One of the things that I love about this biz is the opportunity to hook up with some really awesome people. Case in point – Ilium Software… Ellen Craw, one of the driving forces over at Ilium must have the inside track on finding awesome people. EVERYONE that I have dealt with over there is just fabulous to work with. Its really quite amazing… (Where the heck does she find them all?!)  ;)

Anyway, with the release of Ilium software’s eWallet for iPhone over the weekend, the burning question has been put to me a number of different times: When will the iPhone version have desktop sync??  Funny you should ask… I just got off the phone with Ellen, and she said the word, “August;” but also said that August 2008 is very aggressive.  However, its something that is on their immediate to do list.

Existing eWallet customers that have *.wlt files will eventually be able to sync their existing wallet files with the iPhone version of eWallet.  However, Ellen didn’t have the techical details for me (i.e. whether the sync is done directly via eWallet , as with the existing WM version, or whether it will be done with iTunes).  It is not known whether iTunes will need to be installed to provide the sync conduit, or not.  All of these technical details are still pending desgin/development.

HOWEVER, if you are wanting the total and complete scoop, including timing and any other juicy tid-bits, you need to check out Ilium Software’s Blog.  You’ll find all sorts of cool information there.
