Mint.com iPad app "will be out very shortly"

A while ago I wrote about four websites that need iPad apps: Facebook, Mint, LinkedIn, and Google Docs. Facebook stepped up to the plate, and now an official Mint.com rep has confirmed publicly what two Mint employees had told me in private a while ago: the Mint.com iPad app is coming soon.

In a tweet posted October 11th, Mint mobile designer Jaanus Kase said "the @mint iPad app is nearly done and will be out very shortly." He followed that up three days later with a posting on Mint's satisfaction forums which states that the next Mint app will be universal (both for iPhone and iPad) and that it will require iOS 5, which is one of the reasons the company could not release it before now.

Also, for those of you with iPhone 3G units, the new Mint app will not work since the maximum iOS on that device is 4.2.1. However, Kase states that Mint will continue to support its current iOS app for those running iOS 4.

LinkedIn and Google Docs? The spotlight's on you now.

This is a pretty solid list…I use a lot of them but you have brought a few new ones to my attention, too, so thanks for that! My favorite app of all though has to be the TV Everywhere app from DISH Network. As a customer/employee it lets me watch live TV or DVR events off my home receiver from anyplace in the world that gives you access to a 3G or wifi connection. I can use it on a tablet computer like the ipad, a smartphone, or my laptop. Love it.
