[...] in October, Ilium sent out their first advisory board bulletin and it was such a success that they have just sent out another advisory board assignment. [...]

Are there plans for a similar advisory board for the next version of NewsBreak? (ETA on that?) I’ve got what I think are some pretty good ideas, if so.

Also, a version of NewsBreak for Blackberry might do well. My boss recently switched from Palm OS to a Blackberry and asked my advice for a RSS reader. Unfortunately, my hands-down recommendation — NewsBreak — wasn’t an option. He found a solution, but he would have purchased NewsBreak if it had been available.

@Charlie: Regarding opening the same wallet, we’ve got that in 6.2. It annoys us too but wasn’t something we’d had time to address up until now. As for facial recognition, very cool – honestly, I wouldn’t expect to see that any time soon though. Sorry!

@Douglas: I wish I had a better answer Douglas. All I can tell you is that we’re working with WebIS to get it done. We got another new build Monday and it’s being tested now. We all want to get this thing out. I certainly understand your frustration and I just don’t have a better answer. Sorry.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, you really didn’t answer the question posed on the status of the BB version! I’m sure I’m not the only one who has been waiting on this update for months now. You’ve pushed this back much further than I anticipated and now it’s just frustrating having to carry a phone and a PDA to retrieve my passwords. I really like the application, but if we won’t see this version before the end of the year, I’m going to look elsewhere.

Request for eWallet on the iPhone:

I hate entering my password every time. How about letting me log in by taking a picture of my face and recognizing it?

Request for eWallet on the desktop:

Every so often, I accidentally start eWallet when there is already an instance running, usually minimized. The response from the program is a series of confusing error messages and offers of bad choices, and lots of hassle before I get back to where I need to be.

My suggestion: If I start eWallet when its already running, just quietly “forgive” me by activating the current instance, and restoring its window if minimized. My guess is that’s what just about everyone who commits this blunder wants.

@Kenneth: Our policy has always been that we can do an exchange within 30 days of purchase. After that it is the standard $9.99 or $10 to add a new platform – in this case Mac. We are far enough out right now that I’m not sure what the exact policy will be but we’ll let everyone know.

@Ronald: We’re looking at that Ronald. Here is the key problem there – on WM we have to write ALL the “cool UI stuff” from scratch. It’s still a lot of work on the iPhone, but they offer a lot more built-in that we can take advantage of than WM does. So while offering cool/reflective/etc. visuals on iPhone is a lot of work, doing the same thing on WM is a HUGE amount of work.

@James: Hey, James. We don’t have specific plans for NewsBreak at this time but I’ve added your vote!

I’ve used eWallet and NewsBreak on my Dell PDA from your company for years now. Both are great products. Recently I upgraded from my PDA to an iPhone for obvious reasons and would like to continue using your products. I was able to purchase eWallet for my iPhone but you don’t have NewsBreak available yet. Are you planning on developing NewsBreak for the iPhone as well?

i think we need the iphone version(look and feel) on windows mobile 6.1
the current ppc version is really only for ppc’s and not for al the newer wm6.1 phones like the omnia i900

I have eWallet for the iPhone (used it on Microsoft devices for years). I have access to Windows but would prefer to sync with my Mac. If I buy the Windows desktop version of eWallet just so I can sync, will I be able to transfer that license to the Mac version when released?
