Iliumsoft has announced a business model that I really like. “Because when you buy or upgrade eWallet, it’s for you, not your device.” How can you not like that?! Especially in this mobile world where many of us are constantly switching from and between iPhone, Windows Phone, Blackberry, and more – this is a move that some other companies should heed. (Are you listening, Iambic? WebIS? Kinoma?)
I’ve told you about eWallet in the past (eWallet for iPhone, eWallet for Windows Mobile), and the app itself just gets better. They’ve recently updated to version 7, and added lots of new features. The new desktop client for Windows has an updated UI that is easy to use, pleasant to look at, and overall reminds me a lot of the functionality of Microsoft’s Office 2007. And yes, there is finally a Mac desktop version coming, as well as a “web companion.”
Here are some of the updates to the Windows desktop version (which works great on Windows 7!):
- Use AutoPass with Firefox: eWallet’s AutoPass feature now enters usernames and passwords for you in Firefox, as well as Internet Explorer.
- Enjoy a great new look: eWallet for Windows has a brand-new interface, making it easier than ever to work with your info. And if the new look just isn’t for you – choose the Classic Style to use eWallet the way you remember it!
- Give eWallet some personal touches: personalize eWallet with a selection of styles, color schemes, and background options for a one-of-a-kind look.
- Open your most used cards fast: the new Recent Card list shows you which cards you’ve just had open, so you can switch back to them quickly.
- Keep eWallet ready when you need it: leave the program running when your wallet locks on security timeout – no waiting for eWallet to load the next time you need to open a wallet.
- Get quick tips as you work: new ToolTips offer pointers and teach you how to use eWallet’s options, so you can learn more as you go.
- Choose one style for all your cards: set global properties for your cards like the gradient background color, card borders, showing the icon or the hidden fields, and more.
- Read your info quickly: optional shading for alternate rows makes it easier to see each card item when you’re working in Flex View.
- Find help fast if you need it: eWallet’s Help Center links you right to our email support, online knowledgebase, step-by-step tutorials and full eWallet documentation.
- Work on Windows 7: eWallet is fully compatible with the new Windows 7 OS, as well as Windows Vista and XP.
- Enjoy many other new features: eWallet 7.0 also has improved remote sync options, updated printing (including print preview), a customizable Quick Access toolbar, faster search that displays results as you type – there are too many updates to list!
While eWallet 7 is not available for Palm, it is available for iPhone, Windows Phone, and Blackberry. Check out all the details from Iliumsoft, and try eWallet on all your devices!
