IT’S ALIVE SYNCHING! I’ve been responding to the various comments on the other posts, but I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that we are in fact synching with our iPhones and iPod Touch devices here at Ilium Software! We don’t see anything that will stand in the way of our release so watch this blog and your email. As soon as it is out we’ll let everyone know!
And just to offer a little more info – we’re synching LAN, ad-hoc, multiple locations and devices, bootcamp – it’s all working! Woo hoo!

EXcellent! Can’t wait for this to be available!
HURRAY REJOICE. I have been waiting a long time for this but now it is here! I’ve even set this blog as my home page…you should be honoured!!
Good luck with final testing…hope to get it soon!
My copy of EWallet has been languishing on my iPhone because there’s no way I was going to re-type all my cards from my Desktop version. I hope this comes out soon.
Great! I check this webpage daily and this is great news. I am using the trial period version for the PC, as soon as I get the synching working on my iPhone I’ll buy the product.
Great! Bought it but will not use it on my IPhone till the sync is working.
EXCELLENT!!
Please send it to Apple ASAP. Given that they made Ilium wait…and…wait…and…wait for the first eWallet software release, they should give you a speedy approval this time (but they probably won’t). Then we can start using it ASAP and write 5-star reviews of how great the software is!
Now you’ve done it. I had had successfully put the new release in the back of my mind assuming it was many weeks away. Now you pulled it back to the front. I hope you mean its “hours” away now…
is it here yet!!??? No.
is it here yet!!??? Nope. Still not.
is it here yet!!??? Nope…I’d better check back a few minutes later…
is it here yet!!??? arghhh. No!! Better check back in a few more minutes…
Awesome! I’ve been a loyal customer for a long time and am really happy with ewallet on my iPhone so far. I’ll keep my eyes open for the update.
Great news!
Do you have a date for the release of eWallet for Blackberry? It was supposed to be a few ‘weeks’ from July…
That’s great news!! Congrats!!
Finally… I haven’t bought the app yet, waiting for the sink because have been using with my smartphone for years and useless without all of my info. Thanks, please get published soon.
Talk about being cruel and kind in the same breath.. You have it, we want (need) it…
So when??
I am still waiting to sync! Hurry!
I don’t want to stuck with Pocket PC anymore!
In addition to the iPhone eWallet update, we’ll need a newer desktop version…right? When will that be available for download on this site?
No Apple approval needed for that…right?
David
Thank you. I have bought but not used iPhone eWallet. This is What I have been waiting for. My eWallet has too many entries to manually reenter.
GC
is it here yet!!??? Nope. Curses!
I am really looking forward to being able to enter data on my macbook pro and have it sync with my Touch. So glad to get this news.
peace and kitchen syncs
bill
we’ve been SO patient
gitrdone. you’re 2/3 there.
Please let us know the minute you send it to Apple.
Also, what is the timeline for ListPro?
Ok, but 1password has a syncing app for the iPhone about three weeks ago. Hurry!
I assume this will be a Windows only release. Question, will it work with Parallels or VMWare running Windows? I’d rather not have to go into Bootcamp just to sync my wallets.
Jeremy – yes, it will work with Parallels. I was wondering the same thing and asked them in an email. Check other blog discussions. They’re working on a Mac version of the desktop eWallet. For now I’ll be using Parallels to sync my wallet file with my iPhone. I can’t wait! Guys…your sales of eWallet are going to shoot through the roof as soon as you post the sync-able version.
Great news.
YEAH! I just bought my iPhone last night. I bought the phone version but am waiting to fully deploy with the desktop app. Thanks for the update!
Good to hear. Waiting kinda patiently. Thank you.
I just got the eWallet for my iphone, I love it so far. Can’t wait to sync it to my computer. Wondered if the desktop version will have the ability to export the data to an encrypted file that can be saved on a thumb drive. Was thinking about storing it in a safe as another backup for unexpected disasters.
Great, Cannot wait as I have alot of info to transfer. Instead of carrying around two PDA’s. will only need my IPhone. Great news.
iPhone syncing and the possibility of a Mac client coming down the line… oh please say it is true!
Absolutely great! I´m waiting for this feature. Thank you.
Best regards
Norbert
Anxious as I am to get the sync facility (and I am a very keen user), I hope we’re not going to see another round of hand wringing as everyone waits for it to appear in the AppStore – as we did with the initial release. All iPhone developers know there is an average 7-10 day processing window so users should be prepared accordingly. The inappropriateness of the 7-10 day window is immaterial, it is a fact.
If Ilium wants to ensure this revised version is in the store by the end of August (as publicised over the past month) it should be submitted by today (Aug 21). Perhaps that submission can be confirmed so we have a realistic expectation of when it will be available in the store.
@Kay: You can already back up your eWallet data using the Tools -> Make Backup feature, or even have SyncPro automatically sync or overwrite it onto any folder location on your computer (including a removable drive.)
