Ilium Software has released eWallet 4 for the Pocket PC and Windows desktop. I am not sure if they have even updated their website for it just yet. :wink:
Just a few of the new features of eWallet 4.0 include:
• Subcategories - you can now add subcategories, or nested categories, to your folders, as shown in the image above.
• Record level synchronization - you can opt to synchronize individual Cards between your desktop and Pocket PC files instead of doing the entire file.
• True icons supported on the Pocket PC - those that have used eWallet for years recall that you used to have to "convert" desktop icons to special BMP files with a .BMI extension for use on the Pocket PC if you wanted custom icons for your cards or categories. Those BMP files were around 13K each, so having dozens could really eat up RAM space. No longer! Now the smaller 3K .ICO files from your desktop are supported. Better still, if they have the same names on your PC and Pocket PC, you can just copy them over and delete the .BMI files and eWallet 4 will use the icons.
• Password hints supported
I've been using this now for a few months. All of these features are welcome additions. My favorite electronic wallet just got better! :way to go: As of this posting, I don't know what upgrade pricing will be, but they have always been fair in the past. As soon as they get their site updated and the downloads ready to go, you can get a trial or buy the it at the Pocket PC Thoughts Handango Store for $19.95. The Professional Version, which includes eWallet 4.0 for your Pocket PC and desktop is $29.95.
Update: Upgrade info is now available.
