Free Mobile Program

All of us hate paying bills but unfortunately until the day that utility companies make everything free they're a necessary evil. Parting with money is always going to be painful, but you can take the sting out of it a bit by installing a billing management program.

Bill Buddy lets you take care of your outgoings using your Pocket PC, providing you with a simple database for logging due billings. As long as you have the .Net Compact Framework installed, the program is a breeze to set up. The interface is basic but practical, displaying all the outstanding bills for a particular month, along with their due date.

You can add a new bill entry very simply, just by clicking 'New' and entering the date you received the demand and the date it's due, selecting the month, day and year from a drop-down menu or calendar display.

Once you've entered data you can quickly view it in list format to clearly see what you've still got left to pay each month. To edit an entry or mark it as paid you need to select it from the list and choose 'Modify' from the 'Options' menu. Call me lazy, but I would've liked one-click access to the entry, but I guess you can't have everything.
