That sounds great... I think you should definitely focus on quickly entering
detailed records of expenses and bills ... the reporting-module's job
[and eventually the budgeting subsystem's job] is limited by the quality
[and granularity] of data put into GnuCash, and as you say sometimes
it's too heavyweight to keep detailed records.  If the Zaurus app can
make that quick and easy, then the user totally wins.
