Nominal can develop software for you!


 

We know how to develop software; we have been doing it forever! In fact we've developed the Nominal Accounting application and all its supporting server and mobile applications and have been involved with other projects as well.

We love software and know how hard it is to find someone you can trust with your technology and development needs. Sometimes you know exactly what you need done and need someone who can do exactly as you say, other times you are not so sure and need help with the strategy, the software architecture or to figure out your options.

Ah-ah I found a user interface design flaw with iPhone contacts app!


Perhaps it's just me but lately I feel like I keep hearing Apple is great, iPhone is simple, iPad is ground-breaking, iPod is mind blowing all day long.

We get it - Apple develops and designs amazing products, they focus on simplicity, they produce integrated products, they solve real people's problems. It's all good.

Not sure what it says about me but it gave me a strange sense of satisfaction to notice that have really did a bad job with contact search in the iPhone built in contact application.

I would probably not notice it until I actually tried to use it a few

When I sent out a newsletter to our entire mailing list about our new iPhone application, I was really keen to hear some feedback on the functionlity, design and any features that we should be adding to it.

Tax, super and you


The ATO keep surprising me, I am not sure why (probably too many American movies) but I always thought the tax office should be this hard scary organization and since arriving in this country ten years ago they keep surprising me for the best.

tax super and you

Don't get me wrong I have had my share of trouble with the ATO and I keep getting fined for late submission of BAS forms.

Today I want to share a really cool website I discovered lately: Tax, super and you

Today I thought I can try to do two things with one post, first is share some research on some of the available iPhone application for accounting software in Australia and the 2nd is to use this to introduce our own upcoming iPhone app.
