Ilium Software is about to release a major new upgrade to their fab program eWallet. In case you were wondering, this program is one of the first items that gets installed on any new PDA I buy. If you would like get in on the 5.0 Open Beta, be sure to click this link.
What are the benefits of the new version? Read on…
Improvements include:
- Synchronize with as many wallets with as many PCs and devices as you want.
- Synchronize with servers and other PCs on a network.
- Synchronize to other folders on the same PC for automated backups.
- Synchronize to removable storage devices (USB, removable hard drives, etc.)
- Synchronize with remote locations via FTP.
- Built-in online backup/viewing capability through FilesAnywhere sync.
- Brand new sync setup interface.
- Full support for Vista and Mobile Device Center.
- All new icon set.
- Four self-installing icon packs (not posted yet!)
- eWallet Companion step-by-step help tool.
- Graphics, icons, and sounds stored in My Documents now making it easier to customize.
- “No Password Needed” wallet option.
Of course, since this is a Beta, you’ll want to back up your information just to be safe.
I’ve been using it for a few days, and so far I am very impressed; a good thing just got even better!

Hi Judie,
I just sent a comment through but it either got eaten by a page refresh or may be stuck in moderation; if it’s the latter just disgard the original.
I was wondering if you’ve tried/used WebIS’s secure wallet, FlexWallet? I am interested in hearing how the two compare, the look very similar.
Cheers,
Robbie.

Robbie, I haven’t tried Secure Wallet yet. I’ll take a look.

Sorry to confuse, it’s called FlexWallet
Seems that quite a few products out there are quite similar between SBSH/SPB/Illium, but these two wallets are very close. I’ve been trialing FlexWallet, but it looks like eWallet now has the edge with v5.0, I might have to download the BETA…
I agree with you, these apps are mandatory given all the website creds/reg keys/general logon info that one requires these days.
Cheers,
Robbie.

Robbie, I’ve been using eWallet from back in the day when I had a handheld PC! I feel pretty loyal to it (and ilium) because eWallet works flawlessly, is regularly updated, works on both Palm & PPC OS, I have always received excellent support (the few times I have needed it), and the folks at ilium are just so darn nice!
What makes it hard is I know Alex Kac personally and like him very much – he’s good people! In all honesty, I think I have put off trying FlexWallet because I know I would like it and I don’t want to have to choose – or export all my cards!

Sounds good. It’s hard to put a price tag on good, solid, support. I also like the remote access feature eWallet now has… I’m sold.
P.S. Thanks for fixing the tags in my last post, I missed the XHTML ref below.
