I didn't know about xpenser before, I'm about to give it a try. The  
one problem I foresee is when I don't have a network connection.  
Something that could store data internally in the iPhone would be good.

I used to use PocketMoney on the Palm, but I was never able to get the  
palmsync extension to work.

My priorities:

#1 I'm looking for a simple form on the iPhone to enter cash  
transactions and easily import them into MoneyDance at the next sync.

#2 A way to check balances on a couple of accounts would be good too.

I looked at mint.com, but it doesn't provide cash accounts. I want to  
keep track of my cash expenditures. I'm sticking with MoneyDance for  
now, but I'd like an easy way to keep track of transactions on the road.
