The Daily App: ExpenseBook For BlackBerry PlayBook

Research In Motion’s BlackBerry PlayBook has a 7-inch screen that makes it much easier for many tasks than you’d see on a BlackBerry smartphone, and ExpenseBook is a case in point.

Developed by Slick8 Solutions, ExpenseBook provides rudimentary expense tracking in either U.S. or Canadian dollars. It allows for custom-tailoring expense categories, and sorting expenses on a category-by-category basis.

Though it’s a very simple, straightforward app, it’s handy enough in the PlayBook form factor and easy enough to view on the 7-inch display that in a pinch it makes a decent way to track meals, entertainment, transportation and other costs as you incur them – without having to boot up a laptop or squint into a smart phone.

There may be higher-octane and more robust expense-tracking apps available, but the fact that ExpenseBook is both free and uncomplicated, and works on the nascent PlayBook platform, makes it worth checking out for those who are on it.
