Why were these not issues with eWallet? Based on your experience with eWallet are you unhappy with its synching and are trying to improve on it via ListPro?

For what little it is worth I am very happy with the way eWallet syncs. It is, IMHO, far superior to that used by HandDBase

We WILL add it however.

@Ken M: A couple problems. First, LOTS of people don’t like synching via wifi for a variety of reasons. Second, MANY people don’t have wifi at home and don’t want to sync at Starbucks. Third, Bonjour (which is what is used to enable the wireless sync) doesn’t work for everyone – lots of reasons why, but it just doesn’t.

Now granted, we can’t fix the wifi issue right now but we hope that we CAN fix the Bonjour issues. That is what we’re looking at right now.

But then, of course, technology evolves. It is so dynamic that it evolves into an improved version unto various uses as well. Apple developed for iPhone is new to me but surely would be able to provide features and a service that Apple had been giving all these years.

That having been said I am puzzled by you statements regarding sync. You have a very usable (I will go as far as saying one of the best) sync capabilities already with eWallet. Why can’t that technology be used for ListPro?

I love syncing over the air. I also realize this is a problem in some work environments that have their Wi-Fi locked down.

We will all be very excited on release day of both Listpro and eWallet for MAC.

However, I did not see a response on when we can expect an update to eWallet allowing bigger text? I know it’s the forbidden timetable question (LOL) but what ever you can tell us would be appreciated! Like, expect it on the next update…

It’s truly amazing how much power we carry in the palm of our hands now.

I’m curious about your statement that “established companies will fail, and some new ones will succeed.” Were you referring to software or hardware companies or both?
