eWallet 6.1 Released
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "Pocket PC Software" @ 06:00 AM
"eWallet 6.1, released in July 2008, is the latest version of eWallet for Windows Mobile, Palm OS, Windows PCs, UMPCs and U3 Smart Drives."
This actually came out about a week or so ago and I have been so busy at work I neglected to post on it. I've been using it for about 2 months in various beta stages and as always, Ilium's betas are as stable or more stable than some released products. Nothing earth-shattering in this release, but a lot of niceties added that keep eWallet at the top of my list of apps to install on my desktop and Pocket PC. This is a free upgrade for 6.0 users. If you have 5.x or an earlier release, see the information on their web site for upgrade eligibility.
Some of the new features include:
- Personalize your card fields to work best for you: assign a type to any field in a card. Set multiple hidden fields, phone numbers, live email or web links, choose which fields to use with AutoPass - any type of data you want!
- Get quick access to your most-used cards: create card shortcuts and build a Favorites folder for the info you want to open fast.
- Search smarter: the Find feature now gives you a list of all possible cards that match what you're looking for. This is my favorite new feature. It really helps when your eWallet file has well over 100 cards in it.
- Work faster on a non-touch screen device: Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) users can now enjoy easier card editing on their devices.
