LandWare has announced the release of Pocket Quicken 2.01r2b3, a new version of the personal financial software for Palm-powered devices and Macs running Mac OS X.

Pocket Quicken works hand in hand with Intuit’s Quicken 2002 for Mac OS X, Palm Desktop 4.0 or later, and a Palm OS-based PDA. It provides a way for Palm PDA users to help keep track of their finances when they’re mobile.

LandWare noted that this new release “fixes all known conduit issues.” Specific changes made in this version include:

  • Conduit Settings interface are completely “Aqua-fied”
  • The act of changing the HotSync action (Synchronize or Do Nothing) no longer sets that action as the default. The Default button must now be used to permanently change this setting.
  • In HotSync Details for each account, the Last Sync Date now reports the correct year.

    • The new beta conduit carries the following minimum system requirements: Quicken 2002 for Mac OS X (US/Canadian version only); Palm Desktop 4.0 Beta or later; Pocket Quicken 2.0.1 installed on Palm-based handheld.
