Writing a Sharp Zaurus PDA GnuCash Companion

[Colin Pinkney]

What other forms of data entry are there in development? Just wondering
because I don't want syncing to cause data loss as I am unaware of an
entire set of data.

Thanks

I agree.. I think that this app's best place would be "on the road,
real-time data entry", generally of expenses but also other
transactions.  In particular for a business context, I would expect
employees to use this to keep track of expenses while travelling, or
for home users to enter expenses in real-time, or when they get cash
from an ATM.

I don't think i'd except this app to be fully featured.

Also note that not all data entry (at least in CVS) is a financial
"transaction."
