Users can track any type of transaction for accounts such as checking, savings, credit cards and cash. The Bookman for Pocket Quicken has two slots that accept all Bookman cartridges, which include various references and the Bible, and is designed for on-the-road use. The small device, which opens clamshell fashion to reveal a keyboard and a three-line liquid crystal display, is part of Franklin's Bookman line.
Now Franklin Electronic Publishers has introduced the first dedicated electronic device for Quicken. Unfortunately, these devices cost many hundreds of dollars and are out of reach for many people who just want to balance their checkbooks.
Pocket Quicken, one of the leading mobile financial tracking programs, has been available on several personal digital assistants (PDAs), such as the Sony Magic Link and the Apple Newton. Users of Quicken, a highly popular personal finance program from Intuit Inc., can now take it with them at a reasonable price.
