion you will come to know as PocketQuicken.

The latest
Datacomm research report forecasts: Smart Phone and PDA shipments will soar to 350 million units by 2003. The new 245-page study details that sales will skyrocket as users embrace anytime, anywhere Internet access. One of the any conclusions in the report states:
"The Palm operating system will remain the clear market leader thanks to 3COM's spin off of Palm Computing, Handspring's introduction of the Visor PDA, and Handspring's development of the Springboard add-on hardware standard. Windows CE devices will find success in specific vertical applications, but are unlikely to catch on with consumers."

The
TRGpro, still expected to ship by the end of December, will not be marketed or sold in traditional retail stores. Instead, like the