If you mean export to some other file format that happens to be encrypted… you can’t do that.
I just hope Apple doesn’t take weeks to review the update… I want it NOW!!!
Oh yeah;
Great picture of Gene Wilder in Young Franenstein!
Good news indeed as a new iPhone owner I can’t wait!
Great to hear! I was just about ready to purchase this, but then noticed it didn’t mention syncing anywhere, so can’t wait till this is out!
Does this also mean ListPro will be syncing with Outlook???
I’m a big supporter of IliumSoft and have bought every eWallet rev since v2 I think (on the WinMo side). I have to say I’m kind of disappointed with how you’ve handled the iPhone version. Most of my initial enthusiasm that you moved so quickly to create an iPhone version is gone. I’m regretting having paid $10 for an Application that I can’t actually use because sync has not come out. It wasn’t clear when you launched the app (the first couple days) that syncing with current data was not supported (or if it was clear, I didn’t digest it properly). I wouldn’t have purchased the software if I knew that. I’m still a supporter
and think you deliver great products. I just feel like you fumbled this iPhone eWallet launch and it’s been rather painful. I hope you can get the updated version out soon, but definitely want you guys to know that loyal customers have gone from being patient to just being frustrated. Your blog has been really informative and you’ve tried to update on progress, I wish you were more clear upfront that it was going to be a weeks long process.
@Frustrated: I completely understand and I’m sorry you feel frustrated. We tried, right from the first day, to make it 100% clear that sync wasn’t out yet. We also said we would get it out in August. At this point that still seems likely. I’m sure the message didn’t get to some folks and I’m sorry about that.
It all comes back to the question of: get it out there so folks can start using it and release sync later OR release it all in August.
What we beleived (and found to be true) is that a lot of folks just wanted this sort of application on their device right now (including many existing users). Sync was something they wanted but didn’t HAVE to have. Not true for everyone but true for many. This proved especially true for new users.
So in the end, yes, we know it is a wait, and we’re sorry. We’ve been working like crazy to make good on our promises. We’ve even brought in extra people temporarily to keep everything moving. We know folks are waiting on this and we’re going to do whatever we can to hold up our end of the bargain.
Can’t wait . . .
Been using eWallet since 2004 and love it!
I say . . . Sync On! — Ilium — Sync On!
Waiting for Ilium.
@Marc: And this is why you’ll retain my loyalty. Thanks for the response and thanks for understanding that you’ve got a lot of different users with different needs. I’m still frustrated, but happy to know that you guys are adding resources to make this happen. Great sign of committment.
Surprised that existing users would want the app without sync, can’t imagine reinputting all of my data. I think my eWallet data file is around 250KB and that’s mostly text not any custom images and such. No way I’m retyping all of that back in
Yippee! My iPhone version of eWallet has been sitting stagnant. I can’t wait to sync the 90+ cards that are in my desktop version. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Just a pretty pointless comment that I, like many others here, cannot wait to get a hold of the syncing versions of the software. I bought the app when it launched as well, but haven’t used it yet because of all the info already stored on my desktop. Soon!
We’re anxiously awaiting the sync version, but be aware, Apple may take another 10 days or more to bless it and make it available for download to the iPhone.
Quick question to anyone who knows the answer –
WIll the existing Desktop version work? or will i have to buy a version that would be specific to syncing with iPhone?
I appreciate anyone clarifying this for me.
That’s great news. My (full) Ewallet is on my PC, My (empty) Ewallet is on the Iphone. I cant wait till they can talk! I too, don’t waht to re-enter 50+ cards full of info!
NOW GET TO WORK ON LIST-PRO! ; ) I’m struggling with the alternatives….
@Srini: We’re releasing a free (for owners of 6.0+) desktop upgrade that will support synching to the iPhone. It’s the same software though. Any existing partnerships (synching to USB drives, other PCs, Windows Mobile devices, etc.) will still work. All your old wallets will work and you won’t need to have two versions running on the desktop.
@Gene: We’re working on ListPro! We’ve even got a screenshot on our site in the iPhone area!
Good article
That’s Great news! I’ve been a longtime customer… recently I replaced my Pocket PC w/ an iPod Touch… your timing couldn’t be better!
I eagerly await being able to sync all of my pre-existing eWallet material (on my desktop pc) to my new device. Thanks again for your hard work.

Hey guys – the only reason I agreed to go with the iPhone 3G was because eWallet was available for it and within a couple weeks, it was said to be able to sync with my old wallet. I’ve been with eWallet since the Everex days, so I’ve got a LOT of entries I don’t want to retype. So let’s get it on and release it already, I’m tired of carrying around my 6700 because of eWallet.
I can’t say that eWallet being available on the iPhone was the only reason I moved to the iPhone 3G from my old 8525, but it certainly was a factor. I’ve already purchased it, though it is mostly sitting unused currently, as I have more stuff in it than I am willing to manually re-enter. So count me amongst those more or less patiently waiting for the sync update.
