Quicken optimized for the iPhone

Intuit has announced that starting January 8th, they will be offering a iPhone-optimized version of their popular financial software, Quicken. The application will be completely web-based, with a fee of $3 per month for access. Sure, the iPhone version won’t offer every aspect of the full software version, but for those who want to keep an eye on their finances, even on the go, it’s a pretty nifty idea.

On second thought, it’s a great idea. Anyone who spends $500 on a phone probably needs the financial direction to begin with. Us included in that demographic.
