iPhone people have all the fun
Fresh from the Xero labs, we’re very pleased to announce a customised version of Xero for iPhone (and iPod Touch). It’s never been easier to have your accounts on hand.
Xero for iPhone gives you an overview of the accounts for every organisation you manage. See all your bank balances, recent transactions and who owes you money. You can even call any contact with a single tap.
Xero for iPhone is available immediately to all Xero customers at no extra charge. Simply login at http://m.xero.com. It’s also available for anyone to try for free by simply signing up to Xero.
Please have a play and tell us what you think. What else would you want from Xero on your iPhone?

Pretty Cool – been using on my iTouch. nice work
This is pretty cool! I can see my bank balances and accounts recieveable on the go.
Looks good too 
Everything is nice and big and easy to touch on the iPhone.
Thanks guys!
[...] Out today is an iPhone version of Xero. [...]
You guys have all the fun!
Good call and good timing. Now to get those cash registers pinging an IRD compliant tax e-receipt to attach to the expense record and I might finally get my expense reconciliation done on time …
Looks gorgeous on my iPod touch. Very nice. Thank you.

Today was the day Xero made accounting sexy
Why not other mobile browsers? iPhones account for a tiny percentage of smartphones in the world, but i guess they are the hyped ones right now.
@chris The iPhone might currently account for a small part of the handset market, but it’s growing fast and going global.
If you look beyond the handset stats and focus on mobile web traffic, the iPhone has already surpassed and is easily dominating all other mobile phone browsers combined. Think what will happen when it dominates the handset market like the iPod.
We designed for iPhone because it finally delivers a usable mobile web experience. Plus, we don’t have to do massive re-tooling to get it to work. It’s a browser and a platform we can work with, not work against.
Cheers.

Cool! That’s going to be sooo useful. Great work, guys and girls.

[...] an iPhone interface to Xero obviously makes a lot of sense. It’s a web application but optimized for iPhone delivery. [...]
Quick update: I got some flack from our head Crackberry at Xero for making it sound like we’re only ever going to support the iPhone.
The iPhone version is really a test bed for us to see where things can go with mobile and Xero.
We would love to hear what other mobile platforms you think we should support?

[...] I’ve been sceptical about putting financial clients onto this device I can see the utility. As the company says in its blog post: Xero for iPhone gives you an overview of the accounts for every organisation you manage. See all [...]
Would love to see this on the Microsoft mobile platform, as the iphone is not for me.
would love the ability to email a pdf invoice from the mobile page (so if I am with a client I can send unpaid inovices to them instantly)
@Stephen Should work on almost any mobile platform. Few tweaks to do for mobile IE – but give it a go and let us know what we need to do.
@Brett Yep – we’ll be adding more features to our mobile version over time.
Would love to have mobile access on Symbian S60 platform, using Nokia N95 and it rocks.
I have just signed up for Xero, and will be replacing all my company handsets with iPhones on the 11′th.
The big question is, when will I be able to invoice from my iPhone?
(Preferably yesterday!)
[...] are planning on making an appearance with their iPhones so you can get a chance to see the iPhone version of Xero [...]
@Craig – Yes I can log in on my Ipaq, but and can navigate about my bank accounts and contacts, but cant get into the accounts section to invoice etc. Im assuming that there is a drop down menu that my mobile IE can not handle?
Tried this out on IE for Windows mobile and was pooped. But ran it on the Iris Web Browser by Torch Mobile on WM6 and was able to use it just as if i was using an iphone. But I would love the ability to do invoices from my phone!

[...] week after the 3G iPhone went on sale around the globe we have NZ iPhone specific sites appearing. Xero announced there’s 2 months ago and now Kiwibank have launched one. I can’t imagine they [...]
Interface is nice, quite cut down though, as has previously been mentioned the ability to send invoices would be super, that’s what I’m *really* hanging for!
How awesome would that be, you’re at a clients place, you do X hours of work, and invoice them on the spot for Y amount!
Looking forward to seeing Xero’s iPhone app and discussion at GGG on the 13th….?
philip I need to do multiline invoices with my iPhone thanks
I love it! I will transfer my data from Quick Books Pro as soon as you can provide me with Canadian Payroll–of course, just like an Income Tax Return, the bureaucrats make it too complicated so one is forced to use a computer program.
I would also like you to add–for the iphone version, the ability to take a picture of an invoice payable or receipt to document a transaction.
The Iphone software for something like this is http://www.ixpenseit.com/
But putting the data right into the company books with the electronic receipt is super!
Great work!
Hi Boyd, great ideas. We’re not likely to do Canadian payroll ourselves but if you point us to a Canadian web based payroll provider we’d happily make contact to work with them.
How can accounting be better than doing bank reconciliations while laying on the grass outside on a beautiful sunny Wellington day… Who needs an office any more!
Very nice design. As an App developer, I applaud on good work. Shameless plug: if you want a basic financial calculator, though, try out BisCal. (Yes, my company makes it.)
Was there any more movement on connecting to a Canadian Payroll web service? We don’t use one but we’d sure like to move in that direction.
Hi there
My business is a recent convert to Xero – love it despite hating accounting! Do you have any plans to allow the addition of expenses through the mobile version? I like Xero because it means I can do business finances “little and often” rather than fearing the pile of paper every month/quarter.
So the ability to fall out of restaurant after a boozy client lunch and add the receipt to xero on the way back to the office really appeals to me for some reason…
Seriously – it is the one “little and often” transaction that I would need in a mobile version. Not that I spend my time having boozy lunches.
Regards
Brian
Nice start, but would be better with a snapshot of this month’s actual and budget sales, expenses and profit.
