eWallet 6.1 isn’t out yet but work is in progress on the next version of our eWallet software. Normally we stay pretty tight lipped about new features, but I know we have a lot of FlexWallet users eager to hear about when their favorite FlexWallet features are going to find their way to eWallet. So I’d like to take a few minutes to let you know what we have in store!
Uninstall Survey Winner!
Congratulations to Chris, who won our most recent Uninstall Survey Drawing! As many of you know, when you uninstall one of our products it brings up a quick “Why are you uninstalling?” survey. As a thank you to those of you who take the time to fill this out for us, we draw a name randomly from the list of submitters and give away a $100 Amazon.com gift card. So congrats Chris! Hope you find something fun to buy!
And on a Product Management note, I love this survey. I learn SO much about the people who are using our product from reading the comments posted in these. To other developers out there, it’s a wonderful way to learn about just what it is your customers want from the product!
The First Winner of the New Year
Happy New Year! Looks like I’m making the first post of the year on our blog, and it’s a good one too, because today is the day when I announce our latest monthly blog contest winner.
So – drum roll please – here is our first winner for 2008: Eric, whose winning comment was on the post eWallet 6.0 is Here. Congratulations! I just sent you an email explaining how to get your prize. If you don’t receive it, reply to this post and let me know.
Well, winning a contest on the second day of the year is a pretty good start to 2008, wouldn’t you say? To everyone who didn’t win, don’t despair – keep coming back and leaving your comments, because there are eleven more chances to win this year!
eWallet 6.0 is here!
eWallet 6.0 is out and we are really excited about this one. Not only do we have a ton of great features, we also have two incredible surprises to tell you about! I hate to keep people waiting so I’ll jump right in with the surprises first!
eWallet + FlexWallet = The Best of the Best!
Ilium Software and WebIS have teamed up to offer our customers the best electronic wallet ever. WebIS is focusing their efforts on their flagship products and Ilium Software is going to take the electronic wallet helm! In eWallet 6.0 we’ve taken the best of FlexWallet and added those features to eWallet (and there are more FlexWallet features on the way!) We’re also providing FlexWallet owners with the full “eWallet Owner” experience, plus an easy migration path from FlexWallet to eWallet. You can get all the details here! (And if you haven’t tried out WebIS’s products, you need to! Check them out here!)
eWallet Web Companion (beta)
With this release we are also debuting the eWallet Web Companion, a web-based application that lets you access your wallet files from your iPhone, Linux, Mac, Blackberry, Symbian phone, PSP, Amazon Kindle, Nintendo Wii…you name it! If it has a web browser and an internet connection you’re ready to go! Read more about it here.
Also, the beta is already underway, so if you’d like to take part head over to this page and fill out an application to take part!
eWallet 6.0 Features
And of course we have a bunch of excellent new features. You can get the full list here, but here are some highlights!
- 256-bit AES FIPS Encryption
- SFTP Synchronization
- Flex View grid-style card display
- Attach files to your cards (and encrypt them!)
- Built-in Importer
- Free card backgrounds
- Over 200 new icons for available for download
Like I said, it’s a great set of features and we are really excited about this one. We certainly hope you like it. With version 6.0 , we’re taking eWallet straight into the future and ensuring eWallet users everywhere that wherever the future of mobile computing takes them, eWallet will be there for them!
10+ applications for getting down to business with Windows Mobile 6
Here’s a list I like – 10+ applications for getting down to business with Windows Mobile 6 – published on the Tech Republic blog today. Not only because we’re on it twice (thank you very much), but also because it’s a great reminder – along with 10 reasons why the Samsung i760 is better than the iPhone for business users, by the same author – of how flexible and functional these handhelds can be. Thanks, Debra Littlejohn Shinder and Jody Gilbert!
The Last Winner of the Year
Time flies when you’re having fun, and now it’s already December, which means today I’m picking the last blog contest winner of the year! It’s also the holiday season – of course, according the every retail store I’ve been in this year, the holiday season started before Halloween… Anyway, since it’s December, the holiday season is officially upon us, in my mind. So today’s lucky winner is getting one of their gifts a little early this year, and let’s see who it will be!
This month’s winner is Colin, who commented on the post Thanksgiving Week. Congratulations! I just sent you an email explaining how to get your prize. If you don’t receive it, reply to this post and let me know.
To everyone else, thanks for all the great comments, and be sure to keep coming back because somebody has to be the first winner in 2008, and it could be you!
