Kyle and I are happy to announce the availability of Transactions and Transactions Lite for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Transactions is a sweet little app that lets you securely process credit cards using either your Authorize.net account, or PayPal's Website Payments Pro service directly from your mobile device.

We have a bunch of nice touches in there, such as a web-based credentials tool, which allows you to securely setup an email, containing a specially formatted URL, to keep you from having to type credentials strings (which are HUGE) directly into the app. The UI is very intuitive, and features Address Book integration for customer information. All of your information is securely guarded via the iPhone's Keychain and all of the transactions are performed over a secure SSL tunnel directly to the processor's backend systems. All of this is combined with logs which you can save from the iPhone into CSV and email directly to your email account.

Transactions is an awesome solution for people who need to be able to accept credit card payments away from the office easily and inexpensively. It's available at the App Store for $29.99. Get it from the App Store.

Transactions Lite is free, but is limited to 2 credit card transactions every 12 hours. Get it from the App Store.

Twittelator Pro shipped today! Congrats to Andy Stone at Stone Design on a great release. I got the chance to Beta test the app, and I must say that I really enjoyed the experience.

On my iPhone, I use both Tweetie and Twittelator Pro, as each application has strengths and weaknesses. Some of my favorite features of Twittelator Pro include:

• Conversation Threading (just tap the bubble)
• Configurable Photo Hosting
• Multiple Account Support

Plus, the new themes are gorgeous.

For a more detailed list of the features, please visit the Twittelator Pro Feature List.

Cocktails+ happily supports posting to Twitter via Twittelator Pro.
