I don't know if I'll stick to this iPhone App once the new wears off, but it is VERY well done. Pretty to look at, too. Are you a budget freakazoid like me? If so, check out Pennies.

I've been using Pennies all week. I love it. So simple. So easy. Maybe too simple for some, but all I want is a nice clean way to track my expenses and this does the trick.
I always fear a free version that's better will be released by someone after i buy it. Hate that.

Tim: Way to stay on topic. ;) We're rounding the final bend.
Justin: I hear ya. But I'm also a huge fan of Disco and AppZapper from the same guys. Own them both, use them religiously. Three bucks to support great software; that's all it took for me to hit 'BUY'.

Although i don't own an iPhone/Touchy (yet), i felt like i had to buy it. I think my next expense will actually be an iPhone, just to run this app.

I think I'll probably buy this app before I actually buy my iPod Touch (soon). This app seems like the only budget app done right, on Mac or iPhone/iPod Touch.
I also hope there's a Mac app for this in the future as well.

Love the GUI with the gas tank display for your money… but I don't need this app to confirm how bad I already know my cash flow is ;-(

I've been using Pennies for the last week and I like it. It's stupid simple, but I don't see updates coming for it any time soon based on the frequency of updates to Disco and AppZapper, but it fills a very simple role.
I like budgeting and keeping track of my money so this is a nice thing to have on my phone to just enter in purchases. I tried the all cash budget for a while but it was too hard to always have cash on hand. Having this allows me to use my debit card for all purchases and make sure I'm staying within my monthly allotment of free spending money.
But, if Cha-Ching comes out with an iPhone app that syncs, I'm throwing Pennies into the trash and dancing a jig while I do it.

Brad Smith founded Neubix, a quirky Midwestern design studio, with Ryan Sims in 2001. Now residing in great metropolis of New York City, he Captains a ship named Virb. Brad is a fan of neat rows, sad songs and sharpies. He's a lover, not a fighter and still thinks Darth Vader was framed.
A list of recent openings at Authentic Jobs:
Post your job opening and reach designers everywhere
WORK & PLAY: They're never ok to mix the way we do.
The Design Eye crew reunites to tackle a fan favorite in round 2.
The other night, I couldn't sleep, so I decided to tweak out my profile on MySpace.
I decided to make a full length short film at 3 AM, starring none other than Brad Smith.
This bubble has become My White Whale; and my battle begins. Call me Ishmael.
Notflixing, Flopflixing, Superfluoflixing and more - a collection of terms for fanatics.
When will the new Virb be released? I'm dying here.
