iPhone people have all the fun

Posted by Philip Fierlinger in Banking, Company News, Design, Product News on May 23, 2008

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?

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.

Good work guys!

@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.

[...] 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?

Would love to see this on the Microsoft mobile platform, as the iphone is not for me.

Posted by Stephen Carr on 28 May 2008

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)

Posted by Brett on 29 May 2008

@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!)

@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?

Posted by Stephen Carr on 2 July 2008

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!

@James have you tried accessing go.xero.com rather than m.xero.com?

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!

Posted by Josiah on 31 July 2008

If we were to provide the ability to do a single line item invoice would that be sufficient?

Posted by Philip Fierlinger on 31 July 2008

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
