Amazon is giving away 10 free Kindles. No purchase necessary. All you need to be is over 18 and a US citizen to qualify. Here is how it works. Go to the Amazon Kindle facebook page. Then "Like" it. Then fill out the little form that asks for your name, email address, and phone number. Of course, I am really hoping that I or my husband will win. (Hint, Hint, David, go fill out the form.) So maybe I shouldn't be advertising this giveaway, you might just get MY Kindle. Or maybe you can just win the Kindle and mail it me. :)

Why do I like the Kindle so much when I have an iPhone? Well, two reasons:
1. Free global 3g internet with AT&T. Amazon pays the data bill so that you don't have to. Sure, they are hoping to make their money back from you downloading books to read and the web browser is pretty pathetic. But you have access to your email accounts or any blogs or news or any other web text that you like to read from anywhere on the planet that you can get a cell signal. For FREE!!! I have read about people being overseas and they were desperately trying to check their email and the only thing that was working for them was their Kindle. Oh, and if you are a homeless person and you have a Kindle. You still have web access.
2. The battery lasts a month.... Granted that is with the 3g signal turned off. But still, it lasts a month. It won't die on the airplane. If you forget your charger, its ok. I wish my cell phone's battery was like that.
Now on to the Jumsoft Money app. Being the type of person that enjoys tracking my finances, I wanted a good financial app for my iPhone. Back when I had the handheld Toshiba PDA, I used an app called Handwallet. It tracked my income and expenses. It also provided me with charts and reports that I could see on a monthly basis. It didn't have a very user friendly interface, but it was pretty decent at the time, nearly a decade ago.
So I went on a hunt to find the best financial app for the iPhone. I downloaded every free financial app that I could find on iTunes. There were alot. Most of them were quickly deleted. I was looking for certain features. I didn't want to have to use my data plan just to enter or view information. I wanted a way that I could back up my information to web so it wouldn't be lost easily. I wanted to be able to personalize my monthly expense categories. I wanted it to be able to add and track a home budget and provide me with monthly graphs and reports. I also wanted it to be pretty, user friendly, and glitch-free. Most of the apps I downloaded were quickly discarded because they didn't meet my standards. Jumsoft Money excelled in all the categories. There are no ads and it works like a charm. If you are looking for a free app to track your finances, this is the one that I highly recommend.
