eWallet 5.0 Beta About to Commence!

September 25, 2006 by Marc

That’s right! We’re about to start a full beta on eWallet 5.0. We’re very excited about the new features and look forward to getting reaction from our customers! One truth of software development is that sometimes things look amazing from our perspective, but once it hits the masses we discover that the “great idea” is far less impressive from a user point of view. Hence the need for a good beta run!

The beta group will include a very select bunch of people but we do have open slots so if you’re interested drop a line to beta@iliumsoft.com . Not only do we need our usual group of Palm, Pocket PC, and Windows Mobile Smartphone folks, but we’re also looking for people who don’t use a PDA at all anymore.

Arrrr! Happy Talk Like a Pirate Day!

September 19, 2006 by Marc

Ahoy there! Unless ye’ve been stranded on a desert island, ye know that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day . The crew here at Ilium Software want to wish all of ye good sailing. And to celebrate, we’ve created this special InScribe 2007 keyboard layout just for pirates! (Ye can spy InScribe 2007 here if ye haven’t already!)

Also, be sure to check out the booty offered by our mates over at Astraware. They’ve got some special offers on Pirate Software ye might like! May the wind be at yer back and yer powder stay dry.

InScribe is Now Available!

September 18, 2006 by Marc

It’s done! InScribe 2007 is finished and it’s now available for download. And the best part (besides being a really great piece of software) is that it’s FREE! That’s right. Call us crazy but we’ve decided to offer InScribe 2007 for free. Just pop over to our website and you can download it from there!

I also want to take a second to thank everyone who helped to make this possible including everyone here at Ilium Software (it’s always a group effort at Ilium Software!), our fantastic beta team, JkOnTheRun, and of course Lora, Ken, and Elliot over at Microsoft. It was a lot of work and at times a bit of a whirlwind but we’re really proud of the result.

So what are you waiting for? Go grab a copy!

CTIA, Handango Summit, and a Long Weekend

September 1, 2006 by Marc

Hi everyone! The blog has been a bit slow lately because we’ve been working feverishly on that UMPC product we talked about before (along with the updates to eWallet and ListPro that we’ve got in the works!) But the UMPC work is done, the beta is complete, and the final version should be out soon! We’ll be sure to let everyone know when it goes out.

A week from now I’m heading to California for the Handango Summit and the CTIA Wireless show. If you’re a blog watcher here and plan to attend either of those, let me know. I’d love to meet you and say “hi!”

And for all of our non-US readers, this coming Monday is Labor Day here so Ilium Software will be closed as we all take a nice 3-day weekend to kick back and recover from the big UMPC push! (And for all of our US readers, have a great Labor Day!)

Why don’t you support my OS?

August 22, 2006 by Marc

With so many great mobile operating systems out there, we often get asked “Why don’t you support my OS?” Like my previous post about upgrades, I hope this one will help shed some light on the challenges of supporting an operating system!

Upgrades anyone?

August 21, 2006 by Marc

There was a great discussion over at Pocket PC Thoughts about upgrades. Upgrades are something we spend a lot of time thinking about, and since this blog is a place where we can let you see behind the curtain, I’ll share some of our upgrade thoughts with you.

[Read more…] about Upgrades anyone?
