That's great for you. Sorry you're so behind and can't make it to your desktop to do some data entry. It seems to me you aren't that committed to keeping daily track of your expenses if you have months worth and are just using the excuse of not having a mobile app to enter them. I also don't think having an iPhone version is actually going to help you. I have a food diary app on my iPhone and it's WEEKS behind, even though I have it with me constantly. I don't think a link to a portable version is as paramount for others as it appears to be for you. I'd venture to guess not everyone on this forum even has an iPhone, so they focus on the desktop version. There were serious new features that the desktop version needed before most people would have considered it full featured. I take the time to sit down with my wife and the checkbook every other week (or more often) to balance and take care of any outstanding bills. It just helps us. I'm actually concerned about trying to sync our two iPhones with MoneyWell and then make sure we actually captured all the transactions while we were running around. I doubt there are that many people that would run all their finances on their phone. Windows iPhone and iPod Touch users would be in this boat. I'm guessing the majority of iPhones and Touches fall into this category. I think Kevin does a good job balancing the "squeaky wheels" (I'm an admitted member) versus shipping the right set of features he has in mind for each release. He's clear when a feature will be added. Lots of things are being delayed until at least 2.0.
