There are many shareware packages that will do personal finance on the Palm platform, but the best of the lot seems to be Landware's Pocket Quicken, which works seamlessly with Quicken on the computer to let you update expenses, cash withdrawals, credit card expenditures and other details while you're travelling.

Pocket Quicken: track your finances while you're on the road.
There is one caveat. Pocket Quicken, which costs US$39.95 (~AU$53) only works with versions 2002 or later of Quicken UK (although it works with earlier US versions). The software generally works extremely well, but it has a few quirks. The Quicken file you're synchronising with has to be closed on the host computer before you start. In addition, the software occasionally gets confused about passwords, demanding one where none has been assigned. However, this is easily solved by entering a password into the desktop file, and then deleting it.
