iBiz updated, goes Universal
iBiz is a great time and billing management app for those who are self-employed or otherwise might have a need for keeping track of their projects, right down to the minute and dime. It integrates well with Address Book and iCal for all your contact and todo needs, which is great, for example, if a client would like to see a published calendar of the time you've spent on their project.
iBiz also acts a bit like a file/project management dashboard, as you can associate files with a project in iBiz and automatically start timing you work when you open the file from within the app. Once a project is done, iBiz also offers a healthy array of invoice options, ready for print, PDF and/or email. Networking capabilities are also baked in, with an iBiz Server edition available, but I don't work in that environment so I don't have much to say on that end.
It looks like we haven't mentioned iBiz on TUAW before, but I can personally vouch for it as a great app since I've been using it for a couple years now. This latest update brings it to version 2.5 with better iBank integration and bug fixes, and also adds Universal Binary goodness. A 10-day demo is available, while a single user license will run you a mere $29.99.

Enough with the "..... goes Universal!" already!!!
For this we have versiontracker et al. Keep TUAW free of those version updates!

I second David's recommendation of this app for small business needs. I've been using it for almost a year now with my business and it has been excellent. I went through no less than 8 other business orieented software solutions before finding peace with iBiz. Highly recommended!

Glad to hear it's universal. iBiz (still liked the iWork name better, oh well) is one of my essential applications that transformed the way I do business. It helped a random creative-type person like me get orgainzed about tracking my time and building proper estimates. It helped me become profitable!
It's not perfect, but it's really a great, polished app. Well worth the price for freelancers.
