Mobile payment company Obopay now has an iPhone client. The dedicated application features include:
- Send money to anyone with a US phone number
- Send money to your kids or anyone 13 years of age or older and track how they spend the money all from your iPhone
- View full transaction history
- Receive money free of charge regardless of how many people send you money or the amount you receive
- Setup your account to automatically deposit the funds that you receive into your own bank account without having to manually intervene
- Request money from contacts
- Receive a push notification when you get a request for money
- Check the status of a request anytime, from anywhere
Sending money costs as little as $0.25 per transaction, the application itself is free (AppStore link), so I don’t see a reason why not to try it out.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
